Window Fashions for New Construction

There’s something very exciting (and certainly very stressful!) about building a new home. You get the opportunity to choose so much about the place you’ll spend years enjoying, from the type of counters and cabinets to even where outlets might be placed. Yet often, when people are building new homes, they overlook the need to get window treatments for their new windows. However, treatments are exceptionally important to the comfort and style of the home as well as for blocking UV rays that can damage furniture, artwork, and flooring. At Ross Howard Designs serving the greater Dallas area, we’ll be very happy to help you find the right window treatments for your new build. Speak with one of our representatives today!

Get the Most Out of Your Window Treatment

As you begin to think about the type of window treatments you need for each room, consider the following:

• Are your neighbors very close, or do you have some space for privacy?
• Will direct sunlight impact one or more of your rooms?
• Do you have specialty shaped windows?
• What do you need for curb appeal?
• Will you want full black-out for your bedrooms or a media room?
• Do you have small children or pets who might influence the type of treatment or lift system?

Insulate Your Windows

Adding any treatment to a window will help save money because the treatment can ward off direct sunlight, help insulate the window from the outside temperature, and keep inside air in. You might also think about getting some highly energy-efficient products to help lower your energy bills. Great options include Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Applause® Honeycomb Shades, and Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades.

Window Treatment Style

One of the most important aspects of your new window fashions is how they’ll complement your new home, especially as you figure out the style and overall aesthetic. We’ll help you choose designs, colors, and styles that can work as you change other elements of your room design.

Child and Pet Safety

At Ross Howard Designs, safety is very important. Which is why we love that Hunter Douglas offers numerous child- and pet-safe lift systems. UltraGlide® is a retractable cord system that lets you raise and lower your shades with no ugly, dangling external cords. LiteRise® is a cordless system that lets you gently raise and lower your shades with slight pressure from your hand. PowerView® motorization is the cream of the crop: a wireless operating system that can be used with a PowerView® Pebble® remote or with your mobile device or tablet, even if you’re not at home.
