Plan from the window inward
Measurements, fabric openness, mounting, pockets, and power are interconnected decisions. The best time to plan concealed details is before the surrounding finishes are complete.
Before you decide
Discuss independent and grouped control, time-based scenes, and integration with lighting. Confirm exact window dimensions and finish requirements before the final order.
Separate daylight control from privacy
A fabric chosen to soften glare may not provide the privacy or darkness you want at night. Discuss each room’s purpose and compare samples under the relevant lighting conditions. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms may need different solutions. Review side gaps, mounting depth, and how the shade looks when raised before approving the final window schedule.
Decide how shades should move together
You may want one control for a group of living-room windows and independent control in bedrooms. Describe the desired behavior before programming scenes or schedules. Confirm how local controls work and what happens when a room needs a temporary change. For new construction, coordinate power and concealed pockets early; for existing homes, assess available mounting space and access first.
