Things
to keep in mind before selecting your window cover:
Selecting
your window covering may be an easy task just by keeping the following points
in mind:
Curtains of rooms:
It
is a common practice that we put same curtain in every room. But the fact is
that each and every room has its own decor so according to the interior
decoration of that room curtains are to be selected.
Privacy:
It
is another most important thing that one should keep in mind before purchasing
a window covering.
For example bedrooms and bathrooms should not have sheer drapes but darker
window coverings that cover the windows.
Light of the rooms:
The
next important factor is the light. Drapes that are heavy blocks the light and
makes the rooms dark. However sheer drapes allow a lot of light to pass
through. Especially the bedrooms with beautiful views can use the sheer drape
which allows light and air to pass through them. The selection of drapes
depends on how much light is needed for the room.
Online retailers:
There
are many online retailers in the market now for selling window coverings. It is
important to select the right retailer for your window cover. Some important
guidelines for selection of your retailer can be as follows:
- It is important to know the exact size of your window before you purchase a cover for that window.
- Read all the details about the window cover including the color, material, price etc.
- If some confusion arises regarding the product immediately ask questions and clarify your doubts
- Return policy of different retailers can be different. So you should read the return policies first before you purchase because you may need to return the product in case you find it defective.
