Whether you are furnishing your home or your business, there are a number of factors that go into choosing the right curtains and blinds.

Although your Auckland Curtains and Blinds representative will help you sort through your options, it is still a good idea to know what you want before you call.

This can be particularly useful if you plan on ordering custom curtains because custom options are nearly endless.

Auckland specializes in manufacturing their own product and can guarantee that you get exactly what you want, regardless of the size, shape or colour that you need.

Auckland Curtains: Measuring Your Windows

If you want to ensure that your curtains are ordered to the correct size, it is important to make sure that you properly measure your windows. You will need to measure the full width and the full height of the window opening. Make sure that you include the frame in your measurements. It is a common mistake to measure only the glass.

The width of the blinds you order will also be affected by whether you choose an inside mount or an outside mount. An inside mount fits within the walls of the window opening. An outside mount, on the other hand, is attached to the outer sides of the opening.

This means that the fixture must be wider than your window in order to attach properly. It is also important to measure every window you will be dressing, even if they all look to be the same size. Each window can be slightly different, and Auckland Curtains can make sure that your blinds are custom made to fit.

The Aesthetics of Auckland Curtains

Aside from the technical aspects of choosing curtains and blinds, you should also have an idea of the aesthetic look you are going for. If you are furnishing an office building, chances are that you want a more subtle look that includes elements such as lightly-textured fabrics and solid colours.

If you are furnishing your home on the other hand, you may want to find inspiration in your current decor. Choose a colour from a favourite painting or carpet that you want to highlight. No matter what your desired look, however, Auckland Curtains and Blinds will help you achieve it.
