Moved in and Overwhelmed

You’ve just moved into a new home. While looking at your sea of boxes, the proverbial question runs through your head….Where do I start decorating my blank canvas? As overwhelming as it seems it is a great question. I would start with the windows. And here some very good reasons why you should start there...

Privacy and Light - For example, in the bedroom, privacy is the most important reason for draperies. Eliminating natural light while sleeping is generally the second reason why to start with the windows. Try adding blackout lining to draperies for superior privacy and room darkening.

Energy Efficiency - With today’s rising energy costs energy efficiency is more important than ever. In fact, up to 30% of all conventional heat loss in a room can be saved through the use of a nice heavy drapery fabric. But, it’s summer! Even in the sweltering summer heat the thermal lining protects by keeping the cold air in, and keeping the damaging sun rays out. By adding a blackout lining to your drape, the insulation value can increase up to 50%-60%!

Budget Conscience - Yes, believe it of not, there is way to achieve a designer look on a tight budget. When in a new home the budget can very important. When purchasing custom designer drapes and buying directly from the manufacturer you will save you hundreds of dollars per window.
