When you’re settling into a home in Meridian, one of the most overlooked but important design decisions you’ll make is how to cover your windows. With so many options—blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery—it can be tough to decide. So why do so many homeowners still love curtains?

Let’s explore the benefits of choosing curtains for your windows and why they might be the perfect fit for your Meridian home.


How Can Curtains Reflect My Personal Style?

Your home should feel like you. While flooring, furniture, and wall colors get a lot of attention, your window coverings play just as significant a role in defining the mood of each room.

Curtains allow you to express your style more than any other window treatment. From bold prints to soft textures, sheer to blackout, modern minimalism to cozy traditional—there’s a fabric and design to match every personality and every room in your home.

And with Budget Blinds of Boise and Nampa, you can select from hundreds of fabrics, patterns, and header styles to make your curtains completely custom—no cookie-cutter panels here.


Will Curtains Fit All My Windows—Even the Big or Odd-Shaped Ones?

Meridian homes often feature a mix of standard, large, arched, or uniquely shaped windows. Finding the right fit can be challenging, especially with store-bought, pre-sized options.

Custom curtains solve that problem beautifully. Whether you have tall sliding doors, dramatic arched windows, or want an elegant look in your living room, curtains can be tailored to fit any size or shape of window.

Plus, pairing curtains with the proper hardware ensures full functionality while enhancing the architectural beauty of your home.


Do Curtains Help With Energy Efficiency?

Yes, curtains do more than just look great. When properly lined and installed, they provide an additional layer of insulation, helping block out cold drafts in the winter and harsh heat in the summer.

In Meridian’s climate, where winters can be chilly and summers are dry and sunny, adding curtains can help reduce energy use, keep your home more comfortable year-round, and potentially lower your utility bills.

For even better performance, consider layering curtains over insulating shades for both beauty and energy savings.


Are Curtains Hard to Maintain?

Not at all. Many homeowners worry that curtains are high-maintenance, but they’re surprisingly easy to care for.

You can lightly vacuum them occasionally.  While many fabrics are machine washable, we recommend dry cleaning. This is because the face fabric may be one type of material and the lining composed of a different material, causing them not to react the same to washing, and may cause puckering at the seams and hemline.
