Before You Buy Window Treatments: What Every Homeowner Needs to Know

<p>Hi everyone and welcome back to Home Design Chat with Nancy where we talk about the things that make a home look great --but also make it work better.</p><p>Today we are talking about something that can completely change the look and feel of a room, yet is often one of the last things homeowners think about: window treatments.  And when I say window treatments, I&#39;m talking about a lot more than curtains.</p><p>My guest today is Jack Kim, the owner of Arizona Blinds Company in Phoenix, Arizona. Jack knows window treatments inside and out.</p><p>We&#39;re going to take a close look at the choices homeowners have, the pros and cons of each, and what you really need to know before you buy.</p><p>We&#39;re also going to talk about something I think is especially important: window treatments aren&#39;t just about how a window looks. They can affect privacy, light, energy efficiency, comfort, and even how functional a room is.</p><p>I think we&#39;re going to discover that there is a lot more to choosing a window covering than walking into a store and saying, &quot;I like that one!&quot;</p><p>Our topics will include: </p><ul><li>Common types of window coverings and the benefits of each. </li><li>Custom vs ready-made window treatments </li><li>Light and privacy</li><li>Layering window treatments</li><li>Motorization</li></ul><p>There is so much more we wanted to talk about that time did not allow us to cover, so we are going to continue this subject in a few weeks.  </p><p>Subscribe to Home Design Chat with Nancy so you don&#39;t miss everything about design especially if you are remodeling or building new.</p><p>If you have any questions for Jack or me, email me at Nancy@nancyhugo.com</p><p>If you want to learn more about me, go to <a href="http://nancyhugo.com/">⁠NancyHugo.com⁠</a> </p><p>You will find<a href="https://designerscirclehq.com/"> </a><strong>DesignersCircleHQ.com</strong> on my website or you can bookmark it since it is a website.
