#WeekendProject: Find the Right Window Treatments for Your Home

If you haven’t already done some hosting this holiday season, we’re betting you’ve got company on the horizon, waiting for Christmas to roll around. Of course, before guests arrive, we want to do everything we can to make sure our houses look clean, tidy, and beautiful. That’s why now is the best time to find the perfect window treatments for each room in your home.

Curtains, valances, and other window treatments can often be the finishing touch that leaves your room looking polished and put together. From the Orlando drywall team at New Ceilings, here are some tips for finding the best window treatments this weekend:

• Keep the functional purpose of your window treatments at the forefront of your mind. Beyond making a room look pretty, window treatments can control the light in the room, add privacy, and help regulate temperature. Before you even start thinking about design and colors, take these functional factors into account; they should help you narrow down the styles, materials, and sizes you need for your window treatments.

• Consider what you want to leave in or keep out. For example, if you have a stained glass window panel, you don’t want to cover it up with curtains. Conversely, if your outside view isn’t the most pleasant, you’ll want to make sure it doesn’t distract from the rest of the room.

• Make sure you’re equipped with the right tools and hardware. Curtains can be heavy, depending on how much and what style of fabric you’re hanging. Make sure you have the proper wall anchors for your curtain rod brackets to ensure you don’t cause serious damage to your walls. While you’re at it, ensure your selected curtain rod is up to the task as well!

If you couldn’t guess, we want to put the most emphasis on that final tip, as an overweight curtain rod can do some serious damage to the wall it’s hung on. Not sure if your walls are up to the task?
