Often overlooked or under-appreciated window treatments help manage light, provide beautiful views, and sometimes make or break a design. Like jewelry complements your wardrobe, window treatments can set the tone for your favorite nesting place.

If you have found yourself looking for coverings, whether to enhance the aesthetic, cover a bare window, fix existing treatments, or create functionality, what’s your next step? The answer, seek help from a professional at Budget Blinds who can provide a free in-home consultation with excellent customer services and will stand behind their products. Design Consultant Morgan Dale relates, “Our professional staff focuses on one thing and one thing only, window treatments! The displays in our showroom can definitely get you inspired, but our design consultants will ask the right questions, listen, and ultimately narrow down the thousands of possibilities to a few window treatment selections that work best for you.”

Blinds, shades, shutters, and drapes have been traditionally available over the years. These options come in virtually limitless styles, fabrics, and materials, varying in multiple price points. All products can be motorized as well, either by hardwiring or battery packs. Morgan shares, “Smart window treatments are here and it’s a fast-growing part of what we do. If you are building or remodeling a home right now, we encourage you to stop in and talk with one of our specialists about motorized window treatments. We can build our own smart network, or in many cases, we can connect to your desired smart network.”

As to following trends, it’s really about execution versus style. Morgan notes, “Trends can be tricky; we deal with different clients and designers that all have a different opinion of what good design is. Any type of style, newer or older, Modern or Vintage Colonial, if done well, is less susceptible to falling out of trend. With that being said, our designers will help find the right product for everyone’s style!” n
