Having a brand new home is an investment every family looks forward to. With interest rates not going down any time soon, it would be a great idea to take the necessary steps to make buying a home worthwhile – from furniture, appliances, bedding, and of course, choosing the right window covering in transforming your house to a home.

Before you choose the perfect window treatment, let’s dive into the options. These coverings not only add privacy and style but also control light and save energy. Check out the main types:

1. Roller Shades

Among the popular choices for window decor, the roller shade stands out. With its enduring presence spanning decades, homeowners are drawn to its straightforward functionality, while contemporary style enhancements have elevated it to a modern favorite. It’s Timeless!

2. Roman Shades

Originating from ancient Roman times, the textiles used in Roman shades have a traditional draping that descends over the window, offering superb privacy, control over natural light, and energy-saving qualities. However, in contrast to their historical counterparts, Roman shades have now cemented their place as a design essential, frequently adorned with patterned fabrics and unique folds – sometimes even cascading to lie flat against the window.

3. Draperies

Offering a perfect blend of window access or complete privacy, draperies have stood the test of time as one of the favored choices for window coverings. Their versatility has expanded over the years, allowing for complete opaqueness to darken a room, sheer fabrics to soften harsh sunlight, and any shading option in between. There’s even the option of stationary draperies – elegant side panels that may not close, but elegantly frame the window, adding a touch of style and personal flair.
