Deciding on the best Window treatment.

Choosing the best window treatment from the myriad of options available today can be quite difficult without expert help.

Should you choose Curtains, roller blinds, romans, shutters, venetians or many other possibilities?

Marinka Design can guide you through the process as we have done over and over with many of our clients, but here are some pointers:

- Window coverings have 4 aspects to get right, being "Light", "Privacy", "Insulation" and "Decoration".

Light

- Having the correct amount of light at the various times of the day and night is a challenge in itself. This is an important aspect for almost any room as insufficient light can make great design dull and less impressive.

Privacy

- Whilst privacy may not be as important in a living area as in a bedroom or bathroon, it is a necessary consideration that can be accomodated with either layered combination blinds or even Shutters. Roller Blinds or romans can provide privacy when closed but offer little other than light when open.

Insulation

Keeping heat in during Winter and Heat out in summer is extremely important from both a comfort and cost point of view. Orientation of windows is an important consideration when choosing coverings based on this factor, let alone the other aspects.

Decoration

Last but not least, window coverings form an integral part of the decor of each room, offering a warmth by adding fabric, colour and design with choice of materials and simplicity and elegance wih shutters.

It's a real challenge to make the best choices especially when you add existing considerations like paint colour, carpets or floor finishes, furniture, artwork and decoratives.
