How to Choose the Best Window Furnishings

Window furnishings can have a major impact on how a room looks and feels and are something you will see every day – so it is vital you achieve an end result that’s both beautiful and practical.

You might be surprised to learn just how expensive some window furnishings options can be! Your budget may immediately rule out some window covering options or make you decide to install yourself rather than having them installed by the provider.

It pays to buy the best quality you can afford. Apart from finishing off the décor of your home, quality window coverings will affect your home. From window safety features and pattern choices to natural light and blackout blinds, choosing the right window furnishings can make all the difference to a good night’s sleep, keeping temperature control in the house and keeping out the external sound.

Lighting control is one of the biggest factors for homeowners choosing a window covering. Babies and small children require a lot of sleep, often during the day. Whether you want to darken the room or utilise natural light to brighten the room, different opacities in a window covering can filter or deflect sunlight depending on your needs. Roller Blinds in conjunction with a headbox and side channels is a great solution to maximum light control.

Most of your home’s energy is lost through its windows, up to 30% of heat comes from your uncovered windows. One of the greatest benefits of quality window furnishings is the ability to control a room’s temperature, helping to ensure your room does not become too cold or too hot.
Curtains and blinds to keep the air in as well as create a peaceful, private space. Changing the look of a room is easy with curtains and blinds, as they can create a whole new look in no time at all.

When considering your range of options, it is important to remember that many older-style homes can often have non-standard sized windows that might make it challenging to install certain window treatments. Some window treatments are better suited to certain interior styles than others, especially if you have to consider face mounted or recess fit options. Consider what look you are going for and research what window treatment best suits the style or what you have.

Making the best choices for your family from blinds, venetians, plantations or romans or shutters, to soft shades, curtains and awnings, it is best to keep window coverings simple, relatively neutral so as you changes they do not need to be changed.
