Common Mistakes People Make When Choosing Window Coverings

Window coverings are an important part of any home. They provide privacy and shade while also adding a decorative touch to your space. Choosing window coverings for your home can be daunting; there are so many options, and it can be difficult to decide what will look best. However, making the wrong choice can not only hurt the aesthetic of your home but can also cost you time and money. As experts in the field, we at DoneRight Window Coverings want to help you avoid making mistakes that could cost you money. This is why we have written down some of the common mistakes people make when choosing window coverings.

1. Assuming the window coverings seen in a magazine will work for them

While the coverings seen in a magazine may look beautiful, you have to keep in mind that what works for someone else may not work for you. Your window may not have the depth needed to have that window treatment installed on your window, or the fabric may not come in the width needed to cover the window. Having a window treatment expert help guide you through the process is really helpful to the homeowner.

2. Not getting motorized roller shades

We have noticed many of our clients that want a roller shade on a very large window with a lot of height, but they don't want to motorize their shades. The mistake lies in the fact that the fabric will be too heavy to lift up. For big and tall windows, always go for the motorized option. The motors even come with rechargeable batteries to make them easy for the consumer to use.

3. Not prepping the windows well

When building a new home or renovating your home, usually, the consumer isn't thinking of window coverings. Today as the consumer is enjoying electronics, more and more people are motorizing their window treatments as you can use your smartphone or tablet to open and close your window treatments. The thing is when building or doing renovations; the homeowner should run wires to the top of the window inside the casing so you can hard wire the motors of your window treatments.

4. Not catering to their needs

You may have a beautiful view of your lake or forest, but the sun is very strong and coming through the window. Furthermore, these rays harm your floor and furniture. How do you keep the view and protect your furniture? We would recommend buying a roller shade with a material that you can see through but will block the harmful UV rays. What a lot of consumers don't realize is that while you get the lovely view while the shades are down, at night, people can see the inside room when the lights are on. To fix this, you can put two roller shades in the window. One you will use during the day, and then the shade behind is a black-out fabric which you will bring down at night to give you privacy.
