Many home owners that can’t afford to completely redecorate their home may decide to give it a fresh look by changing just the window treatments. In the beginning it may sound like a simple task, but as they walk through their home, they realize that it’s not a one solution project. Each room has its own needs as well as its own style and shape.

There are a few questions to ask about each room that can help narrow down the choices.

Is light control necessary?
In the case of a kitchen or living area, light may be welcome, but a bedroom may need dark or heavy window shades to block out the light and allow enough sleep time, especially in those summer months when the days are long.

Is privacy more important than decoration?
Sometimes fashion is everything, in which case it doesn’t matter that the sheer curtains let people see into the home. Heavier blinds and shutters will protect privacy, but may sacrifice some fashion, though with today’s design options it is fairly easy to satisfy both needs.

Is a layered look appropriate?
In a bathroom or workroom, simple blinds can be both functional and attractive. Rooms with a more cohesive design may require layers of blinds or shades with curtains or drapery. It is even possible to create an attractive treatment that incorporates several layers of blinds or uses different colored curtains to create a new color.
