Custom Window Treatments in Garden City, Long Island
Nothing adds more polish and drama to a room than the proper window dressing. I equate it to the perfect scarf to add to an outfit—the final finishing touch. Quality custom window treatment is as expensive as a piece of furniture—and requires expertise to be done correctly.
Often, a window in the house needs some form of shade. It may be necessary for privacy, to block out the sun, or even to keep the room's temperature moderate.
I first ask my clients,
“What is the room's function?”
Is the room used for TV watching? There may be glare from the sun.
Is it a bedroom? You may need blackout shades that block the sun completely.
Is it a living room? With a lot of sun, the colors of the fabrics may fade in the sunlight.
Some things my clients look for in window treatments:
Privacy. You want sunlight but don’t want your neighbors to see inside.
Esthetics. This is where the style, color, and type of fabric can make a difference. Pick a shade close to your wall color unless you want your windows to be the first thing people look at when they walk into the room.
Cost. There is a shade for every budget. You can save some money by buying a ready-made shade that is cut to size. Anything can be made out of any fabric for a custom look.
As a designer, my favorite part is choosing the color, style, and texture. For example, we may choose a rod and finial that works with the room's elements. Next, we’ll choose a fabric that coordinates with the room's colors. I usually stick with the closest-to-the-wall color. For added drama, it’s nice to add a contrast fabric on the edge and maybe even on the bottom as well!
In essence, window treatments can complete a room, dressing it up with the final touch.
