By Kelly P. Kramer

Much like the eyes are the portal to the soul, so are the window treatments the portal of the soul of your home!

Window treatments include aluminum blinds; vinyl blinds; bamboo shades; sun control shades, and more….how do you chose what type of window treatment is right for you? With the newest window treatment designs out there, you now have a choice to create a look that doesn’t just say "Curtains". Word has it, "minimal is in". Simple treatments are replacing the heavy drapery look. The younger crowd seems to be buying window treatments with a streamlined look.

With all of the window treatments out there today, it can be a difficult time choosing what the right solution for your home can be! There are many consultants and books that recommend the best window treatments suited to your individual needs.

Below, we have given a few ideas which should help you to select the perfect window treatment for any room in your home.

First you have to decide what your window treatment will be used for? Privacy; Energy Savers or Making a Statement? Then your next decision will be Louvered or Shaded; Shutter or Blind; or Sheer window treatments. Some other suggested ideas for the streamlined window treatment look include a flap valance or an upholstered cornice.

Roman Shades, Swag, Tiebacks, Sheers - shopping for new window treatments, can be confusing. There are a bewildering array of options, and can frustrate even the most patient decorator.

We have provided some ideas for window treatments for different tastes below:

French Doors:
Sheers on doors are popular, but many people think they're too grandmotherly, frilly or old-fashioned. The key is to think of the door as a window, which happens to be in a door. Treat your doors as windows and find that perfect window treatment!

Windows with a view:
When you have a window with the view of the mountains or a golf course or even of your backyard pool, you should consider a window treatment such as a shade, that pulls up tight so there is no obstruction.

Hard to reach windows (i.e. a loft):
How about extra long cords so you can open or close your window treatments. We can provide some honeycomb shades and blinds made with a remote control.

Because of their many features, cellular shades are one of the most popular window treatments. The unique cellular construction provides excellent insulation and sound absorption; they are very durable yet extremely soft to the touch. They can create the best type of window treatment for your skylights. You can get light filtering; room darkening and even total blackout window treatments.

This is a new type of window treatment that is made to look like stained glass. These are great if you want to create window treatments for that special holiday, like Thanksgiving or Halloween. These window treatments cling to glass and other non-porous surfaces just like a vinyl decal would.
