Picking the perfect custom window treatments for your home or office should be fun, but with so many options to choose from, it can sometimes be overwhelming. Here are a few helpful tips to consider when picking your perfect window coverings.

Do you need them to cover the entire window or will partial coverage suffice. Maybe you want to keep the heat out or in. And remember to consider the view too!
2) Style. From swags to drapes or shades to sheers, the style of your window treatment depends on many of the factors mentioned above. Swags are often decorative while drapes can keep out the sun.

3) Fabric. Solids or prints, textured or not, the fabric you pick for your custom window treatments are sure to reflect your personal taste and style.

A contrast lining is when a drapery fabric is used in place of a standard white or ivory drapery lining to line all or part of a window treatment, typically a valance or top treatment.
Contrast lining is a complementary fabric to the main face fabric, whereas self lining means you use the same fabric as the main face fabric for the lining as well.
It is used to enhance the appearance and give a custom look to the window treatment that would otherwise allow the standard drapery lining to show, thus inhibiting the appearance.
