Window Treatments For Sliding Glass Doors With Transom-Insiders Guide



Bare walls can make a home look cold and uninviting. You can say the same thing about a lack of curtains or blinds. Custom window treatments can add sophistication and style to your home and bring warmth and softness to any room.

Drapes

Draperies can be made out of a variety of different fabrics. If you are looking for something to help darken the room, you can choose a heavier fabric. However, curtains do not have to block out the light. They can be used to filter light while not blocking it out completely. Gauzy material can make the sun or other light source less harsh without blacking out the room.

In addition to the different types of light diffusing fabrics, you can get different types of solids, prints, and textured designs. You have an endless amount of choices that will help you bring your space together. In order to decide between the infinite options, you may need the assistance of an experienced designer.

Blinds

Custom window treatments aren't limited to just drapes. You can also get blinds designed and created just for your home. They are affordable, and can be oriented either vertically or horizontally. You can also have them made out of either wood or faux wood if you prefer, so you can enjoy hassle-free cleaning and the longevity of durable materials. Like with fabric drapes, you can have blinds coordinated with the existing décor of your home.

You may think that all blinds must be the same boring slats, and, therefore, would not fit an arched shaped space. However, custom fan and arched blinds are made to fit your windows perfectly, and are a good way to soften the space. Shutters are also a good choice if you want to block the light completely from causing damage to any interior items.

Shades

A final choice for custom window treatments is shades. These pieces combine the beauty of fabric drapes and the easy operation of a blind. You get the same choices when it comes to different fabrics, and the variety of liners will help control the level of light penetration. However, instead of fussing with opening and tying back draperies, you can simply pull the string and raise them like blinds.

Shades can also be easier to hang than draperies. With curtains, you have to mess with rods, brackets, and measuring two or three times to make sure they are hung correctly. Shades can come with pre-drilled head rails. You don't have to do any of the fussing in order to get them hung properly.

Custom window treatments are a great idea to bring warmth and comfort to your home. And they don't have to be expensive. The right design can pull together your room without breaking your budget. You may initially spend more if you go for a tailor-made design, but they last for much longer. Store-bought options are designed to be replaced every couple of years, meaning over time, you will end up spending more money than you would for a quality product.
