How to choose
Choosing window treatments for an Ypsilanti home
Start with what each room needs. A bedroom near a streetlight or a busy street needs darkness. A bathroom needs privacy and a material that can handle steam. A front parlor close to the sidewalk needs privacy without losing daylight, and a cold room with original single-pane windows needs a little insulation.
Then consider the house itself. Ypsilanti’s historic homes have tall, narrow double-hungs, bay windows, transoms and openings that may be slightly out of square, plus original trim many owners want to keep visible. Bungalows and foursquares bring deep sills, while mid-century ranches and newer homes in the township have picture windows and sliders. Lofts and condos downtown and in Depot Town have big street-facing glass. Each of those calls for different products and mounting choices.
At your free shop-at-home appointment, we walk through every room, show you full-size samples in your own light, measure the windows and give you an itemized quote on the spot. The guide below is a good place to begin.

Request In-Home ConsultationQuestions about choosing window treatments
Common questions from Ypsilanti homeowners comparing blinds, shades and shutters.
What works best on the tall windows in Ypsilanti’s Victorian homes?
Shutters, cellular shades, roman shades and window shadings all suit tall windows. For very tall openings, motorized shades such as Hunter Douglas PowerView® make them easy to operate. We measure each window at several points.
How do I keep my original trim visible?
Choose products that mount inside the frame, such as cellular shades, roller shades, mini blinds and many roman shades. Older windows often have enough depth for a clean inside mount; we’ll check each one.
What is the most energy-efficient window treatment?
Cellular (honeycomb) shades are generally the most insulating because the honeycomb pockets trap air against the glass. Shutters and lined roman shades also add a layer at cold windows.
What is best for a bathroom?
Faux wood blinds and composite shutters, such as Norman Woodlore®, handle humidity well.
Which window treatments are safest for kids and pets?
Cordless and motorized products remove dangling cords, and shutters have no lift cords at all. Norman also offers products certified Best for Kids™.
How much do custom window treatments cost?
It depends on the product, the size and number of windows, and the options you choose. That’s why we measure and give you an itemized quote on the spot, free and with no obligation.
