Why You Should Hire a Professional for Window Treatments
When people think about finishing a room, they usually focus on the big pieces — the sofa, the rug, the lighting.
But there’s one design element that quietly transforms everything:
Window treatments.
Professionally designed window treatments don’t just cover windows — they elevate the entire space. They add softness, dimension, privacy, light control, and polish. Without them, even a beautifully furnished room can feel incomplete.
At House Sprucing, we believe window treatments are one of the most important finishing layers in a well-designed home — and one of the most overlooked.
Let’s talk about why hiring a professional makes all the difference.
Window Treatments Are Not One-Size-Fits-All
Custom window treatments are about more than picking a fabric you like.
A professional designer considers:
Ceiling height
Window scale and proportion
Wall color and trim
Furniture placement
Natural light direction
Privacy needs
Functionality (blackout, motorized, layered, etc.)
The wrong length, width, or mounting height can instantly throw off the balance of a room. Curtains that are too short, rods that are hung too low, or shades that don’t fit properly make a space feel unfinished.
When designed correctly, window treatments can:
Make ceilings look taller
Make windows appear larger
Add architectural interest
Create softness in modern spaces
Frame your view beautifully
Professional installation ensures everything is measured, fabricated, and mounted correctly the first time.
They Complete the Layered Look
A fully furnished room is about layers:
Upholstery
Rugs
Lighting
Textures
Art
Accessories
And yes — window treatments
Without them, rooms can feel stark or flat.
Imagine a living room with gorgeous furniture but bare windows. It often feels echoey, unfinished, or slightly cold. Add custom drapery or tailored shades, and suddenly the space feels intentional and elevated.
Function Matters Just as Much as Style
Professional window treatment design isn’t just about appearance — it’s about how you live.
Do you need:
Blackout panels in the primary bedroom?
UV protection for hardwood floors?
Motorized shades for tall or hard-to-reach windows?
Privacy for street-facing rooms?
Layered treatments for flexibility throughout the day?
Every home and every room has different needs. A professional ensures you get the right solution, not just the prettiest one.
Custom vs. Store-Bought
Ready-made curtains may seem convenient, but they rarely provide the tailored look that elevates a home.
Custom window treatments offer:
Proper fullness and pleating
High-quality fabrics
Exact measurements
Professional hardware
Cohesive design with the rest of the furnishings
The result is a room that feels intentional — not improvised.
At House Sprucing, we integrate window treatments into your overall furnishing plan so everything works together seamlessly.
Finish Your Home the Right Way
A beautifully furnished room isn’t just about what sits on the floor — it’s about what frames the space.
Window treatments soften, elevate, and complete your home. They add that subtle, polished layer that makes everything feel intentional and refined.
