1. Decide on hard or soft window treatments or a combination of both
Hard window treatments are made of hard materials like wood or vinyl. Examples are shades, window blinds and shutters.  Precise measuring is required to get a professional result.

Soft window treatments are anything made of soft materials such as: sheers, curtains, drapes, swags, valances, and roman shades which varies in styles from flat to hobbled design.   Although there are many To-do books for the do it yourselfer, there is a definite difference in the end result.   In purchasing readymade, even to enlist the assistance of a designer will help you achieve a more finished and designer result. A combination of both is a layered window treatment.   This combination requires very precise measuring. It is best to employ a professional to custom measure and install.


2. Style and Comfort

Style and comfort are essential in attaining the look you are after. Your window treatment must connect in some way to the other elements in your home, for example color and feeling.   In style it does not mean that if you have a traditional Lawson styled sofa that you must have a traditional window treatment. The best design is to inter-mix different elements of traditional and contemporary together. For example California shutters can stand alone in either a Traditional Décor or a Contemporary Décor. Similarly adding traditional side panel draperies giving a combination application can work in either too. The key is, it softens the style and creates a comfortable ambiance giving a more designer look plus giving a practical window treatment.

Benefits: The most common reasons for installing window films are: to improve comfort, to improve a         window’s appearance, to prevent fading of carpets and drapery, to save energy, and to provide daytime             privacy. Window films help save energy and reduce utility costs. Window films act as thermal shields, reflecting the hot sun in the summer and insulating against inside heat loss in the winter. Yet, the beauty outside the window remains unchanged. Window films also add more privacy to a home, affording a clear view to the outside, while, depending on the degree of privacy desired and the film selected, preventing others from looking in during the daytime.
