Are your current window treatments outdated? Have your blinds seen better days? Or maybe your drab big-box store drapes just aren’t cutting it anymore? 

If you dread having company come over because they might possibly see your window treatments from the 80s or 90s, keep reading because we’ve got 5 designer worthy window treatments that will keep your home stylish for years to come!

1 | Custom Blinds

Blinds are a classic option, but big-box store options won’t last. Custom blinds are made of high quality materials that will stand the test of time. You can select from real or faux wood in a plethora of colors and stains. 

Plus, custom blinds are cut to fit your exact window size, so you’ll have a perfect fit every time! That means you’ll have less gaps that can cause light seepage and it will keep your home more insulated. 

Have small children or pets? We recommend cordless blinds for a safe option that also provides a clean, streamlined look without the clutter of cords. Want a more lush look? Pair your blinds with custom drapes for a luxurious look perfect for your bedroom, formal living room, or dining room. 

2 | Interior Shutters

Interior shutters are a great option for any home decor style, including modern styles! Interior shutters come in a variety of options. Just like blinds, you can select from real or faux wood, different colors and stains, slat width, hidden tilt, and split control just to name a few. 

Because interior shutters are mounted directly to your window frame, they are made to fit your exact window size. This minimizes gaps even more than blinds do, giving you more utility bill savings. 

Interior shutters provide a timeless, chic look to any home. They are so desirable, in fact, that home buyers are willing to pay more for them. That means interior shutters are the only window treatment that actually add value to your home! Who could argue with that logic? They truly amp up the curb appeal of any home. 

3 | Roman Shades

The ancient Romans loved these window coverings and so do we! Roman shades have withstood the test of time when it comes to chic style, making them a truly timeless option. These soft treatments are known for their folds of fabric. You can opt for a more structured fold for modern looks or a softer fold for more traditional home decor styles. 

With endless options of fabric textures, patterns, and colors, the sky's the limit when it comes to Roman shades. With so many different options, there is truly a Roman shade out there to match any existing home decor style. 

For additional energy savings or room darkening capabilities, we recommend adding a lining to the back of your Roman shades. Not only does it make your windows look uniform from the outside, amping up your curb appeal, but it keeps your home cozy year-round!

4 | Roller Shades

If you want a sleek, modern, yet still classic option, look no further than roller shades. These window coverings roll up into a neat stack when fully open and pull down smoothly to offer privacy or light blocking power. 

Roller shades come in a variety of textiles, colors, textures, and patterns. You can opt for interior solar roller shades for your main areas with large windows. These allow you to keep your view while blocking damaging UV light, even when the shade is pulled down. Fabric options are also available, giving you a softer look with more privacy. 

5 | Custom Cellular Shades

We know what you might be thinking…“But my grandmother had these in the 70s.” While that may be true, don’t confuse today’s modern and stylish cellular shades with the ones your grandmother may have had back in the day. 

Cellular shades are known for their pocketed design that traps hot and cold air seeping in from your windows. These are the most energy efficient window covering by far. So for those of you with older homes and windows, these window treatments will keep you comfortable year-round in style!
