Windows Aren’t Just For Letting Light In - They Are A Statement Piece To Your Space.

So Then, How Do You Choose the Right Window Furnishings for the Right Window?

Don’t Leave It as an Afterthought!

Windows are more than just practical openings to let sunlight in; they are an essential part of your spaces aesthetic. However, we see too often than not people leave decisions in choosing the right window furnishings until the end. Choosing the right one can transform your home and bring a personalised touch.

Lets explore some of our key Pavone Pointers to consider, which can transform your windows from an afterthought to a statement piece!

Determine Your Needs

Before diving into the world of window furnishings, determine the purpose of each window. Is it meant to provide privacy, control the amount of sunlight or both? Functionality is a big determining factor and understanding what you are after. Identifying this will help narrow down your options and find the perfect fit.

Research

Know your options. Is it roller blinds, blockout, screen or roman; plantation shutters; curtains, awnings, external shutters, or a combination? Each comes with variations and benefits from natural light control to durability.

Know Your Style

Choose a style that matches you and your likes. Yes, it’s important to look good and be on-trend but isn’t it more important to be in a space that you enjoy - a reflection of your style? Whether it’s a dreamy S fold linen curtain for your lounge room paired with blockout motorised blinds; private and luxurious sheer and blockout curtains for your bedroom; versatile and classic plantation shutters for dining and wet areas or a combination of it all!

Lets also discuss fabric choice as this can make the world of difference. For a more formal setting, luxurious fabrics like velvet or silk can add a touch of elegance. In contrast, lightweight materials like linen or cotton can create an airy, casual atmosphere. Don't shy away from experimenting with textures and patterns - they can inject personality and visual interest to your window treatments.

Don’t leave it too late

Especially if you are building new or renovating. Get an expert in early to help with choosing the right style, fabrics, materials and colour. Consider durability, ease of cleaning and maintenance, neutrals so it can blend in with anything. You may want recessed tracks, motorised or manually operated window furnishings, you may want to incorporate lighting, if you want heavy drapery wall/ceiling supports need to be considered, the windows may have deep reveals and last but not least the operation of the windows and clearances (phew!!) - it all needs to be considered early on....

Not only for aesthetics but also functionality - it all needs to work!!

Energy efficiency and Light Control

Determine what type of energy values you are expecting from your window furnishings. Consider insulation and protection against UV rays and direct sunlight.

Natural light has the power to transform any ambience of any room. By selecting the right window treatment you can control the amount of light entering your space. Sheer curtains provide a soft diffused glow, while blockout curtians/blinds offer maximum darkness. Opting for adjustable options such as blinds or plantation shutters can give you the flexibility to adapt to changing lighting needs throughout the day.

Decide On Your Budget

Consider what you want to spend. There are many factors including styles, materials, sizes, operating systems and what actually can be done that affect the overall cost.
