Purchasing a new home is a thrilling experience, but amidst the flurry of positive emotions there is the added stress of creating a comfortable living space on a budget. Window treatments, like appliances, furniture, and lighting, typically have a predetermined budget for each homeowner. Our experts can assist you in selecting the ideal shades and options for your home and budget.
Do not hesitate to disclose your budget
Often, customers are hesitant to reveal this information, fearing they may be presented with a lower-quality product. However, our design consultants are trained to work within your budget. Simply provide them with rough estimates of your window sizes, and they will offer quotes on various products in different price ranges. This way, you can determine how much you want to invest not only in your home but also in each individual room. Visit our showroom, and our trained design consultants will assist you in narrowing down your choices with their expertise.
Plan and Prioritize Your Rooms
Once you have established a budget for your project, it is essential to devise a strategic plan. Our showroom offers a range of products that can cover an entire house without exceeding your budget, while still maintaining a beautiful, polished appearance. Alternatively, it is important to determine which rooms are of utmost importance to you. Some customers may prioritize living areas to impress guests, while others may prioritize their master bedroom as a personal sanctuary. Regardless of the room, it is crucial to focus on the priority area first. Investing in the priority room while keeping other rooms within a lower budget can help achieve the overall project cost.
Consider the Requirements of Each Room
Various requirements may influence your selection of products. For instance, if you require blackout shades for a specific room, such as a bedroom, and have a limited budget, you may be inclined towards roller shades or other cost-effective window treatments that darken the room. However, if you do not require blackout or room-darkening shades in a bedroom, there may be alternative options available to you. Additionally, you may have a room with exceptionally large windows or windows in a damp or humid area, such as a bathroom or basement with inadequate ventilation. We can assist you in navigating all your unique requirements while staying within your budget.
Lastly, DIY Installation
An alternative method to save on costs is to undertake the installation yourself or enlist the assistance of a capable friend or family member. The inclusion of labour expenses can significantly increase the overall expenditure, particularly when dealing with many windows. It is highly recommended that our professionals conduct the measurements for a nominal fee. However, once the measurements have been taken, most products are relatively straightforward to install. This approach can result in cost savings that can be allocated toward the window treatments.
In general, it is advisable to determine a comfortable budget for the entire project. It is important not to become overwhelmed by the process and to tackle one room and window at a time. Prioritize the rooms that require immediate attention and focus on them first. Once this has been accomplished, assess the remaining budget, and consider alternative options to ensure that the total project cost is within reach. Our design consultants are available to provide guidance and support throughout the process. Ultimately, regardless of the budget, you will receive a high-quality blind at a price point that suits your needs.
