1. Decide which room you're furnishing

Each room in your house has its own personality and purpose, so choose your window treatments accordingly. For example, if you are looking to buy shades for your kitchen, try sheer shades or light-filtering shades to let more light in. On the other hand, if you are decorating your bedroom, room darkening cellular shades are the best way to provide privacy and less light filtration. And then there's the fashion side of it. Your living room, for instance, might be the spot in your house that should pop.  

2. Understand your options

Window treatments are generally broken down into four different features: privacy, light control, energy efficiency and fashion. While most people would ideally like to find a window treatment that offers all of these features, sometimes you have to make tough choices and decide which aspects you value most. Again, these decisions are often contingent on the room you are decorating. A variety of control options are also available to operate the shade and will be part of the final decision.

3. Measure, Measure, Measure! 

Perhaps the number one mistake people make when buying window treatments is not measuring the space you are decorating. If you are especially worried about making sure your window treatments fit, hire a window coverings professional who will offer measuring and installation assistance.

4. Find out which direction your windows face

Windows facing west and south tend to receive more heat and light and, as a result, you will want to keep the room cool with a set of thicker shades, like cellular shades or Solar Screen shades which are specifically designed to diminish heat gain and control light. Windows facing east or north are easier to furnish because they aren't exposed to the same harsh conditions.
