When choosing window treatments, you should consider your budget, privacy and reducing glare.
Do you like looking out and letting the sunshine in your home?
Some people forget that if we have the wrong window treatment, we will hide in our homes. As some people believe that we need to be exposed to the sun, as this could impact our moods over time. According to Mayoclinic.com, a decrease in sunlight can lead to a decrease in serotonin which may cause depression. You should have a spot in your home that allows you to get some sun whenever you like. Consider a design that allows you to enjoy the outdoors while you are at work, especially if it is a home-based business.
Are the windows your first impression when you enter a room?
If the windows are “pictorial,” which are large and striking, first impressions are everything. It is crucial to choose a window treatment that makes you happy. Tedious window treatments are not functional. Remember that these large windows will take up much of the space’s visual interest. Think about how window treatments can be seen from outside the home.
What will it look like from the outside?
You may have noticed bedding sheets being used as window treatments in your neighborhood. This is the perfect example of something being used to provide privacy. You might consider a unique design that incorporates color or a pattern. When it comes time to sell your home, this will affect its curb appeal. It is essential to consider how the window treatment will appear from the outside when making a decision.
Do you enjoy natural air entering your home?
Fresh air is the best way for you to eliminate toxins and unpleasant odors from your home. Fans can be used in place of air conditioners to promote a more eco-friendly lifestyle and environment. Consider a design that allows you to open your windows whenever and wherever you like.
How do you decorate your home?
Traditional home decor will look harmonious if you choose treatments that reflect this style. The overall design of a rustic home with elegant drapes will not work well.
Which room gets the strongest sun during the day in your house?
Morning and noon are the most intense times of the day for the sun. This can make certain rooms in your home hotter or cooler depending on where they are located and the placement of windows. Window treatments should be able to withstand heat and harsh sunlight, especially if you have a room that receives the most sun. Avoid silk curtains. Remember that sunlight can cause sofas and flooring materials to lose their color.
