You have so many options to choose from when it comes to window furnishings. You’re spoilt for choices these days. That’s why we decided to put together a bit of a guide below to help you. Don’t go choosing your window furnishings without it!
Where Do I Begin?
The first thing to know is that window furnishings should be an extension of you. That is, they should blend in with your lifestyle and personality. That way they will work well and you will be happy and satisfied. Nevertheless, you should consider the following:
· Your likes and dislikes (i.e. blinds or curtains?)
· Your budget
· The actual space (inside or outside or both?)
· The use of space (commercial or residential use?)
Have a Checklist in Place
Having a checklist in place will help you get organised, and make choosing your window furnishings easier. Consider the following for your list:
· The colour tones. Window furnishings should ideally match both the internal and external colours of your property.
· The position of your windows. This determines how much sunlight is received.
· Window size and ceiling height. This can affect visual perception and spatial awareness.
· Street elevation. It’s best to try to keep with the same extended look.
· The air flow. The right amount of air should flow where a furnishing is.
· Is it for practicality or aesthetics or both? You should know your ‘why’.
What Type of Window Furnishings are Available?
When it comes to window furnishings, you have some great options to choose from, including:
· Curtains
· Curtain tracks and rods
· Insulating curtains and blinds
· Blinds – i.e. Venetian, Roman, and Luxaflex blinds
· Commercial blinds and curtains
· Outdoor furnishings like awnings
Consider Automation!
Automation technology now makes it possible to control your window furnishings from the touch of a button. Curtains, roller blinds, venetian blinds and more can all be automated.
