Winter is officially here in Chattanooga and the only thing I want to do is cozy up in my home. Feel like hibernating through the cold weather, too? The best sleep starts with the best environment — and that can only be achieved through custom window treatments providing total blackout solutions.
Creating the Perfect Sleep Sanctuary
With any luxury home, basic darkness solutions with off-the-shelf treatments just don’t cut it. Your home demands a sophisticated sleep environment with custom window treatments to create a true sanctuary. Any designer will tell you that creating the perfect primary suite goes beyond aesthetics — it’s all about integrating effective light control solutions.
Simply hanging drapes isn’t enough; they need to be custom-crafted to provide the ideal level of light management for your space. Not only does thoughtful sleep environment design elevate the comfort and livability of premium homes, but it can also boost your home’s market value.
Layered Light Control
So, how do you create the perfect sleep environment with window coverings? It’s simple: layered treatments. They effortlessly add depth, texture, and functionality to a room to create total blackout solutions. When you pair hard treatments or shades with custom drapery with a blackout liner you’re creating two layers of darkness (and elegance) — the hard treatment to partially block out light and the blackout-lined drapery to fully block it out and prevent light leaks around the sides.
But then, what about the top of the window? That’s where the third layer, a custom cornice or valance, comes in. Not only do they assist in creating darkness, but they complete the high-end, polished look while hiding the mechanical components. Want to take it a step further? Motorized treatments add convenience and sophistication to any window treatment combination.
What to Watch Out For
While layering treatments may seem simple, they often require an experienced design professional to execute. Strategic layering is key here, and ensuring you have the right treatments layered is vital to creating a sleep sanctuary.
A design professional can help you understand the difference between blackout or room-darkening liners and what your space really needs. They’ll also ensure proper mounting and measurement to prevent light leaks – from top treatments to side returns for extra coverage. We cannot stress enough how important it is to have professional installers for unusual windows and to ensure complete coverage.
Beyond the Bedroom
Total blackout solutions aren’t just for the bedroom, your dedicated home theater also demands precision light control for optimal viewing. Custom window treatments can transform any room from a bright entertainment space to cinema-quality viewing. A design professional can even help you navigate challenging spaces, acoustic benefits, and seamlessly integrate your blackout solutions with home theater control systems.
Creating Lasting Value in Your Home
Quality materials and craftsmanship are vital to ensuring lasting performance. Off-the-shelf treatments simply don’t contain the quality to last or provide true blackout solutions. Custom window treatments are a time-tested investment, not only for your use, but for your home’s future resale value. Not to mention the potential energy savings from proper window insulation in large homes for both heating and cooling.
