Step 1: Initial Phone ConsultationThe process usually begins with a phone call or website inquiry. During this conversation, owners and designers Brittainy and Theressa gather a general idea of what you are looking for, which rooms are being updated, and what goals you have for the space.
This first conversation helps prepare for the in-home consultation and gives them a better understanding of the style, functionality, and overall direction you may want to explore.
Step 2: In-Home Walkthrough & Design DiscussionOnce inside the home, the consultation starts with a walkthrough of the rooms that need window coverings. Rather than immediately focusing on samples, the first priority is understanding the overall feel and design of the space.
This may include discussing:● Paint colors and finishes● Existing décor and furniture● Lighting throughout the home● Privacy needs● Inspiration photos● Design goals for new construction homes
Understanding how each room functions helps determine which window treatments may work best for the space.
Step 3: Exploring Window Treatment OptionsAfter getting a feel for the home, the focus shifts to selecting the right window treatment styles for each room.
Some rooms may benefit from:● More natural light● Additional privacy● Energy efficiency● Softer design elements with drapery● Blackout options for bedrooms● Motorized or cordless operation
Recommendations are tailored to both your design style and how the room is used day to day.
Step 4: Comparing Samples in Your HomeOne of the biggest advantages of an in-home consultation is being able to see materials and colors directly in your space.
Samples are placed against your home’s:● Walls● Flooring● Cabinets● Furniture● Trim and paint colors
This allows you to compare fabrics, textures, colors, and finishes in your actual lighting conditions instead of trying to imagine them from a showroom display.
Step 5: Measuring the WindowsWhile you take time to review samples and narrow down your favorites, measurements are taken throughout the home.
This part of the process also gives you a little time to step back, visualize the finished space, and feel confident about your selections without pressure.
Step 6: Finalizing Functional FeaturesAfter colors and materials are selected, the final details are discussed.
The goal is to make sure the window treatments not only look beautiful but also function well for everyday life.
Step 7: Receiving Your EstimateOnce all selections and measurements are complete, Boise Designer Blinds prepares a detailed estimate for the project.
You’ll receive a full breakdown of your selected window treatments, and you can take your time to review everything before moving forward.
