Luxury Window Shades
Hunter Douglas

Custom window treatments truly reflect your personality and create a unique style statement for your home. For instance, you may choose window treatments which will provide fresh air and light, and in turn save electricity. Of course, custom treatments will fit your windows perfectly, whatever style or size you may have.

If you have some basic treatment ideas, you can participate with your interior designer and together decide on the treatment type as per your needs and tastes. Window treatments can be classified into hard treatments and soft treatments. The main function of the hard treatment is to take care of the functional requirements. Examples of hard treatments are shutters, blinds and shades. They fulfill some purpose and also add to the styling value. They are designed and selected for specific needs, e.g. to allow or restrict natural light, provide privacy or even allow access to the outside, etc. Soft treatments provide aesthetics and styling as well as serving functional requirements. At the same time, they can be easily dismantled for cleaning or storage. Fabric treatments such as curtains, draperies and soft shades are examples of soft treatments. A combination of the two often gets the best results. If perfectly blended, these can do wonders for your home, office or commercial spaces. Window blinds and shades are the modern choices for window treatments. They come in a large variety and you can choose either custom or ready made blinds and shades. They are made of a variety of materials too, such as fabric, vinyl, wood, honeycomb, bamboo, etc. They are also very flexible in allowing light into the room. Many of these come with one-touch control, by which you can either allow or restrict outside view and natural light. You also have the option to choose between horizontal and vertical window blinds and shades. Now that you know a little more about window treatments, you can plan in advance before making your decision.

Here is the list of factors which you should take into consideration while deciding on your window treatments:

• Room Type: This is the most important factor when selecting your window function.Which window do you want to treat? Is it in a living room, a bed room or a bath room? Is it your dream home, office or commercial space? Depending on your needs, you may prefer to opt for a functionality which requires privacy or which is nature-friendly. For living rooms, many clients like to allow defused sunlight while others prefer dark rooms with artificial lighting.
• Climate: Your choice of hard treatments may depend on the external environment and climate. Of course, you can use air conditioners to keep your room warm or cool, but if you have wisely selected window treatments, it will certainly save your household electricity.
• Outside World: What do you see through your window? Is it open sky, a lawn, sea or something beautiful you always enjoy looking at? Or is there something you want to avoid looking at? This is one of the main deciding factors for your window treatments.
