I'm sure this has been covered before but, since styles and safety are always being updated I am starting a new thread.
We've been living with cruddy looking window treatments for 7 years. I'm ready to take the plunge into getting real window treatments on the entire 1st floor of our home, through my brother who is a rep for Hunter Douglas.
Even with his deep discount for me, we're talking a HUGE amount of money and I want to be sure I'm making the right choice.
My biggest consideration is how easy it will be for the cats to mess them up. Now, both of ours are really well behaved kitties so it isn't that I think they will tear them - it's just the usual wear that might occur with them trying to get under them to see outside.
I considered some to be motorized to hide cords but OMG SO much money
And of course I wound up picking like the most expensive fabric for them! So now I'm back to square one.
What do you all have? Rollers? Blinds? Cellulars? Cordless? Sheer/blackout?
I'm going crazy with this. We're talking 11 windows, one of which is a slider and then there's my living room window which is actually 3 big windows spanning the entire length of the room. My dining room windows are also in a set of 3, and bow shaped so not easy either. I thought it would be at most $3-4K but what I want is well over $6 so I'm NOT willing to spend that much on a house that we have no intention of retiring in - I'm expecting we'll be out of there in 10 years.
Thoughts?
