A plan for your home
Let your actual view guide the choice
The City of Clive describes Greenbelt Park as running through much of the community. Outdoor views are one reason to consider how much glass a treatment covers when it is open, as well as what happens when it is closed.
If your window faces landscaping, an open backyard or a nearby home, we can plan around that specific view and sightline. A green outlook does not establish privacy on its own, and a city address does not tell us how much sun reaches your room. We assess the actual opening with you.
Choose the right treatment
Custom options, room by room.
Compare the look you want with the privacy, light control, and operation each room needs.
Give daylight and evening privacy separate jobs
Start by describing the room at two times: when daylight is strongest and when indoor lights are on. A fabric that looks softly translucent in the afternoon may reveal more than you want at night. Blinds can redirect light through their slats, but their privacy also depends on the viewing angle and how closely they close.
A layered treatment can be useful when one material cannot satisfy both routines. For example, you might pair a daytime shade with closing drapery. If you want decorative panels only, say so: stationary panels frame a window but should not be counted as the room's closing privacy layer. Compare these approaches in our custom drapery guide.
Manage glare where you sit and work
Show us the position of the television, monitor, reading chair or dining table. The problem may be a bright reflection at a particular hour rather than a room that needs to stay dark all day. Note when glare is most disruptive and whether you are comfortable adjusting the treatment as conditions change.
Solar shades are one option to compare for daylight glare and outward views, but they should not be assumed to provide nighttime privacy. A different roller fabric or an added layer may better suit a room used after dark. We can compare samples against the glass so you can judge the view and light tradeoff yourself.
Add layers without crowding the opening
Combining a shade and drapery works best when the mounting plan is considered together. Check how far the shade projects, where the rod or track sits, and where the panels stack when open. Nearby walls, cabinets or a patio door may leave less room than a photograph suggests.
For a narrow wall space, a simpler shade can preserve access and visual breathing room. For a large sitting area, fabric panels can add texture while a separate shade handles daily adjustments. Bring a photo of the surrounding wall, not only the glass, and compare drapery hardware and support options before finalizing fabric.
Choose a treatment you will actually adjust
Think through the daily routine: opening the room in the morning, working during the afternoon and closing it before dinner. A beautiful treatment that is inconvenient behind furniture may stay in one position all day. Check the control location while the room is furnished, and consider independent operation on windows used differently.
If reachable controls are difficult, discuss motorization along with power and charging access. If simple manual adjustment is enough, compare the feel of the available operating systems. At a free Clive consultation, we connect those practical choices to your preferred style and prepare a custom quote for the selected products and installation.

Helpful answers

Have a question about a particular window? Text 515-WINDOWS to start the conversation.
Do solar shades give my Clive home nighttime privacy?
Do not assume they do. Open-weave solar fabrics are selected partly for visibility through the material, and indoor lighting changes the sightline after dark. Discuss a separate privacy layer or a different fabric for rooms where that matters.
Can I keep my view without leaving the whole window uncovered?
There are several approaches to compare, including adjustable slats and view-through fabrics. Each has different privacy and light-control limits. We will look at your actual view, nearby sightlines and the times you use the room before recommending an option.
Can you match new shades to drapery I already own?
We can compare samples beside existing fabric and inspect the available mounting space. Bring out the panels during the visit and tell us whether you plan to keep the existing rod or track. Compatibility depends on the clearances and condition of the current setup.
