How To Prepare for New Window Treatments

You may update your home’s interior with new window treatments as the new year begins. Whether you want a simple upgrade, a more lavish experience, or something in between, it’s important to start budgeting for home improvement. Window treatment planning doesn’t have to be difficult, and you can follow three simple steps to ensure you’re ready for every scenario along the way.

Set a Budget

Setting a budget is one of the most important things you can do when preparing for new window treatments and other home improvements. A budget ensures you look at window treatments to balance the prices you’re comfortable with and the styles you enjoy. While your budget doesn’t need a specific number, having a range is excellent so you have options for your window treatments. For example, you can set a minimum you want to aim for and a maximum you’re comfortable spending before looking at the window treatments.

Find Styles You Like (and Ones You Don’t)

Once you have a budget in mind, start looking at examples of different window treatments to decide whether blinds, shades, shutters, or another type of treatment is the best for your home. Consider looking at our gallery for inspiration. While knowing which styles, fabrics, and colors you like is important, understanding the ones you don’t want is just as valuable since it helps narrow down any options you may find. It’s even more so if you work with a consultant, as they can present different options for your home.

Schedule a Consultation

When you schedule a consultation with SunGard Window Fashions in Bloomington, you get to work with our expert team of window treatment and interior design consultants. They can show you our selection of window treatments and other services and customize them to your design preferences. They can also measure your windows to ensure you get a perfectly fitting window treatment, no matter what shape your windows are. During your consultation, you can choose your window treatments, and we’ll customize them for your home and windows.

While we always want to customize to your tastes, it’s also essential to understand window treatments' limitations and whether they can work for your windows. For example, we don't have interior shutters on your skylights, but we have a range of Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades that would fit them perfectly. Understanding our feedback and expertise helps your home’s window treatments perfectly match your personality.
