Top Reasons to Install Custom Shades

Are you tired of your current window treatments? Perhaps you are looking for an upgrade. Custom shades are the perfect way to enhance your windows, provide privacy and add a touch of style. Here are some tips that you should follow before you order your new custom shades.

Privacy

One of the main reasons for any type of window treatments is to provide privacy. Depending on the room that you will be installing your custom shades you should consider the amount of privacy you are looking for. A thicker shade will increase privacy as opposed to a thinner shade.

Light filtering

The options for filtering sunlight are endless. Blackout shades are available as well as shades that will let the light in. If there is an area that has direct sunlight you may want to choose a thicker shade for UV protection of your furniture and other belongings.

Colors

Custom shades are available in a large variety of colors. Knowing what your color scheme is upfront will help you with the ordering process.   If your home boasts warm and neutral colors you will want to choose shades that are complementary. However you could also choose shades in a contrasting color to make your window stand out. The choice is really up to you and the options are limitless.

Style

There are also many styles of shades available, from contemporary to traditional and everything in between. Depending on the look and feel of your home you will want to choose a style that is complementary. If you have a traditional home you may want to choose more ornate shades for your windows.
