What to Expect from an In-Home Window Treatment Design Consultation

|

When it comes to updating your home’s style and comfort, choosing the right window coverings is a key decision. At Bumble Bee Blinds of Boulder, we’ve designed our in-home window treatment consultation process to make that decision easy, enjoyable, and completely personalized.

Whether you’re considering motorized blinds, energy-efficient cellular shades, or elegant custom drapery, our goal is to help you discover the best combination of function and design for your space — right from the comfort of your own home.


Step 1: Scheduling Your Free Consultation

It all starts with a simple phone call or online request. We’ll work with your schedule to find a convenient time for your in-home design consultation. Unlike shopping in a showroom, we bring our expertise, samples, and design tools directly to you, so you can see how different products look in your lighting and décor.


Step 2: Understanding Your Goals and Space

Every Boulder home has its own character — from modern downtown condos to mountain-view properties. During your consultation, we’ll talk about what matters most to you: light control, privacy, energy efficiency, or smart home automation.

We take time to understand how you use each room, your design preferences, and your budget. This allows us to create a truly customized plan that aligns with your lifestyle and your home’s unique needs.


Step 3: Product Demonstrations and Smart Integration Options

Your design consultant will walk you through a curated selection of samples — including fabrics, materials, finishes, and control systems. You’ll be able to touch and see the options before making any decisions.

If you’re exploring motorized window treatments, we’ll demonstrate how they integrate with Alexa, Google Home, or Control4, showing how easily you can control shades with your voice or phone.

We also discuss the difference between hardwired and battery-powered motorization, helping you choose the right system for your home’s setup and energy goals.


Step 4: Professional Measuring and Design Visualization

Precision is essential for custom window coverings. During your visit, our consultant will take exact measurements to ensure a perfect fit for every window. We also use visualization tools to help you see how different products and colors will look in your space before you decide.


Step 5: Detailed Proposal and Next Steps

After the consultation, we’ll prepare a clear, itemized proposal outlining your chosen products, pricing, and estimated timeline. You’ll have all the information you need to make a confident decision — no surprises, no pressure.

Once you approve the design, our certified installation team handles everything from delivery to setup, ensuring your new window treatments operate perfectly from day one.
