What is the Best Window Treatment for my Home?

Question:
Hi,
We recently put in new windows into our house, which has left me to replace of my window treatments. My sons room, the bathroom and our office, plus my kitchen. I like to show the frame of the window, but I am not sure if blinds or shades are better. I was thinking of Roman shades in the kitchen, but I like lots of light to come in. I really just need some sound advice what would look best.
Thanks in advance,
Sandy
Answer:
Sandy,
if you want to show the window frames, I would recommend you inside mounted window blinds or shades. You can browse Window Blinds and Shades site’s section for more information about their types. To determine which type is the best for your home, take in consideration your taste, interior style and specific needs for each room. Is there need for privacy, light control, light blockage, or good insulating there? Your new window treatment should blend well with entire room decor and its colors should work nicely with the colors of your new window frames. And, of course, it should be something you will like.
As for your kitchen windows, you may get light filtering Roman shades. Or, as alternative, you can hang decorative balloon
or tie-up window valance
, which look very similar to Roman shades but don’t hide the rest of the window and let more light to come in.Hope it helps you,
