Window treatments in your home

For centuries, window treatments were utilitarian, merely window coverings. Over the years, window coverings morphed into window treatments that are a major design element of interior design.

Today windows are  walls and French doors are massive statements. Keeping up with these changes, designers have developed window treatments that fulfill multiple uses including:

• Light control
• Conserving industry
• Remote control
• Sound absorption
• Window as focal point
• Privacy
• Repeat decorating theme

Window treatments go far beyond café curtains

Not that café curtains aren’t attractive window coverings, but the world of window treatments has evolved. Using materials like fabric, insulating liner, wood and vinyl, the basic forms of window treatments are:

• Blinds – vertical and horizontal
• Shutters – wood and vinyl
• Draperies and curtains
• Shades – roller, sheer, Roman, honeycomb

Hunter Douglas and Graber are some of the lines of window treatments we carry. Most window treatments are multi-purpose and do it well. For example, honeycomb shades provide light control, privacy, insulation and decoration.

Window treatments for your home

As the use of windows has evolved, window treatments have kept step. New and remodeled homes often have grand windows, spanning many feet and reaching up to the ceiling. While these windows are stunning, they are also a challenge in terms of privacy and light control. Shades, blinds or curtains from the big box stores come in standard sizes, with these windows you need a personalized, custom window treatment.

The window treatment professionals at Flooring & More can advise you on the best options for your windows. They take into consideration the décor of your home, the size of the windows and what your specific needs are in order to come up with solutions that click all the boxes, including your budget.

Considerations when selecting window treatments

Concerns that fall outside the aesthetics of window treatments also dictate the selection. When you are working with one of our design associates, be clear on what those concerns are. They might be:

• Child safety – no looping cords
• Energy savings with possible tax advantages
• Installation – does it need a team to install or take down for cleaning
• Warranties on fabrication and hardware

Window treatments in décor

The selection of a window treatment involves many of the above factors. The overlying influence is the style of your home. A mid-century modern interior wouldn’t use elaborate swags and valances with the drape puddling on the floor. Nor would you use vertical blinds on a bay window in a country cottage. For a relevant window treatment, it’s all about the context.
