How to Choose Window Treatments
Everything you need to find the right window decor for your home
Window treatments are an important part of your home’s decor. They provide you with privacy, relief from heat, darkness for sleep or movie nights, and more. They’re also a stylish element that can transform any room. A window comes alive with a set of curtains and looks more complete when fitted with a set of shades or blinds.
But with so many to choose from, how are you supposed to decide which window dressings are right for your home?
Never fear, we’ve put together some fabulous guides that help you find the perfect window treatment for every room in your house. But first, let’s go over some important things you'll need to do in order to find the right window decor.
- Know what your options are. The first step to finding the best window treatment for your home is knowing what options are out there. You may know the basics—blinds, shades, curtains—but do you know what Venetian blinds are? What about roller shades? Do you know what an inside mount is vs. an outside mount? We created this guide to What Are Window Treatments to answer all of those questions.
- Measure your windows. Before you start browsing, it’s important to know the width, length, and (sometimes) depth of your window. Learn how to measure windows for blinds and shades as well as how to measure windows for curtains before browsing for window treatments.
- Find inspiration. The final step is figuring out what you like and what will look good in your home. For this, we recommend finding looks that you love and seeing what window treatments are being used in those spaces. You can start with our with our Window Treatment Ideas post. In this post, we share our favorite window treatments by room, how other people are using window treatments to style their spaces, how to pair window treatments, and more.
