Why Custom Window Treatments Are the Finishing Touch Your Home Deserves
There are a lot of specific questions and considerations when it comes to custom window treatments, especially with the changing seasons in Central Iowa.
In summer, you want to block heat and light. In winter, you need insulation. And all year round, you want a home that feels complete, polished, and personal.
Let’s talk about how custom window fashions can bring it all together.

Why Go Custom? The Practical Benefits
Custom window treatments may seem like a luxury, but they solve everyday problems in practical ways:
Perfect Fit
Custom treatments eliminate awkward gaps, sagging edges, and “almost fits.” Ideal for patio doors, bay windows, and arched frames.
Function Meets Style
They do more than look good. With custom window treatments, you get:
-
Light control
-
Improved insulation
-
Energy savings
-
Sound absorption
Privacy Without Sacrificing Light
Layered treatments — like sheer shades with heavier drapes — offer flexibility. You can keep your privacy without darkening the whole room.
Family and Pet-Friendly Options
Cordless blinds and motorized shades are safer for households with children or pets.
Common Questions About Window Treatments
What can I put on my windows instead of curtains?
Custom Roman shades, woven wood blinds, or roller shades can all be tailored to match your style, without needing traditional curtains.
Is it okay to just have blinds without curtains?
Absolutely. When done well, blinds alone can look modern and intentional. Especially when custom-fitted to your space.
What can I use instead of curtains for patio doors?
Options include vertical cellular shades, panel track blinds, or even custom drapes on gliding rods—perfect for frequent use.
How often do people change window treatments?
Every 7–10 years or whenever you do a major home refresh. Custom window fashions offer timeless appeal, so you won’t feel dated a year later.
Trending vs. Timeless: Finding Your Look
What’s the newest trend in window coverings?
Some of the most stylish window fashions in 2025 include:
-
Natural textures like bamboo and linen
-
Motorized shades with app control
-
Layered designs (like sheer + blackout)
-
Warm, earthy tones
What window treatments never go out of style?
Plantation shutters, tailored Roman shades, and neutral-tone drapery have stood the test of time.
Should window treatments be the same throughout the house?
Not necessarily. Instead of uniformity, aim for visual flow.
Bedrooms may need room-darkening features, while kitchens can stay light and airy.

Why Custom Window Fashions Pull Everything Together
Think of window treatments like the jewelry of interior design. You wouldn’t wear a great outfit without accessories, right? Similarly, a beautiful living room with bare windows can feel unfinished.
Window fashions add:
-
Warmth
-
Texture
-
Softness
-
Balance to hard flooring or bold wall colors
Whether you’ve chosen hardwood, tile, or LVP from Royal Flooring, a custom shade or panel can elevate the space instantly.
