New Window Treatments

When buying a new home, one of the last things folks think about is the quality of its window treatments. If you aren’t sure when the last time your blinds, curtains, or shades have been replaced, it may be time to give your windows an update. Shades, blinds, and shutters have come a long way in the last several years—moving beyond the white plastic blinds many think about when they think about window treatments. New high-performance fabrics, patterns, and textures are here to turn your space into a real showplace. The team at Geneva’s Interiors put together a list of ways to know it’s time to send your old window coverings packing.

Are your shades broken? A window treatment doesn’t have to be inoperable to be considered broken. If you’re having to use more force to lift or lower your blinds than previously, the lifting mechanism may be broken. Instead, consider replacing them with a finely made horizontal or vertical blind made with high-quality materials and built to last the tests of time.

Do your window coverings have signs of damage? Damaged and broken are not the same thing. Your drapes could be in perfect working order but have unsightly stains or fading. Perhaps your blinds have bent slats. They still work, of course, but they aren’t as attractive as they once were. Your window treatments get noticed more than most people think they do—they provide a glimpse into your home—so you want yours looking as good as possible.

Sometimes your family outgrows your window treatments. Do your shades provide the level of privacy and light control you want? Are your window coverings helping to maintain a comfortable temperature in your rooms? If you can’t answer both of those questions with “yes”, then it may be time to think about new window treatments. Energy efficiency is not only good for the budget—it also helps to conserve resources. New window treatments are made with being environmentally conscious in mind—and you can make an ethical consumption choice by purchasing new, longer-lasting window treatments built to insulate your home from light and climate.

New window treatments will also enhance the aesthetic of your home. Options like top-down/bottom-up give you enhanced control over the amount of privacy and natural light you experience, and the latest materials help provide a layer of insulation at your windows to increase your home’s energy efficiency. You can also expect smooth, silent operation from new window coverings, especially if you go with a cordless option.
