If you’ve ever stood in a room and felt like something was off—maybe it felt too bright, too empty, or just too plain—there’s a good chance the windows had something to do with it. We hear this from Columbus homeowners all the time. They’ll say, “I bought something from a store, but it never looked right once I put it up.” And honestly? It’s because some spaces simply need custom window design to look and feel complete.
At Jolene’s Interiors, we see windows as more than just openings in a wall. They shape the mood of your home, influence how you wake up in the morning, and even decide whether your space feels warm and cozy or flat and unfinished. The right design can change everything—quietly but dramatically.
Why Custom Beats Ready-Made Almost Every Time
Most homes aren’t built with standard window sizes anymore. Even houses in the same neighborhood can have completely different shapes, heights, trims, or quirky angles. Trying to force a generic shade or curtain to fit is like wearing a shirt two sizes too big and hoping no one notices.
Here’s what custom design brings to the table:
A Fit That Makes Sense
You don’t realize how much a proper fit matters until you see it done correctly. No weird gaps. No awkward edges. Just clean, tailored lines that instantly make the room feel more intentional.
More Style Options Than You Expect
People often tell us, “I wish I had more choices.” Then they walk into our studio and suddenly they’re looking at fabrics they’ve never seen before—textures, weaves, colors, details that can completely shift a room’s personality. That’s the beauty of custom: you’re not limited to “whatever the store had.”
Function You Can Feel Every Day
We all live differently. Some people want total privacy. Others want soft light without the harsh mid-day glare. Some want shades they can control from their phone. Modern window treatment designs make it possible to get exactly what you want without sacrificing the look you love.
Better Quality, Longer Life
Custom isn’t about being fancy. It’s about lasting longer. Better craftsmanship means fewer headaches over time.
What’s Trending in Columbus: Modern Window Treatment Designs
Columbus homes have a certain warmth to them—modern, yes, but never cold or stark. Recently, we’ve noticed a few styles that homeowners are drawn to again and again.
Woven and Natural Textures
There’s something about bamboo, textured linen, and woven woods that bring calm into a room. These materials soften the look without making it feel heavy.
Soft Neutrals
People are moving away from bold colors and leaning into gentle tones—warm whites, taupe, oatmeal, clay, muted grays. These shades make your home feel peaceful, which most of us could use more of.
Motorized Shades That Make Life Easier
We meet a lot of people who say, “I never thought I’d want motorized shades, but now I can’t imagine not having them.” It’s true—they’re convenient, clean-looking, and great for homes with tall or hard-to-reach windows.
Drapery That Reaches the Floor
Long, sweeping panels instantly make a room feel more finished. They also make ceilings look taller, which is always a bonus.
Layering Instead of Choosing One Thing
Instead of choosing between drapes or shades, people are using both. A sheer shade for daytime softness and drapery for style and privacy. The layering adds depth and warmth.
Why People Trust Jolene’s Interiors Instead of Going It Alone
The biggest thing clients tell us is, “I wish I had come here first.” Window design is one of those things that seems simple until you start doing it. Measurements, fabric weight, light direction, hardware… there’s more involved than people expect.
Here’s what makes working with us different:
We Look at Your Home First
Your lifestyle matters just as much as your style. We look at the space, the direction of the sunlight, your color palette, furniture, and how the room is used before making suggestions.
We Give Honest Guidance
If something doesn’t make sense for your space, we’ll tell you. Not everything that looks good online works well in real life.
We Handle the Measuring and Installing
This part is huge. Proper installation is what separates “nice enough” from “wow, that looks incredible.”
We Work With High-Quality Materials
There’s a difference in how good fabrics fall, how they clean, and how long they hold up. The quality shows over the years, not just on day one.
We Make Sure It Feels Like You
Your home should feel like it belongs to you, not a showroom. Our job is to help bring out your style—not replace it.
A Home Feels Different When the Windows Are Done Right
If you’re thinking about refreshing your home, your windows are one of the smartest places to start. They set the tone for the entire room. And when they’re designed with your space in mind, everything else naturally feels more put together.
Jolene’s Interiors would love to help you create window treatments that fit your home, your routine, and your personality.
