One of the first things you should consider when you are looking to install new window treatments in your home is whether you want to go custom or retail. Custom window treatments can be expensive compared to window treatments that you find in a department store. However, despite this extra cost, they come with many benefits. We highly recommend that you choose to go custom because we guarantee that they will last you much longer. This is truly a “you get what you pay for” situation. 

Window treatments are eventually going to break down, but custom window treatments are so well made that they are going to last quite a while longer than store-bought window treatments. In many cases, you would have to replace your store-bought window treatments two to three times in the time it would take custom window treatments to break down. This means you would be replacing your store-bought window treatments over and over again, spending more and more money on them. Oftentimes, they end up being more expensive than custom window treatments because of how often they have to be replaced. 

Another thing to consider is the type of window treatment that you are looking for. Are you looking for blinds? Curtains? Shades? Shutters? There are so many different options when you are looking for window treatments, it can sometimes be overwhelming. It can be helpful to think about where the windows are in your home that you are looking to cover. Maybe you are looking to cover windows in a media room or bedroom. Room-darkening shades can be a great option for these rooms to eliminate glare and make it easier to sleep at night. If you are looking to open up a space that is kind of tight, maybe a sheer shade is a great option for you. Natural light will help make a space feel larger, while the sheer shade diffuses out harmful UV rays. Hunter Douglas also offers options that involve a sheer shade and movable, opaque vanes. 

You should also consider the style you are looking for. Different types of window treatments create different feelings and vibes in a space. Some window treatments, such as draperies, can create a very sophisticated look, while others, like the Hunter Douglas Woven Woods collection, can create a more casual, warm feeling.
