First, take into account what functions are needed for your window treatments?
Do the treatments need to provide daylight and glare control? Are they needed for privacy? Before you even think about style, you should remedy these questions.

Weather conditions and sun are significant considerations.
Layering window treatments along with adding interlining to the drapery panels are both great ways to add insulation for changing weather conditions.. Interlining (which is the flannel-like fabric that is the interior layer connecting the decorative layer and normal lining) reduces damage from the sun and fading along with adding body for a better design.
Multiple treatments (adding shades, drapery panels, sheers or a valance or cornice) will minimize heat loss and save energy and cash. The more layers you add, the more effective your treatments will be as insulation. A mixture of textures, patterns and colors in the layering also adds much to a space's visual charm.
Consider the damage the sun can do to your furnishings, art and carpets. Blinds, shutters, sheers, and shades are wonderful protectors of fabrics. Because they can still let in light, and soften|reduce|diminish|tone down} glare, they are option for function.
Once you've determined appropriate function, now contemplate style.
What style are you looking for?
The aesthic of your room is altered deeply by the kind of treatment you select and how it is used. Are you going for something restrained to let your view do the talking? Do you want to accent your windows or blend them into the walls (yes, this makes the room look larger)? Take into account the overall feel you wish for the space to have.
What design needs need to be solved?
Is your space big or tiny? Are the ceilings lofty, squatty, or vaulted? Are the windows too petite for the size of your room? Are there strange design problems that must be addressed?
Look at your room and see what is lacking from a design point of view. Many design solutions can occur from simple window treatments. Tiny windows can be made to seem larger and short ceilings can seem higher.
Your room can even look more roomy (insert your desired outcome here) when you consider the aesthic, color, texture, and pattern of the treatment.
Choose Color and Pattern Carefully:
When you select the fitting fabrics for your custom window treatments you can tie a room together and visually draw the eye around the space for a unified look. The overall style is effected mostly by the color and pattern you select.
Why Choose Custom Window Treatments?
Custom does not suggest expensive. Custom treatments are key to get precisely the suitable look for your space and requests. Consider:
1. Scale and Proportion- Store purchased treatments do not have the fullness nor proper scale to formulate the impact and suit the function desires appropriately. Custom treatments can address the precise scale and have the precise amount of fullness for the space and desired fabric.
2. Lining- Window treatments in the stores often do not have sufficient lining for sun and heat/cold protection and light control.
3. Custom Fabrics- With custom treatments you can customize the look to fit the style and design needs of your space. (See style section above). Fabrics are one of the most simple ways to tie a room together.
4. Length- One of the most essential items in drapery is being able to - height to a room. Most store-bought drapes are considerably to undersized for the correct proportions.
