Choosing the right window treatment can feel overwhelming for both homeowners and businesses, given the wide range of options available. With so many choices, it’s often hard to know where to begin.
Selecting curtains also requires a solid understanding of fabric types, designs, and key features. This knowledge ensures that your window treatments are not only stylish but also functional.
In addition to ready-made shades, custom solutions are ideal for creating a cohesive home aesthetic and adding a personalized touch.
To make your search easier, we’ve handpicked the finest window treatments that combine beauty, practicality, and value to suit every space and budget.
Let’s explore them in detail!
Why Custom Window Treatments Are Worth It
Windows do much more than admit light, but they define the scenery of your room, the atmosphere of your space, and influence the feeling of comfort you have in your everyday home. That is why the correct window decoration is so significant.
- Maximise privacy while still allowing natural light.
- Control room temperature and improve energy efficiency.
- Eliminate screen glare and shield furniture against sun damage.
- Enhance the quality of sleep by preventing unwanted light.
Let’s explore now the most popular curtain types, their uses, and more!
Cellular Shades: Smart Choice for Any Room
Cordless cellular window shades are everywhere these days, and for good reason. Their honeycomb structure entraps air in small holes. This maintains your room at a cooler temperature during summer and a warmer temperature during winter. You would save up to 25% of heating and cooling expenses.
The cordless is a game-changer when you have kids or pets. No hanging cords translates to no safety concerns. Just push up or pull down to adjust them. They stop wherever you want.
Need total darkness? The blackout cellular shades are used to block 100% of light through a special aluminium coating. They suit the bedrooms where you need to sleep after sunrise. Or in home theatres, when not a single angle of light spoils the film.
Here's something cool: top-down, bottom-up cellular shades give you fantastic control. Lower them from the top to let sunshine in while keeping privacy at street level. Or raise them from the bottom. It's like having two shades in one.
Custom cellular shades start at just $37.99. That is compared to the big-box stores that charge $150 or higher for a similar quality. That's real savings.
Velvet Curtains: Luxurious And Chic
Velvet curtains are most commonly used in cooler regions or during cold weather, as their thick fabric helps retain warmth and adds a touch of luxury to any space. They look stunning, feel luxurious, and instantly elevate the space. The thick, three-layer fabric blocks out light, reduces noise, and helps keep your windows insulated.
Green velvet curtains are a popular choice in contemporary homes. The dark hunter green color offers elegance, richness and a sense of sophistication to living rooms. Light sage green creates a comforting and soothing ambience in bedrooms. An olive or moss velvet curtain gives an elegant and natural appearance that is fantastic in any contemporary domestic setting.
Want something bold? Navy blue or royal blue velvet curtains are very impressive. The pink velvet curtains are very warm and not too sweet.
The best part? Velvet curtains start at $29.99 per set. The same quality costs $100 to $200 in the traditional stores. When you buy direct, you skip those crazy markups.
Linen Curtains: Natural Style Made Easy
Linen brings that relaxed, organic feel to any room. The natural texture looks expensive without trying too hard.
White linen curtains pair well with almost anything. They reflect light, helping the rooms appear bigger and brighter. To achieve soft, filtered light, various types of sheer linen curtains will allow sunlight to enter while preventing nosy neighbours from seeing inside.
But here's the surprise: blackout linen curtains exist. They keep that beautiful linen texture but block 100% of light with a special coating. You also benefit from noise reduction and improved insulation. Perfect for city apartments or bedrooms near busy streets.
Custom linen curtains are available in over 10 colours, ranging from classic white to trendy sage green. At $35.99 and up, they're a steal for premium linen fabric made to your exact measurements.
Roman Shades: Clean Lines, Classic Look
The Roman shades are elegantly folded up and down to form a flat, smooth surface when closed. Their classic structure complements any interior design.
Sheer roman curtains (also called light-filtering roman shades) soften harsh sunlight. They're great for living rooms and kitchens where you want brightness without glare.
Blackout roman curtains provide total darkness. The heavy fabric prevents all light. The cordless design is kid and pet-friendly. And you can stop them at any height you want.
Custom roman curtains start at $28.99 for light filtering and $43.99 for blackout. Traditional retailers? They charge $80 to $150 for similar custom shades.
Solar Shades: Keep Sun Out
Solar shield shades are designed for sun control. They block harmful UV rays that fade your furniture and floors. But you can still see outside during the day. And people outside can't see in.
Custom solar shades, available for $32.99, are perfect for home offices. They cut glare on computer screens while protecting your view. Blackout solar shades combine UV protection with complete light blocking for ultimate flexibility.
Smart Shopping Tips
Match the room to the treatment. Bedrooms need blackout options for good sleep. Living rooms can use light-filtering styles. Bathrooms need easy-to-clean materials.
Get your measurements right. This is crucial for custom orders. An inside mount gives a built-in look. The outside mount makes windows look bigger and blocks more light. Check out the measuring windows guide before you order.
Think about energy savings. Good window treatments cut heating and cooling costs. Cellular shades, thermal velvet curtains, and blackout linen all help control temperature.
Choose cordless for safety. If you have kids or pets, cordless designs are essential. No dangling cords means no accidents.

Why Direct-to-Consumer Saves You Money
When purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you save on these extra expenses, resulting in high-quality goods at actual factory prices.
