Selecting Your Motorized Window Treatment

Begin by choosing the window treatment style that you favor. For ideas, browse the room scenes featured in the center of this guide. Consider your needs for privacy and light control, style and room characteristics.

When selecting your finials, brackets, holdbacks, pole, rods, traverse rods, sconces and rings, you may want to ask yourself the following questions to ensure that the drapery hardware complements your room decor and that it performs the function you want it to:

* Will the hardware accommodate the draw draperies, tab tops, curatins, swags, and valance I want to use?

* Will it coordinate with the style and room characteristics to enhance the look that I’m trying to achieve?

* Does the finish complement my room color scheme? Is the hardware scale proportionate to the room or windows?

* Does it coordinate with other furnishings?

* Do I want to frame the view or conceal it? Do I need privacy? All the time or some of the time?

* Is light control a factor? For comfort, for sleeping or to protect my furnishings from fading?

* Is energy control a concern? What direction does the window face? Into Sun? Into the prevailing wind?

You may achieve the best results if you take fabric and paint samples home to judge them in the light and room where they’ll be used. Shop with sketches and written window measurements. Or simply call the experts at DC Window Automation  for a Free in Home appointment at 630-325-7716.
