You’ve taken the first step toward creating a home that feels more comfortable, more beautiful, and more in tune with how you live every day. Whether you’ve just booked your consultation or you’re waiting for a call from the team, this visit is where your project truly begins — and Aero Drapery & Blind makes it simple from the moment a designer arrives at your door. Here’s what you can expect, along with a few easy ways to get ready.
What Happens During an In-Home Consultation
A Conversation About Your Space
First, your consultation always starts with a conversation. Your designer will take time to understand how you use each room, how you want it to feel, and what isn’t working right now. It’s relaxed and collaborative — but no need to have any decisions made beforehand.
Reviewing Light, Privacy, and Style Needs
As you walk through your home together, your designer will observe how the light behaves, where privacy is a concern, and what design elements are already helping (or hindering) the space. These details eventually guide the recommendations that follow.
Exploring Product Options
From simple, tailored shades to layered treatments with softness and depth, you’ll review materials, colors, and opacity levels that support your goals. Most people come in uncertain — that’s perfectly normal. Aero Drapery & Blind guides you from “I’m not sure what I need” to “this feels exactly right.”
Precise Measuring and Technical Details
Aero Drapery & Blind handles all necessary measurements to ensure a flawless, custom fit. Whether it happens during your appointment or as a separate follow-up, everything is taken care of. Also, you won’t need to move furniture or prepare windows unless the team advises otherwise — the process is designed to be effortless for you.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
Start With Your Goals
Your designer’s recommendations hinge on what you want to improve. Take a moment to think about:
1. Do certain rooms get too bright or too warm?
2. Are there areas where privacy feels too open?
3. Is energy efficiency part of your decision?
4. Or are you simply updating the look of your home?
Having these intentions in mind helps your designer tailor the experience to what matters most.
Take a Quick Walk Through Your Home
Before your appointment, a brief walk from room to room can be helpful. Notice where glare hits the TV, where the afternoon sun is harsh, or where a space feels unfinished. Although keep in mind, no formal notes required — just a general sense of what you want to address.
Gather Inspiration
If you’ve seen looks you love — in a magazine, on Pinterest, or in a saved Instagram post — feel free to have them on hand during the consultation. They don’t need to be perfect matches or follow a consistent style. Your designer will be able to read patterns in your taste and interpret them in a way that fits your home.
Consider Household Practicalities
Kids, pets, tall windows, tricky corners, busy rooms — these details help the designer match you with solutions that are both beautiful and durable. If you’re curious about motorized shades or smart home integration, this is the perfect time to mention it.
After the Consultation
Once your consultation is complete, Aero Drapery & Blind handles the next steps. You’ll receive your quote, review any samples left behind, and move forward at a pace that works for you. Aero Drapery & Blind’s team coordinates measurement verification, ordering, and installation — all managed by trained professionals who value your home and your time.

You don’t need to prepare heavily for your consultation. A few intentions and inspirations are more than enough.
