To give you an idea of window treatments, let’s know about some basics first. If you have some basic window treatment ideas, you can participate with your interior designer and can better decide on the treatment type as per your needs and likings. Window treatments can be classified into hard treatments and soft treatments. The main function of the hard treatment is to take care of the functional requirements. Examples of hard treatments are shutters, blinds and shades. They fulfill some purpose and also add on to the styling value. They are designed and selected as per the specific needs, e.g. to allow or restrict natural light, provide privacy or even allow access to the outside, etc. Soft treatments provide aesthetics and styling and also serve to the functional requirements. At the same time, you can easily dismantle them for cleaning or storing. All the fabric made treatments like window curtains, draperies and soft shades are examples of soft treatments. In most of the cases, you need to combine the two to get the best results. If perfectly blended, these can do wonders for your home, office or commercial complexes. Décor has more than 30 years of experience in both type of treatments and we can create designs which are both functional and great looking.

They are made of a variety of materials like fabric, vinyl, wood, honeycomb, bamboo, etc. They are also very flexible in allowing the lights inside the room.
