Exciting Windows

Sounds obvious enough, right? And, in a way it is. I have seen many beautiful examples and many not-so-beautiful examples. The trick is to match up the decorating themes of a given room with the appropriate window treatment. The other choices are color, insulating properties, light control and privacy. By the way, I take window treatments to mean almost any window covering: blinds, shades, shutters and drapes. There doesn’t seem to be much consensus on what a window treatment is so I am taking the broadest definition.

Choosing the right blinds and shades can get a little more complicated than these few choices. For example there are motorized blinds, cordless, valance options, wand control and more. But for the purposes of this article I will stick mostly to the major themes as mentioned above. Once you have chosen the appropriate blind, shade, shutter or drape, you can decide if you want to add any of the convenience options offered by the manufacturer.

Also, the size of the individual cells or cavities will have a direct effect on the capability of the cellular shade.

As the popularity of cellular shades increases, the issue of light control seems to be of primary importance. Conversely, the lighter the color, the more light will pass through the shade. Issue is also taken with the unwelcome brightness which is out of our control unless we have the proper window treatment which can help us regain the peaceful setting we deserve. One shade or two shades for double windows? Should I choose single or double cell? These formulas can play an important role depending on the physical location of the home, i.e. If the functionality of cellular shades is at the forefront of your decision, you will find that cellular shades are a highly functional product which will bring years of comfort and aesthetically pleasing moments into your home or office.

Window blinds are one of the most neglected functional and decorative accessories of a room, but they are actually one of the most noticeable items. Bamboo blinds are a great way to add decoration to a functional accessory with the small detail yet large effect they create.  Bamboo blinds look great for any room of any style of dcor. Bamboo blinds, when left as a natural looking wood, are light honey brown color that has a warm tone. This feature allows them to bring instant warmth to a room. Some people choose to paint bamboo blinds. If this is the case, they can be done in any color to match any design scheme. Traditionally, however, bamboo blinds are left their natural color because of the natural beauty of the wood.

The cleaning of draperies, curtains and other window treatments requires a professional who understands the many nuances of this specialty. The investment you have in your draperies and window treatments is most likely substantial.  Our “Digital Drapery Documentation” ensures that your decorators original design concepts are preserved during the process. Photography, along with accurate pre and post dimensional measurements guarantee that the “after” will look just like the “before” - only fresher, cleaner and brighter! Our licensed Adjust-A-Drape Process eliminates or minimizes shrinkage.  Exposure to humidity, oxygen and sunlight can cause permanent damage and color changes, and weaken threads, especially those in folds closest to the window. In cases where the linings of draperies are too sun-burned or yellowed for restoration, but the drapery fabric remains intact, we can custom install replacement linings to make the draperies as good as new!
