Of course, there are applications where the aesthetic beauty of a window treatment is the primary consideration for the homeowner and functionality takes a back seat. It is important to note however, that direct sunlight will cause significant damage to upholstery, carpeting, hardwood and artwork over prolonged exposure. Sun fade and rot are two very important considerations when choosing the appropriate window treatment, even if privacy and increased insulation are not.

The next step is to determine the overall style you are looking for. There are many beautiful blind solutions available today that offer the customer an ‘all in one product’ answer. The term hard window covering is often used to group blinds under one heading, however there are several styles of blinds that look and feel like soft flowing sheer and drapery. If a more formal, elegant, or traditional window treatment is preferred a layered, more elaborate, design may be the best alternative.

With this approach you can combine the cost effective functionality of a privacy blind to the soft flowing fullness of a sheer or embroidered organza along with a drapery over treatment, such as side panels or valance. Current trends, with regard to drapery fabrics, are focused on lined side panels hung on decorative hardware. This design provides a single layer solution for north facing windows, however if direct sunlight is a concern one should always add a blind or sheer to filter the damaging UV rays of the sun. Without a sun filtering layer the room would be darkened and closed off when the drapery is drawn. A layered treatment provides not only the necessary sun control, but also allows the homeowner to maintain their view while allowing natural light into the room.
