    Tips for Buying Drapes Online

    January 6, 2016 By hpdadmin Leave a Comment

    Many people shopping for drapes are stuck in a difficult situation: they want the lower prices available online versus their local retail store, but they also want to see and touch the fabric before they make a significant investment. Luckily Half Price Drapes is here to provide solutions to both issues. Let’s take a look at the best tips for buying drapes online.

    Order fabric swatches before you make your final decision

    One of the many advantages of shopping with Half Price Drapes is the fact that we offer free fabric swatches to our customers. Get up to $10 worth of swatches at no cost! Though you will need to pay a small shipping charge, being able to take a look at the fabric in your own home is well worth it. Feel it for yourself and be sure you’re investing in the perfect curtains for your needs.

    Know the pros and cons of different fabrics

    Deciding on the right color or pattern is largely an issue of personal preference, but it’s up to consumers to educate themselves on the advantages of the various types of fabrics available to them. For example, cotton linens are lightweight and flow well, but they may not be the best for those who are concerned with lowering utility bills. Blackout curtains or velvet drapes are great for dramatic effect but they aren’t good for rooms in which you want a lot of natural light to come in.

    Measure your windows

    You’ll need to know how wide and long your windows are before you make your drapery purchase. Even if you have the dimensions of your windows, measure them anyway. The way your window manufacturer measures them may be slightly off, depending on the way they were installed and the molding around them. Custom drapes can be a great option if you have windows that are an unusual size or shape. Though they can cost a little more, you will see the expense is well worth it when they cover your windows perfectly.

    Shop with an online retailer that specializes in drapes

    You can find plenty of discount sites that offer cheap curtains, but you can bet that they won’t have the best quality, knowing they simply amass as many different types of discount products as they can get their hands on.  Half Price Drapes deals only with curtains and related accessories. As a result, we can answer all your questions and are here to offer both quality materials and affordable prices.
