<\/p>\nWhy waste time traveling from box store to box store only to pick through the selection of whatever\u2019s left on the shelves when you can have the boutique experience of ordering custom window treatments? With all the choices at White House Designs for Life, you can select between dozens of different types of blinds, shades, and shutters in colors, finished, and fabrications hand-selected by you with the help of our experienced team members. But what else makes custom window treatments so special?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Window treatments are necessary for privacy, light control, and at times, added insulation. You must decide which function you most need from your shades or blinds. Fortunately, the variety of styles and materials available allow you to address more than one issue and still have a window that wows.<\/p>\n
The fabric you choose can create a statement at your window, or a more subtle styling that balances another focal point in the room. A playful pattern is a great choice to contrast a room with neutral tones. For rooms that are already visually busy, try keeping your drapes or shades in the same color family as part of the design scheme.<\/p>\n
Rooms can appear generic and unwelcoming if there are too many cool hues or synthetic materials. The rich warmth of Parkland Wood Blinds or the earthy feel of Provenance\u00ae Woven Wood Shades can offset the stark colors to create a cozier environment.<\/p>\n
Light control is a vital component for daily life in your home. Nobody wants to be awakened with the rising sun on a Saturday morning or have their view of the evening TV skewed by a blinding glare. You can get the most privacy and light control benefits from window treatments with variable light control, such as blinds or shutters. Another good option is to layer light-filtering fabric with blackout shades. This can be accomplished with a single treatment using the Duolite\u00ae shade system as an addon to a variety of shadings and blinds from Hunter Douglas.<\/p>\n
Up to 30% of a home\u2019s energy costs are the result of poor insulation of the windows. Window treatments in general increase insulation, but some are much better at it than others. Duette\u00ae Honeycomb Shades provide exceptional insulation and sophisticated style with their cellular structure. An inside mounted Roman shade or shutters will also provide a significant increase in your home\u2019s energy efficiency. Any window covering that has minimal gaps between the edge and the window frame will be a good choice.<\/p>\n
If you live in a busy city or are just a light sleeper, you\u2019ll enjoy the noise reduction provided by some window treatments. Cellular shades are the star of this show and are among our selection of window treatments that can eliminate up to 70% of outside noise. Heavy fabric drapes, shutters, or shades will also perform well at this task.<\/p>\n
Window treatments are excellent for hiding architectural \u201cuh oh\u2019s\u201d or any area around your window that you find unappealing. You can also create the illusion of a larger space by hanging curtains or drapes several inches above the window frame and extending a few inches past the sides. This trick draws the eye upward which makes the ceiling seem higher. It\u2019s also a fantastic way to connect two smaller, separate windows and make them look like one expansive window.<\/p>\n
