We all love to make our homes a reflection of our own personal style. We also want them to look nice, often like what we see gracing our Instagram and Pinterest screens. So just how do people get those Pinterest designer-worthy window treatments we all love? 

Why Custom Window Treatments are Designer Worthy

Big box stores are great for convenience but they don’t offer the selection you will find at a locally owned, custom window covering store. A greater selection isn’t the only perk of buying custom window treatments. Custom window coverings are made with better materials, helping extend their life and give you more for your investment. And because they are made to order, your new window treatment is made to fit your exact window size, offering better fit and greater insulation from outdoor temps. 

Elevated Views is your locally, family owned custom window covering store in the Pikes Peak Region. We offer the highest quality custom window treatments and have over 10 years of experience in the industry. Our staff, from the design consultants to the installers, are trained and knowledgeable, helping you create the look and feel you want in your home. Our no-pressure sales guarantee also means that we won’t ever pressure you to buy a window covering outside of your set budget! We believe there is an option out there for everyone at every price point! 

Now let’s take a look at our top 3 Pinterest-worthy custom window treatments.

1 | Interior Shutters

Interior shutters are our top choice for designer-worthy window treatments for several reasons. They look amazing inside and outside your home. Their curb appeal and full control of light filtering and privacy means that home buyers are willing to pay more for them. This makes interior shutters the only window treatment that adds value to your home, making them a great investment. Their upscale style and multitude of options makes them a great fit for any interior design style, helping you add panache to your home. Plus, you can layer soft treatments, such as drapes, over the shutters for a more luxurious feel, perfect for formal living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. 

Interior shutters come in both wood and faux wood as well as a variety of color and stain options. Just like blinds, you can choose from different slat widths to fit your design style. But unlike blinds, these window treatments are mounted to your window frame. This minimizes gaps that hot and cold air can seep through, making them a more energy efficient option compared to blinds. 

This window covering is further customized through different options, including number of panels, frame moulding, hidden tilt or tilt bar, and divider rails (which allows you to operate the top half and bottom half of the slats independently for greater privacy while allowing light to filter in). For those with small children, you can also add a locking mechanism to your shutters, keeping guests and children from swinging the panels open and hurting themselves or damaging something in your home. 

2 | Wood and Faux Wood Blinds

If you love the idea of shutters but don’t have the budget for them, you can get the same chic style with wood and faux wood blinds. Just like interior shutters, you can choose material, color and stain, slat width, and between corded or cordless. We recommend going cordless if you have a more modern interior design style, or if you have pets and small children.

Like interior shutters, you can layer blinds with a soft treatment, such as drapes. By layering hard and soft treatments, you create a more uniform look from the outside of your home, upping your curb appeal, while offering more flexibility inside to play with color and pattern. 

3 | Shades

There are many different styles of shades, including cellular, roller, roman, pleated, sheer, and natural shades! Your options are seemingly endless with choices of material, fabric, pattern, and color, allowing you to create a fully customized and personal look. 

With shades, you can go bold with bright colors and patterns, or create a softer look with neutral shades or tone-on-tone patterns. No matter what you select for your home, there is something for everyone when it comes to shades! Plus, you can add linings to your shades for extra insulation or room darkening or blackout properties.
