Finding the Right Window Treatments for Homes Near Houston, TX

Have you tried everything you can think of to make your home feel new? Even if you repaint all the rooms, tear out the kitchen, and bust down the walls to embrace that trendy “open concept” feel, your home is still the same building that it was before. If you can’t think of any more ways to make your home feel like new again, have you considered getting new window treatments? If eyes are the windows to the soul, then your windows are the eyes of your home, so make sure they are outfitted properly. Keep reading to let the window covering professionals at Window Magic tell you exactly what you need to know for finding the right window treatments for homes near Houston, TX.

Blinds are truly the classic window covering, so they are a great place to start if you think your home’s window fashions are a bit out of date. Horizontal blinds are available in hardwood, alternative wood, and metal to bring a sense of classic elegance to your windows, and are ideal for windows that are taller than they are wide. However, if your home has fashionable, large window expanses or sliding glass doors that you need to access frequently, then we recommend vertical blinds instead. These blinds are able to be simply pushed aside for easy access, and are made from soft materials, like fabric and vinyl.

Hunter Douglas offers a wide variety of different custom window shades, so there is sure to be one that perfectly fits your home’s windows. If you love natural light in your home but wish it wasn’t so harsh, then we recommend sheer shadings or woven wood shades. Sheer shadings temper natural light, whereas woven wood shades dapple it, both giving your home illumination without the drawbacks of untampered sunlight. Roller shades are easy to use, and roman shades are deeply customizable. And, of course, honeycomb cellular shades are made to provide your windows with extra insulation, which can both keep your home cool during the hot Texas summer and help you lower your energy bills.

You would be hard pressed to find a window treatment as iconic as plantation shutters. They are simple to use, sturdy, and absolutely gorgeous to look at. Hunter Douglas offers plantation shutters in real wood for maximum elegance, as well as in a wood hybrid material for added durability. For the ultimate in durability, as well as added functionality (including the option for motorization), there are also Hunter Douglas’s Polysatin™ shutters. No matter what your home’s windows need, there is a plantation shutter option for you.
