I love my plantation shutters. They are like furniture for your windows. Mine are wooden. They last forever. Expensive up front but you can change your room many times and colors without the added expense of doing expensive window treatments each time. I love the look of them from the street view. I would think that all interior decorators would not like them - less income for them., I like the way they function also.

OMG - Thank you for "hating" blinds and shutters. Have lived in my home for 28 years. We purchased white wood blinds for the majority of our windows when we moved in. At the time, it was the trend to get wood blinds because they were such an improvement over the horrible "mini" blind craze of the 80's. Had I known what a pain they are to care for, I would not have gotten them. They are dust magnets and take too much time to clean. My husband loves them. And from some of the comments, I see that a lot of men still prefer them. Taking a chance on saying, those guys aren't the ones cleaning them. Yes, I still have those blinds and I despise them. Room by room, I'm replacing them with shades or sheers with drapery panels. Some rooms need only the sheers. Thanks for the fabulously complete tutorial on everything for windows!!

I'm 66 myself and also financially challenged. I'm grateful mom taught me to sew. I wish I'd learned carpentry, electrical, and plumbing. But there's one thing I got right. I went to the best garden center in my area and hired a landscape architect. For only 50 dollars, we talked, she measured, and a week later, she yielded a scaled diagram. She did an expert design for the entire front of my home including the recommended plants and a breakdown of what it would cost for labor and material. We negotiated. It cut their profit so low that she nearly declined proceeding. Her crew cut out the sod and laid the brick edge. They planted the ornamental trees. I did the rest myself, grading the soil, the landscape fabric, lugging home and digging in all the shrubs and other plants. Gorgeous. I studied a lot of gardening books and learned enough to know I should hire a trained professional to avoid novice and costly mistakes. I redid my mother's front landscape by the same method after my father passed. He loved those overgrown evergreens. She did not. The point is you can sometimes barter work you cannot do yourself in exchange for things you can do. Perhaps you are active in your local church community and there's an electrician with fond memories of home cooked meals. Maybe you have a craft you could sell on line that brings in enough spare income for decor.

I beg to differ with you on plantation shudders. They can solve a multitude of problems. I used them in my street facing floor length windows. This allowed me to close the bottom half to give privacy & sun protection for my furniture. The top half could be left opened at the same time for light and view. I did the same thing in my kitchen eating area was in a street facing bay window. Then I wasn't on display while eating. I solved the same privacy problem in my new home with plantation shudders. Closing the bottom half a must do for privacy and I get light through the top half and a spectacular mountain view. I can't imagine another window treatment that would have worked in these situations.

I have a beautiful extension to my house which I call the sunroom and I couldn’t figure out what type of window treatment to use but I think I’m leaning towards shades as my styling is more transitional. I’m only putting in the window treatment for privacy otherwise I would rather do without because I’m surrounded by beautiful trees. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with my patio doors as they actually occupy a whole wall! Your summary of the different treatments was concise and comprehensive, thank you.

I love the look of modern vertical shade panels for sliders. They come in fixed widths and span the entire height of the space. When open, they stack up against each other. The same company that makes your shades can make these panels. Google it for inspiration Eileen!

Vinyl roller shades would probably be my pick. Easy to clean, looks and feels like fabric, with cordless options so they don’t get tangled. Thank you for watching Ashley! 🙏🏻☺️

Thank you so much for this video I want to cry 😭 I purchased my home in March; the previous owner had not updated since decades ago so I have drawstring drapery hardware in the living room and had no idea where to begin! I love your ideas and needed this as a visual to get me started. I’ve had the paper shades up since I moved in ☹️ wish I could send you pictures for more help. Just subbed! I loved your input in this video and welcome your feedback! 💓🙏🏽

Love your video! So much information. From a manufacturers point of view, draperies traverse and are operable with cord, wand or motorization and have some type of pleated system so they expand and fold when operated. Curtains are usually stationary panels with a rod pocket. It's probably too confusing to teach a client, but designers communicating with fabricators? Terminology is important. 😃😃 Again, thanks so much for creating this video.

Thank you for posting this video. It was very informative and I learned a lot about options especially using different treatments in combination to give yourself more light control options. That said, I paid to have the wide white heavy duty plastic blinds throughout most of my new construction home - I chose it because because of the flexibility of light control (as you stated in the video) because I have a LOT of plants that have different needs and I can angle them just right to meet those needs. It also gives me the ability to see out while still hiding us from wandering eyes of neighbors walking by on the street and from the window the neighbor has next door that looks directly into our family room. When we go on vacation, it allows us to leak some light into the room so that the plants still get light but no one can see into the space. And yes, the cleaning is a headache which is my main reason for reconsidering them. However, It was not as cheap as you apparently think it looks, and it made me feel really terrible when you said it was tacky and expressed how much you hated it. (I can imagine how the folks with plantation shutters must have felt.) I had to watch the video for school (this specific video link was assigned) so unfortunately I had to hear those comments multiple times to get all the information for my assignment. If I made this video to inform and educate, knowing I had a wide, diverse audience, I would have said something like, "Although they offer the most flexibility, I'm not a fan of blinds because they are a headache to clean. In addition I think that shades make your place look more elevated and are much easier to maintain. They come in various degrees of opacity and can be layered with curtains and drapery panels to maximize light control. Sheer curtains also give you the ability to see out and let in light while giving you some measure of privacy and can also be layered with curtains, drapery panels or roller shades."

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment after watching my video Ayanna! I, of course wished I articulated this video in a less “hostile” manner after reading the comments. I didn’t mean to offend anyone from either camp, those with or without blinds/ shutters. It really came from a perspective of how I speak to my friends, which is what this channel is all about. Like you’re getting design advice from your besty who happens to design professionally 😉 May I also ask what school you attend? That’s awesome knowing that instructors are recommending my video as a resource, whether or not they agree with the information 😊

@@JulieKhuu Hi Julie! Thanks for responding and so gracefully. 💜 It's good to know that you took it into consideration. I know you will continue to make great videos with this in mind, especially now that you are being referred as a reliable educational resource! 🙌🏽 👏🏽 I attend Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte NC. It's a well established program. I am pursuing my Associates in Interior Design. It's a pretty hearty program, the same classes as a B.A. but without all the extra liberal arts courses which works well for me since I already have a BA. Before this I was an elementary music teacher. Thanks again for this video. This window treatment video will help me make up my mind about my own windows, I put the blinds up but then couldn't decide what I wanted to do next in terms of curtain type or hardware 😆 so I've been putting it off. I am looking forward to learning more from your videos. I will definitely watch some over this winter break. Happy Holidays!
