Transform the Aesthetics of your Home with Custom Window Treatments

Updated: Oct 27, 2021

A person’s home says a lot about them, and often people will spend hours choosing paint colors, furniture, and art pieces to match their design aesthetic. Window treatments, however, are often overlooked, with homeowners opting for standard shades or blinds rather than investing in custom products that are made to measure and personalized to their homes.


On average, Americans spend over $5,000 repairing and replacing their windows but then do not invest in dressing them correctly. There are, however, many benefits to selecting custom window treatments that can positively benefit the look of your home.


Better Customization

While some ready-made window treatments do offer some choices, there will be limited sizes and fewer color and material options. No matter whether the material is wood or material, custom creations offer more choice, meaning you can more easily match it to your design aesthetic. Not only can this improve the look and feel of your home when you are living in it, making it feel more luxurious and put together, but it can also increase the value of your home. Potential buyers expect basic window finishes, however, custom blinds are a welcome bonus, often being an incentive to buy the property.


Better Quality

Often store-bought, standard window dressings such as curtains or blinds are mass-produced and are of lower quality. Consumers are often told that they get what they pay for, and for window dressings, this is certainly true. While custom window treatments can be more expensive, you are paying for better workmanship and better-quality materials. This, in turn, makes them more durable, meaning that they will not need to be replaced as quickly, saving you more money in the long run.


Improved Energy Efficiency

The design of your home should not only focus on how it looks but also on how functional it is, and custom window treatments can help with that. Compared to off-the-shelf products, custom window décor has more options – they can be opened and closed in particular ways, allowing you to access the windows to adjust them according to the temperature – moderating it without having to turn up your heat or air conditioning.


Additionally, custom window treatments are designed to fit perfectly in the spaces provided as they are made to measure products. This means that less energy is lost during the colder winter months. According to a study by the UK’s department of energy, around 30% of heating is lost through windows, so any efforts to minimize this will save energy and money. During the warmer summer months, they can be closed to provide shade and shelter from the sun. This helps cool the home down as around 76% of sunlight enters through windows, turning into heat and increasing room temperatures.
