Whether you’re a first-time homeowner or looking to update the home you’ve lived in for years, custom window treatments make it all possible. At Lux Blinds, we can guide you through the process of choosing a treatment that’s ideal for your home all while making sure you know how to clean it, operate it and get the most out of what it’s got to offer.
Let What’s Popular Inspire You
In recent years, some of the most popular styles have been layered shades with similar tones. For example, if you have real wood blinds in a light colour installed, you can choose sheers or semi-sheer drapes in the same colour but a different tone for tone-on-tone layering. This way, you can get the functionality of blinds with the softness of drapes, minus the overwhelming chaos of having multiple colours. And who said you have to stay neutral? You can also enjoy pastels like powdery blues, soft lavenders and mint greens.
Motorized & Automated Blinds
Motorized blinds work with the single touch of a button to control your blinds from any room in the house, and even from an app on your phone while you’re away from home. Automated blinds, on the other hand, can also be scheduled to open and close at certain parts of the day to make it look like someone is always home and increase security. Scheduling also gives you an advantage for your sleep pattern – schedule your blinds to open at a certain time in the morning so you can rise with the sun, or schedule them to automatically close right before your family goes to sleep.
Consider Direction
Which direction do your windows face? North, south, east or west? It’s important to consider location as this can help you choose the most functional blind or shade. South-facing windows will get plenty of sunlight so if you want room-darkening, you’ll want to go for room-darkening shades that won’t be prone to warping or getting damaged from heat – synthetic materials are best for this. If your windows face north, they won’t get as much sun. This gives you more flexibility as you’ll be able to choose natural materials like natural wood if you wish.
Consider Energy Consumption
Are your energy bills already high? Do you have leaky windows? Choosing energy-efficient custom window treatments is ideal when making your home more friendly towards the environment, and your wallet. Honeycomb shades are by far our most energy-efficient window coverings.
