Enhance Your Home’s Value with Custom Drapery — How?

Whether you are actively looking to sell your home or you are simply playing around with the idea of putting it on the market, you no doubt are interested in things you can do to get the best deal possible. One thing that often gets overlooked is window treatments! Custom drapery or other window coverings can do a surprising amount when it comes to attracting buyers in the DFW area and adding value. How is that the case, and how can you choose the right window coverings to appeal to the housing market? This blog post provides helpful information.

Why Window Treatments Matter

At a glance, window treatments might not seem like a big deal, but they are! Imagine walking into a home with stained plastic blinds, poorly fitting curtains, or window treatments that do not blend in with the surrounding décor. No doubt, you would feel put off.

In contrast, custom window treatments can enhance the home’s beauty and create a welcoming atmosphere. Plus, if your home has very large or odd-shaped windows, custom treatments can appeal to buyers because they represent one less item on their to-do list if they purchase the house.

How to Choose the Right Window Treatments for Resale Value

Here are some tips to keep in mind as you select window treatments with the goal of enhancing your home’s value:

• Consider functionality.  Privacy, light control, and energy efficiency all matter to homebuyers. For example, you might choose blackout drapes for the bedrooms. For main living spaces, cellular shades can provide a balance between natural lighting and energy efficiency.
• Think about ease of maintenance. Do you have a spacious home that would be great for a family? Window treatments that are easy to clean and maintain would be a better choice than more delicate options. For example, plantation shutters are beautiful and easy to keep clean through regular dusting.
• Focus on aesthetics with wide appeal. Quirky and dramatic patterns can be fun and beautiful, but they do not suit everyone’s taste. Rather, neutral colors and subtle patterns can help buyers as they envision making a home their own.
• Think about upgrading to motorized options. Motorized drapes, blinds, and shades can be a big selling point, especially for families who value privacy, convenience, and technology.
• Go for a cohesive look. Even if you have different types of window treatments in different rooms, the home should have a unified feel, perhaps through color scheme or other elements.

Window treatments are surprisingly powerful! Talk to an expert to get ideas on how to outfit your home’s windows in order to maximize its value.
