After a grueling summer, Fall is finally gently guiding soothing breezes and cooler weather our way. Opening your home to the seasonal change is the perfect way to match the beauty of your décor to the naturally changing palette of the landscape! But before rushing out to buy all new window treatments to capture the crisp air, there are a few basic guidelines to think about. Will you go custom or will you buy retail? There are advantages to both. Retail is good for standard size windows. If you go custom, you must measure and then measure again! Custom window treatments is the higher investment, so if you are paying top dollar for your treatments consider only using them in the rooms of your home where you spend the most time and they will be appreciated.
