Choosing Window Treatments for New Construction

Building a new home is exciting. It’s also filled with many decisions and lots to think about. As move-in day nears, window treatments are often high on the list. With so many options, it can be a challenge to decide just what will be right for your new home.

At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we’ve helped many customers navigate the options for their new homes, including matching décor, getting the right sizes, and staying within budget.

Things to Consider

When you’re ready to look at window treatments, be sure to think about the following aspects.

• Functionality. Your new window treatment should function the way you want and need it to, especially when it comes to light and privacy control. Without the right functionality, you won’t be satisfied with your window treatments in the future. Operating systems are also important. For example, if you have hard-to-reach windows, such as in skylights, windows in vaulted ceilings, or windows behind bathtubs, you might consider motorization options.
• Style and design. How do you want your new window treatments to look and feel in your home? We can consult with you to help determine your stylistic goals and how your new window treatments will complement or enhance the rest of your décor. We’ll help you choose styles, designs, and colors, and we can help ensure that your products are versatile enough to continue to work as you change other elements of your room design. Many customers like to mix and match color options, including using drapery and other soft treatments to enhance the look of blinds and shades.
• Energy efficiency. Saving money on heating and air conditioning is a great benefit of many window treatment options. With a wide range of stylish and energy-efficient Hunter Douglas window treatments, we can help you maximize your energy use. In fact, our Architella shades have the highest energy-efficiency rating in the industry.
• Child and pet safety. While all of our window treatments have safety features for children and pets, some go above and beyond accepted safety standards, especially those with cordless systems. All of our blinds and shades can be customized for maximum safety without sacrificing style.
