Window Treatments Tip #1: Determine Your Style
Take a cue from your home decor style. Is it traditional or more modern?

Choosing the right treatment we make all the difference in the space.
Window Treatments Tip #2: Choose Your Material
Determine what type of material fits your budget. Decide on whether or not you want fabric, vinyl, aluminum, wood and even faux wood to dress up your windows. Also, do you want something unexpected like a bead curtain or bringing a new accent color into the room? Pay attention to pattern, color and detail by adding embellishments.
