Window Coverings are very important to the overall design of a home. When you move into a new home or want to make a major change to your existing space, window treatments can be one of the first things to tackle in your home. Proper window coverings can change the atmosphere in a room, from improving the overall look to helping control sunlight, noise, and energy efficiency. But which is the best for your windows to choose from? Curtains, custom shades, blinds, or custom awnings? There are so many styles to choose from. Here is a little guide for window coverings, and you will find one to suit your needs.

The Custom Shades 

Shades are becoming increasingly popular for both residential and commercial use. This is mainly because they are easy to use. And if you are one of the people who prefer to have natural sunlight in your home, you will appreciate the design of this product.

Shades can be rolled up manually because they have a coil or some type of wire that can be easily pulled or released to close or open the shades. However, recently, you can also find advanced versions of motorized roller blinds. You can fold or roll these blinds automatically by pressing a button on the remote control. On the other hand, some prefer manual operation. 

If you're a techie, there are smart automated options for added convenience with automation, scheduling, or even voice control. However, the great thing about roller shades is that you will find a variety of patterns, beautiful color variants, and designs to choose from. There are different types of styles in shades as well. For example, roman shades pleated shades, classic shades, and many more.

Custom Drapery

Custom made drapery allow you to meet all standards or needs of coverings regardless of the size of your windows, which means you don't have to adapt a store-bought curtain to make it work. You are also not limited to the inside of the window frame, such as when mounting blinds or awnings, but blinds and parasols in combination with custom shades often complement each other in design.

Custom Drapery can be lined as well. Lined curtains can stop the light in a better way because lining gives the drapes more thickness and keep sunlight out of windows, and often making them perfect for bedrooms. Drapes without linings can work well on windows that generally have a lot of shade or if you have another window treatment, such as custom awnings.

Net Curtains

Sheer or also called net curtain is one that is made of translucent ‘see-through’ fabric. The transparency of the fabric is reflected in 3 main appearances extremely rare, thin, opaque. Materials that can be made translucent include chiffon, silk, or nylon. 

The fabric comes in an extensive variety of colors, but for curtains, white and shades of white, such as cream, winter white, off white, or grey are popular. During the day, they let you look inside out and stop outsiders from seeing directly inside. These curtains not just look good and classy but also gives your house proper privacy.
