subject: Should I Install Roller Shades Or Some Other Window Treatments? [print this page]


Adding new window shades to any room can make it look better and more modern. However, choosing the right kinds of coverings is not always easy, especially since there are so many to choose from, including roller shades, window shades, and curtains. Furthermore, there are many styles of each of these types of coverings and they come in many different patterns, colors, and fabrics. So how do you choose the right kinds of roller shades?

Make a budget before heading to the stores to look for your new roller shades. If you spend more money than you can afford to spend, you will regret it later. While you are out shopping, try to only consider coverings that fit within the budget you have set and do not be too tempted by overpriced items.

Sometimes, it is hard to afford all of the things you need within a set budget. Do not be tempted to charge everything to a credit card in these cases. Instead, look for stores with deep discounts and huge sales. Browse the Web for online auctions or only do small parts of your project until it is done. You can also wait until you have more money or for clearance sales.

For each room that you are going to install new window shades, take note of the colors that exist in there. For instance, you need to remember the colors used for the walls, the carpeting, and the furniture in order to ensure that your coverings will work well in that room.

Take good measurements of each window you are fitting. You will need to note the height and the width as well as possible locations for the mounts for each covering. You might also want to take a preliminary measurement of the height and width you want the covering to go over, since some actually extend beyond the window.

Curtains are a great choice if you want easy installation. Normally, all you have to do is put a curtain rod above the window and hang the curtains from it. Curtains come in tons of different types of fabrics, like polyester, cotton, satin, and linen. They also feature many types of colors and patterns. When choosing curtains, make sure you buy the kind that block out enough light for each room.

There are different types of window shades you can purchase. These include the horizontal type and the vertical type. The difference between these is that the horizontal type features horizontal slats, while the vertical type features vertical slats. Many people find that the vertical type are easier to care for, and do not stick as much. Blinds come in many colors, patterns, and materials, like vinyl, PVC, and bamboo.

Rolling shades are easy to use and can look good in nearly any room. Some of these are very affordable. They are available in a wide array of colors, patterns, and fabrics. Different shades will allow different levels of light into your home, so choose wisely.

Finding the perfect roller shades, curtains, or window shades for your house will take time. Just make sure they look good in your rooms and that they suit your wallet.
