When Should You Bring Your Window Treatment Specialist Into A Project?

Window treatments are an essential aspect of interior design and construction. They serve to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space, they regulate the amount of light entering a room, as well as provide privacy and insulation.

When building a new home or starting a large-scale renovation project, you might think that window treatments are one of the last considerations, something you would choose with other home decor items. This could not be farther from the truth!

Involve Your Window Treatment Specialist Early

Yes, it is ideal to bring your window treatment specialist into a project during the planning and construction phase.

Whenever possible, it is ideal to involve a window treatment specialist during the construction phase of a home design project to plan and design window treatments. Why? There are several ways the expertise of your window treatment specialist can ensure your window treatments look and function exactly how you want them to by providing recommendations during planning and construction.

Choosing Window Treatment Types & Styles

The Clearance, projection, and window casing depth can impact the style of window treatments you can choose

The style or type of window treatment or soft goods you want to have is sometimes limited by the layout and design of the room and window. If, for example, you wanted inside mount shades in all of your windows, there are minimum casing depths necessary for the windows. The available space on either side of a window will also impact drapery hardware, and tricky recessed and bay windows also need special considerations.

Thinking about and planning this in advance with your window treatment specialist, who will have the foresight to ask these kinds of questions, can ensure you can have the exact window treatments you want.

Motorization

If you want motorized window treatments, it is crucial to involve your window treatment specialist as early in the project as possible. Whether you want hardwired, battery operated, or motorized window treatments that plug in, your window treatment specialist can provide specs and requirements needed during the construction phase.
