When shopping for window treatments, picking one type of product from the number of available products can be quite a challenge. To help you make the right choices, relying on the assistance of a professional is the apt thing to do.

A window treatment consultant will consider many factors like temperature, humidity and also your sense of aesthetics while deciding on window coverings for you and help you make the best choice. However, finding the right professional to install the treatments can pose another challenge.

To help make your search for a professional easier, here’s a list of five things to look for in a window covering and decorating consultant.

1. Experience.

The first thing that you should check is how much experience a window coverings decorating consultant has. If they are experienced, they will be able to understand the practical and aesthetic aspects of a product, which will help you in making the right choice. Experience will also assist them in finding the best window coverings for you considering several factors like temperature, humidity, etc.

2. Product Assortment.

When you interview a decorator, you need to check whether they have a selection of window covering programs, which can handle a challenge from specialty applications, for example, arched windows. Moreover, they should have a product at a price point to meet your budget. If a decorator tries to sell you a product more expensive than your budget, then they are not the decorator for you.

3. Education.

We will also advise you to check if a decorator has training from accredited schools to understand the background and technical parameters of interior decorating and design. There are a lot of decorators out there, who can sell you aesthetically pleasing window coverings. However, only an educated decorator will be able to suggest window coverings, which will suit your house in the long run.

4. Installation and support teams.

There are decorators, who have manufacturers and installation teams with them to handle the execution of the program. In such cases, they will be able to do the job end-to-end. If a decorator suggests a particular kind of window covering, they will ensure that they will be able to get it for you. On the other hand, if a consultant doesn’t have installation and support teams, they may not be able to find a supplier of a certain window covering for you.

5. Location.

You also need to check whether a decorator has lived and worked in the location to understand the expectations of a client in creating a lifestyle statement that is compatible with the environment. For example, a decorator settled in an urban area may not work in a lake home in Muskoka.
