How to Shop for Window Shades | Easy Step-By-Step Process

After adding window shades to countless windows, I want to help demystify the process, break it down for you and help you shop for budget or custom window shades with more confidence.

Let’s take this step by step so it is clear in your head before you even go shopping.

1

ORDER SAMPLES

The importance of getting samples is equivalent to painting samples to see how they look in your room before you paint the whole room.

2

SELECT YOUR SIZE

You’ll want to plug in your custom width and height of your window, and be sure to measure for an inside or outside mount.

3

SELECT THE MATERIAL

Here is where you get to choose the color or material that the shade you are ordering comes in. Some cost more than others, which is where you can save or splurge.

4

SELECT YOUR MOUNT

You want to define inside or outside mount, as that will help specify the type of hardware they use for installation.

5

SELECT YOUR LIFT STYLE

Depending on the type of shade you are ordering you will have different options available. You may have a cordless lift option, which is always my preference, especially with kids.
