How to Choose the Perfect Cloth Shades for Your Window

Are you looking to spruce up the look of your windows? Choosing the perfect cloth shades can make all the difference. From light filtering to room darkening fabrics, there are a variety of options available that can add a stylish and functional touch to any room. Whether you’re decorating for functionality or style, understanding how fabric plays into window treatments is key when it comes to making an informed decision on what type of shade best suits your needs. In this article, we'll explore some tips on how to choose the perfect cloth shades for window!

The first thing you should consider is what type of fabric best serves your needs. For example, if you want to be able to control how much light enters a room, then it may be wise to opt for fabrics that are designed specifically for this purpose. Light filtering fabrics allow some light in while blocking out UV rays and still providing privacy. Room darkening fabrics, on the other hand, block out all light and provide total darkness. So depending on your needs, one type of fabric may suit you better than the other. 


When it comes to color and pattern choices, there are no hard and fast rules or regulations – it’s really up to personal preference as long as it fits with the look and feel of your space. Cloth shades come in a variety of colors, patterns and textures so you can find something to match any decor. You may even want to consider coordinating fabric treatments with your furniture or other window treatments for a cohesive look.


If you’re looking for something that is a bit more unique, consider the option of customizing your cloth shades. With this option, you can choose from countless colors and patterns to create the perfect look for your windows. Additionally, you can have them made to fit any size window – making it easy to find an ideal solution for any style or décor. 


When selecting fabrics for your window treatments, be sure to also check out the quality of materials available. Quality fabrics will last longer and provide better insulation benefits than lower quality materials. When shopping around, take some time to read product reviews and compare different brands so you get the best bang for your buck.


Finally, it’s important to measure your windows properly so that your shades fit snugly and look their best. Measure the width of the window opening at least three times and always round down to the nearest half inch when providing measurements for shade manufacturers. Taking accurate measurements is key to ensuring that you get a perfect fit every time. 


Choosing the right cloth shades for your windows doesn’t have to be an overwhelming process. By taking into account factors such as fabric type, color, pattern, quality and proper measurement – you can create window treatments that add both style and functionality to any room in your home. So take some time to explore all of your options and find something that speaks to you! You won’t regret it.

When Window Treatments Should Be Planned in a Custom Build

By Sammie Bailey • March 9, 2026
In a custom home, the best results come from thoughtful planning. The more details that are considered early in the build, the more seamless the final space feels.  Window treatments are one of those details that often get pushed to the end of the project. By the time they’re discussed, drywall is up, electrical is finished, and architectural opportunities have already passed. However, when window treatments are considered during the design and construction phases, builders and designers gain far more flexibility—and the finished result integrates much more naturally with the home. Here are three elements that benefit most from early planning.

Why Motorized Shades Are Now the Standard in High-End Homes

By Sammie Bailey • March 3, 2026
In today’s well-designed homes, motorized shades are no longer considered an upgrade. They are expected.  Across Park City, Northern Utah, and St. George, we’re seeing a consistent shift in how window treatments are planned and specified. In homes valued at $1.5M and above, automation is no longer an afterthought — it’s part of the architectural conversation from the outset. As residential design continues to evolve, so do expectations surrounding comfort, performance, and integration. Motorized window treatments now sit at the intersection of all three.
