Custom Window Treatments

Amy’s interior design background is what makes her window treatment work different. She does not simply measure a window and sell a product. She considers the room, the light, the furnishings, the proportions, the privacy needs, the function, and how each choice will work in real life.

The first step is understanding why you want to cover the windows and what the treatments need to do.

Do you need privacy, sun control, room darkening, or help with glare? How often will the window treatments be opened and closed? Are there children or pets in the home? Do you have difficult-to-reach windows or large walls of glass that may benefit from motorization?

These questions help Amy determine the best direction for your home, your lifestyle, and the way each room is used.

Several factors are considered when designing your custom window treatments, including:

The style of the window
Not all treatment styles work on every window type. Window treatments should make a statement, but they also need to suit the proportions, purpose, and function of the room.

Your lifestyle
Amy considers durability, ease of cleaning, maintenance, children, pets, and how long you plan to stay in the home. Custom window treatments are traditionally left behind when you move and can be a strong plus when marketing your home.

Your personal style
Casual, formal, or somewhere in between, your window treatments should complement the way you want your home to feel. Amy helps you choose options that fit your taste and the level of impact you want in the room.

Your budget
Your investment helps determine the best style, fabric, and design options for the project. Costs vary based on the treatment style, fabric selection, window size, and complexity. Amy can help value-engineer the project while keeping in mind that custom window treatments are made specifically for your home.

Many clients have a general idea of the look they want, but others have a harder time picturing the finished result.

For those clients, Amy offers her unique Photo Vision process. She takes photos of your actual windows and adds to-scale drawings of various design options so you can better envision how the final window treatments will look before they are made.

With so many fabrics available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Amy helps you select fabric based on how it will be used, how it needs to perform, and how it will work with your lifestyle.

Window treatments, draperies, upholstery, pillows, bedding, accents, and walls all have different functions and often require different fabrics. A soft drapery and a heavily used sofa, for example, usually need very different materials.

Amy also considers children, pets, eating areas, cleaning needs, durability, and fabric performance. Today’s high-performance fabrics can be extremely durable, but the right choice still depends on where and how the fabric will be used.

Because fabric prices and quality levels vary widely, establishing an appropriate investment for your project is an important part of making a confident choice. Choosing the right fabric and following proper care guidelines will help you enjoy your finished pieces for years to come.

Amy also takes fabric selection personally. Once a fabric is chosen for your home, she does not repeat that same fabric for another client in your area. This helps protect the individuality of your design and keeps your finished space from feeling copied or duplicated.
