Building a New Home in the Treasure Valley? Here’s What We Want You to Know About Window Coverings

If you’re building a home in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Kuna, or anywhere across the Treasure Valley, first of all, congratulations! We know how exciting (and overwhelming) bringing your dream home to life can be.

We also know that by the time your builder or contractor asks, “What kind of blinds do you want?” your brain might already be fried from choosing paint colors, flooring, countertops, cabinet hardware, and every other detail. It’s tempting to say “whatever’s cheapest” and move on.

But we want you to know that window coverings are not just one more box to check. They’re one of the most important decisions you can make for your home’s comfort, efficiency, and style.

Blinds? Shades? Drapes? Do I Really Need to Think About This Now?

Yes—and here’s why:

• Window coverings impact how your home feels and functions from the moment you move in. They control privacy, temperature, light, and overall mood.

• Energy-efficient window treatments can save you money on heating and cooling—especially during hot Treasure Valley summers and chilly winters.

• Cordless and motorized options are safer, easier to use, and cleaner-looking—ideal for homes with children, pets, or tall windows.

• Layered, custom looks add instant value and curb appeal. Even if you're on a budget, we can help you elevate key rooms while keeping things practical in others.

The Sooner You Plan, the Better Your Options

We get it—it’s tempting to wait. With so many other decisions (and expenses) during the building process, blinds often fall to the bottom of the list. But here’s why planning early gives you a significant advantage:

• You can budget ahead of time and avoid last-minute spending.

• You’ll have time to run wiring for motorized shades if you want them—something that’s much harder to add after drywall.

• You won’t be rushed into choosing something “just for now” that doesn’t reflect your long-term style.

• Most importantly, your windows will be finished when you move in—no sheets pinned up for privacy, no scrambling to cover the bedroom windows.

Imagine walking into your brand-new home, and everything feels finished—right down to the soft, stylish shades that make every room feel just right. That’s the experience we want to give you.
