Window Treatments may not be the first consideration of a renovation or new construction project. However, once the project is complete, they can be one of the most impactful elements for those who occupy the space.
In this course we will provide you with the tools to strike the right balance of lighting, privacy and functionality when designing a space.
By the end, you’ll have the necessary knowledge and skills to help with the treatment placement, selection and operation, as well as how to overcome any obstacles you may encounter.
