Designer’s Touch

Advanced Window Fashions Technology can save your window fashions and furniture from fading and discoloring.

As wonderful as it might be to just run out and get all new furnishings for your home, the costs of doing so are obviously prohibitive. Fabrics can fade, wood pieces and paint colors can sun-bleach over time, and then what? How can you keep your valuable home furnishings safe from the sun’s powerful effects? The answer is “prevention”, and choosing the right window treatments is more than just and ounce of cure. Advances in window fashion materials and product design make your windows the best place to start when protecting your valued interior colors since light control is job one in keeping fading down to the absolute minimum. Some truly beautiful cellular shades, blinds and innovative vaned shades can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays without darkening your rooms. I’d love to show you a gorgeous array of “color-saving” window fashions that will be the perfect solution for UV control, and will make your home more comfortable and beautiful!

Even in winter, the outlook for “home” is bright and sunny!

Seems like a long time ago when the things you hung up in front of your windows were simple curtains, and that was all they were. Over years, so many incredible designs, styles, fabrics and technological innovations have turned �curtains� into probably the most elegant and personal statement you can make in determining your home decor. Add glorious valances, sumptuous cornice designs, acres of fabric, gorgeous ornamentation, hardware or tassels, and the look and feel becomes pure luxury… and comfort in any room of your home. The key is in finding and selecting the perfect fabrics to achieve your design goals.

Casual elegance can be achieved with textured fabrics used in creating draperies with luxe volume. Shimmering silks, blends and new synthetics can bring an elegant sparkle that makes your rooms shine. Opulent multi-layered effects help achieve depth at any window, with fabric sheers, shadings and blinds beneath custom designed draperies making the ultimate d�cor statement.

Exciting Windows by Designers Touch of Louisville ky,  can show you how to make your bay windows more exciting. Bay windows are a beautiful architectural feature that most homeowners want to accentuate in their decor.. There are many attractive options for decorating. Draperies, blinds, and swags are all possibilities. Installing bay window draperies can beautify your home, and save on energy cost.

It is important to treat the bay window as a whole unit, rather than individual windows otherwise the window will become cluttered and lose the design features. Therefore bay windows are generally decorated with a custom track that follows the line of the window.The most elegant window treatment is the swag and cascade.  Sheers can be used if privacy is a requirement, otherwise, I would leave these out, as we want to see the windows and their view.

Window Décor Tip of the Month:

Color is nothing to fear. Don´t be afraid to add a “pop” of an unexpected color to your rooms, and your windows can be the most obvious place to start. A deep or richly colored silk tassel tie­back can bring a totally new feel to your existing neutral drapery treatment. Bold, textured or embroidered custom sheers add depth and elegance. Contrasting cornices or valances bring structural formality to any room, and sheer or opaque roman shades bring a look of opulence that keeps your indoors private, with the option of allowing as much or as little light in as you like, simply by opening and closing them. Whatever the choice, color will make an amazing chnage to your decor, in small or large doses! So do not fear! Let me help you with fresh color ideas that will be pleasing to your budget, too!
