What is a Window Treatment Consultation?
Preparation and planning are the big differentiators between a project outcome that is “good enough” and one that exceeds expectations. This fact is true for personal projects, professional projects, and, of course, home improvement and interior design projects!
As a homeowner, you would have a landscaper or general contractor see your space and consult with you before they get to work and make changes to your home. Similarly, it’s crucial to consider the benefits of window treatment consultations before ordering custom soft furnishings such as drapes and Roman shades. Keep reading to learn more about the value of the consultation process, what to expect, and The Pinched pleat’s approach to consultations.
Is a Consultation Worth It?
If you have a strong sense of style and want your home to reflect what you envision in your mind’s eye, getting a window treatment consultation is more than worth it. If you tend toward perfectionism and get disappointed when outcomes don’t match your expectations, the consultation process will put you at ease.
This process allows you to get to know your window treatment specialist and have a steady back-and-forth about your likes and dislikes instead of sharing a few of your preferences and hoping for the best. Additionally, consultations ensure that treatments will be the perfect fit every time.
Do you have trouble visualizing? At the Pinched Pleat, we use information from the consultation session to develop our design plan and create accurate renderings of the treatment in your home. If you value feeling certain, a consultation and design rendering combo will give you confidence during decision-making.
What to Expect During a Window Treatment Consultation
The primary purpose of a consultation is to learn about you and your stylistic vision, but it’s also the perfect time to get some logistical details out of the way. Here’s a basic overview of what to expect during a window treatment consultation with a specialist:
Our Consultation Model
When you order custom window treatments from The Pinched Pleat, a consultation is fundamental. The price of our hour-long consultation and the design renderings we develop afterward are included in the cost of your custom window treatment.
We also offer consultations, design planning, and renderings as à la carte services, which could be a good option for homeowners who want expert advice but are not ready to make final decisions.
We offer two kinds of consultations, at-home and virtual, to accommodate your preferences and make them more accessible to everyone.
Set Up a Consultation
We love learning about your unique preferences and style and helping you envision your space as a backdrop for beautifully crafted soft furnishings.
We’re ready to show up with our measuring tapes, extensive window treatment knowledge, and design experience! If you’re ready, too, contact us today by scheduling a time with us or reaching out to us at hello@thepinchedpleat.com.
