Do You Need to Replace Your Window Treatments?

We all get busy with daily life, and sometimes that means letting elements of our decor go by the wayside. Shades and blinds deliver style and function but need to be kept up to date like everything else in your home. When was the last time you bought new window treatments? If you don't know or have any of the following signs, it's time to visit the Deja Blue Home Staging & Design designers.

Signs of Damage or Breakage

Damage and breakage are not the same things. If your blinds or shades are broken, they will not operate as they should. Damaged window coverings may work fine but have unsightly stains or areas with discoloration from UV exposure. Your window treatments are an extension of your style and an example of the care you put into your home. If you wouldn't wear an outfit with holes or stains, why would you allow your windows too?

Your Utility Costs Are Rising

The price of everything increases with time, but if you notice an unusual spike in your home's heating or cooling costs, you may want to consider new window coverings. Window coverings have become more energy efficient recently, especially cellular shades. Cellular shades trap air to provide insulation unmatched by most other window coverings. If your shades are more than a few years ago, they may have worn out their welcome.

Your Needs Have Changed

Have you redecorated or changed the purpose of a room without updating the blinds? The sheer drapes that served your home office well are not the best choice for a nursery. Not only will you want blackout capability, but you also want window treatments that are not within reach of your little one when they begin to crawl and walk. Speaking of kids, updating your window treatments to ones with a cordless operation is an easy way to make your home safer for kids and pets. Dangling cords are a safety hazard; doing away with them will give your windows a more polished aesthetic.

You've Replaced Your Windows

What better time to get new window coverings than after you've replaced your windows? There's a good chance that your current shades or blinds will have dimensions that don't fit your new windows. Let our expert technicians take precise measurements of your new windows so you can outfit them in the way new windows deserve. Depending on the age of your windows, replacements may be much more energy efficient. If that's the case, adding cellular shades or wood shutters will only enhance this benefit if that's the case.
