Designing Your Dream Home in Beaverton or Lake Oswego? Don’t Overlook the Windows

If you’re building a new home in Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tigard, or anywhere in the Portland metro—congratulations! There’s nothing like creating a space that’s entirely your own.

But as exciting as it is, building a home means making hundreds of decisions—sometimes under pressure. And by the time the builder asks what kind of window coverings you want, it’s easy to think, “Let’s just get something simple and deal with it later.”

Here’s why we at Budget Blinds of Beaverton and Lake Oswego want to gently encourage you not to treat your window coverings like an afterthought.

Window Coverings Aren’t Just About Privacy. They’re About Living Well.

In the Pacific Northwest, our homes are shaped by shifting light, seasonal weather, and the need for versatile indoor spaces. Window coverings play a huge role in how your home feels and functions from day one.

They can:

• Soften bright sunlight in your south-facing kitchen or family room

• Provide room-darkening comfort in bedrooms (great for sleeping in on gray mornings)

• Block UV rays that fade wood floors or furnishings

• Help insulate your home from both summer heat and winter chill

• Add texture, warmth, and character to clean-lined new construction

Whether you’re drawn to sleek roller shades, timeless shutters, layered drapery, or motorized solutions, the right window treatments enhance both the comfort and style of your new home.

Thinking of Just Going Basic? Here’s What to Consider First.

We understand that new construction often comes with budget fatigue. But there’s a big difference between basic blinds and thoughtfully chosen window coverings that work for your space and lifestyle.

Here’s what we want you to know:

• Builder-grade isn’t your only option. We offer curated, design-forward solutions at every price point.

• Cordless and motorized options are safer and cleaner looking—ideal for homes with kids or pets.

• Custom coverings actually fit your windows—no awkward gaps or clunky stacks.

• Stylish choices add long-term value and make your home feel truly finished, not staged.

And maybe most importantly…

The Earlier You Plan, the Better Your Outcome

It’s tempting to wait, but planning ahead gives you more flexibility and better results:

• You can budget and prioritize—splurging in key spaces and saving in others

• If you’re considering motorized shades, we’ll coordinate with your builder’s electrician before drywall is up to run wiring

• We wait to measure until trim and paint are done, ensuring a perfect fit

• Custom coverings typically take 4–6 weeks to arrive, so starting early helps you move in with everything complete

Imagine stepping into your new home—and every window is already finished, beautifully framed, and functional from the start. That’s the experience we help create.
