In this blog entry, the professional Los Angeles shade and blind installation team here at L.A. Shades and Blinds will detail some excellent tips for selecting the right window coverings for your California home.
Choosing Window Treatment Fabric and Finishes
It’s essential to select the specific right fabric and finish for your window curtains or shades in order to maintain a cohesive and attractive aesthetic in your home ,as well as maintain functionality. Materials like cotton, linen, or other natural fabrics provide a classic and elegant appeal. Synthetic materials like polyester are low maintenance and durable, making them a great choice for busy homes. Window shade fabric finish is also important, with special options ranging from sheer and semi sheer to blackout. Sheer finishes are ideal for natural light while allowing a special level of privacy, and blackout fabrics provide extreme privacy and special control over both temperature and light. When considering fabric and finish while choosing your window shades you can create harmony between your home window treatment style and functionality.
Choosing Window Treatment Color and Pattern
Have a sense of playfulness when it comes to choosing the color and pattern of your window curtains or shades. Bold window treatment colors provide energy to a room, and neutral tone shades and curtains create a sense of sophistication. If you want to choose a more low key aesthetic, use patterned window shades or curtains to provide visual flair without being too much of a bold choice. Many popular pattern choices include florals, abstract prints, and geometric designs.
Customizing Window Shade and Curtain Fit
We recommend purchasing custom window shades or curtains to perfectly match your window shades and become seamlessly blended
