Inviting someone into your home can be nerve wracking. But if you want to get the job done right, a design consult is exactly what you need. As professionals, we can walk you through the process and show you the ways a consultation will benefit your project. From expert advice and professional measurements, to browsing fabrics in the comfort of your own home, the shop-at-home experience is the best way to complete a window covering project. This guide will help you understand the details of our visit.
Tell Us Your Story
We want to hear all the details. What do you love about your home? Is it the view or natural light? What do you struggle with? Would privacy or room darkening help make your home feel more comfortable? Window coverings are the key to creating the perfect environment. The more we know about the challenges you face, the better we can address your needs during the design consult. Whether you’re covering bare windows for the first time or updating your current treatments, the more we learn the better.
Invite Us In
No need to make a fuss, we all have dishes in the sink and laundry waiting to be folded. Our designers are regular people, only there to help improve your space–no judgment. During the design consult, we’ll walk around, take professional measurements of every window and compile a list of ideas. This way, if you decide to add to your initial project, we’ll be prepared with all the information we need.
Browse the Fabrics
This is when the fun begins. During the design consult, while our window covering specialist are busy taking measurements you can start dreaming. Browse through our products and fabric samples; touch them, hold them up to the light, consider color and opacity. An in-home consult is the optimal way to begin such an important project.
Our Advice
We do more than measurements and installments–we offer expert advice. Our specialists at California Window Fashions have been part of thousands of window projects and have seen it all. There’s so much more to choosing window treatments than meets the eye. We consider window direction, home layout, privacy, fabric choice and functionality when planning. We can anticipate your needs and suggest added features that will serve your lifestyle. Our goal is to provide you with the best look and the best function–at the best value. If you have a tricky window situation, we will rise to the challenge.
The Proposal
Once the design consult is complete, the quote for your window coverings is quickly provided. The timing depends upon the scale and specifics of your project. It’s important to review the quote while everything is fresh in your mind. When it comes to investing in a home project, we know cost is an important factor. The good news is that fabrics and features are customizable to fit your budget. From there, we’ll evaluate your proposal together to see where changes may need to be made, another benefit of hiring a professional.
