It’s always a good time to equip your home in Portland, OR with replacement windows if the ones you have currently are no longer doing the job. But after you invest your hard-earned money to upgrade your windows, should you use your existing window coverings or buy new ones? What you decide is up to you, but here’s a look at your options for window coverings for your new replacement windows.

Curtains and Drapes

If you’d rather go with curtains or drapes, you might want to simply use the ones you already have. They can, after all, be washed and cleaned if they get dirty or dusty. So if you simply like the look of curtains or drapes and find that the ones you have are in good repair, you can reuse them. Otherwise, you can go to a window covering shop and find something you like

Blinds

One of the reasons blinds are so popular is that they’re available in all sorts of styles and colors. They’re also relatively inexpensive, which means you can typically buy all the blinds you need in a single transaction. You can get vertical blinds, horizontal blinds, mini blinds, and more. And they’re easy to install if you’re the DIY type. The same can’t be said when it comes to installing replacement windows. It’s best to leave the replacement window installation to the experts.

Shutters

If you’re looking for the perfect window covering for your replacement windows, you can’t lose with shutters. They’re usually more expensive than other types of window coverings, but there’s a reason for that. Whether you get your shutters in faux wood, real wood, or some other type, you can bet that they will increase curb appeal and boost the valuation of your residence.

Shades

There are all sorts of shades, such as roller shades, roman shades, and cellular shades. Roller shades are the most cost-effective and are available in various styles and fabrics. They are easy to use and require little by the way of maintenance. Roman shades come with their trademark overlapping folds that make for a more elegant and upscale look compared to roller shades. They are available in various fabric types, and many of them are machine washable. Cellular shades have multiple fabric layers, which give these shades insulation properties.
