HGTV Video - Kitchen Window Treatments 101

Recently ran across this great HGTV video entitled Kitchen Window Treatments 101 on YouTube  It is a great film which shows many good products  and great options  to solve various problems when decorating your windows in the kitchen.  The film also will give you ideas that can be used in other rooms in your home.

Window treatments are the finishing touch to a room, something like icing on a cake.  Unfortunately  we see many clients that have let their window coverings be their last decision when finishing a room.  However, we recommend window coverings be in the first planning stages when construction or remodeling of the home is underway.  Too many times we must tell clients that  a specific window treatment they had their heart set on will not work because they have not included the depth needed to hang the product properly in the window when the building work was underway.

In my opinion fabrics added to the window in the form of a valance, side drapery panels or working draperies are the most beautiful window treatments especially when coupled with the many wonderful shades available today.  Energy savings can also be one of  the most important benefits of using the proper window treatments.
