When you're thinking about redecorating and have decided on new window coverings, you'll need to choose whether you wish to purchase stock treatments, or custom window coverings. The first difference you'll notice between these two is the cost. Custom window shades are considerably more expensive than stock ones. This is because stock ones are built in a factory to a standard size made from a stock fabric. This is a good choice if you are low on funds or don't care too much about the originality of the room to be redecorated.

But what if you do want custom window coverings? Why should you bother? Isn't saving the money better? Not always. Many people and some rooms just need a made to order window treatment. This is most especially true if your windows are not of a standard size. If this is true, then you will absolutely have to get custom window treatments since otherwise nothing will fit!

With a made to order window treatment, you can pick out whichever fabric you like. Do you really want your window to match your couch? While I don't recommend that, if you know the source of your sofa's upholstery fabric than you could do that. You can get much richer fabrics this way.

One more awesome thing is you can choose the style. For example, with Roman shades, there are two folding styles, teardrop and regular. These both provide the room a different feel. You are able to combine your choice of folding type with fabric selection to get a custom window covering that no one else has.

You could also pick how the shade is going to open. Generally your choices are manual or motorized. Most people are fine with manual, but if you're looking for that little something extra, you might want to spring for the motorized.

As you can see, custom shades are the only way to go for many homeowners. Make sure to remember all of your options and speak to several experts. Almost every window treatments roman shades store has at least one expert working there who'll help you with no obligation to buy- so what can it hurt! Find pictures on the internet and look at fabrics, be sure it all will go with your current space or your planned design. Nothing is worse than purchasing custom window coverings which you will not use! Just remember because they are custom, if you do not like them you can't return them!
