Not all windows are rectangular. Hexagonal or trapezoid windows are just a few odd-shaped windows that can be difficult to decorate. While conventional drapes and coverings may not work, the sunburst is an elegant way to give you the privacy you need on your odd shaped window, while still letting in ample light.

Remember the last time you felt that you’d truly been served well by someone who sold you something? It’s probably been a while. That’s because real personal service beyond the exchange of money has become so rare that when it actually does happen to YOU, that quality of service is almost impossible to overlook.

We in the Shop-At Home Custom Window Fashions business proudly provide that exceptional quality of service every day, AND with added value. We care about what we sell and install, and it shows in every aspect of your purchase experience, from our first phone conversation to the final details of installation, and your ultimate satisfaction. We feel fortunate to be able to use our training and expertise to help you make your home more beautiful, with custom draperies, blinds, shades or shutters that reflect the way you want to live.

Luxury That Isn’t Expensive!

Most people feel that if they’re even offered truly exceptional service, their purchase will cost them more than if they serve themselves, as in any retail or discount store. But when it comes to windows fashions for your home, this is hardly the truth. Window coverings you buy from a store are only the limited selections they offer, that you can then put into a bag and carry home yourself, install yourself, and hope that they look like the photo on the package. That is exactly what you receive in exchange for any ’savings’ you perceive to have made.

When you shop-at-home with a Window Fashions Professional, you not only have almost infinite options in color, style and fabrication to consider, right there in the rooms where they’ll actually be used and enjoyed, but also the luxury of knowing that every aspect of your window fashions selections will be handled in a singular way… a truly custom drapery purchase designed and made just for you. This begins when we measure every detail of your windows, since every window IS different. Add the expert craft in creating your selections, and the professional installation we provide to the package, and you have a personalized shopping experience like almost no other, from start to finish. All this and more can be yours, at a price you’ll love.

An elegant sense of style describes what arch tops achieve with the balanced lines that flow from their design. From the dramatic to the sublime, half or quarter round, true or segmented, arch tops offer a graceful way to frame the view.

Exciting Windows decorators  can show you how to make your arched windows more exciting. Arched 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 arched window draperies can beautify your home.

Sheer Elegance!

If you think of granny’s lacy window covering when you think of sheers, you won’t for long! Sheer and translucent window shadings are now some of the most exciting and innovative available today.

Now you can choose from many designs, colors and styles that allow you to have varying degrees of light AND privacy, just beautiful translucence or tranquil, near-total privacy. They can also be used alone with a simple self-header for a trim and contemporary look, or paired with draperies and an elaborate valance or cornice for an elegant tailored effect. Whichever you choose, softened light and interior beauty will be yours!

Vertical or horizontal?
Color or white? Light or dark?

These are just a few of the choices you can now make when selecting from “the new sheers”.

The most extraordinary and desirable choices combine two layers of light-admitting sheer fabric with semi-opaque vertical or horizontal “vanes” between, that together create a glorious dual sheer effect. When the vanes are fully open, they allow outside ambience and light in like normal sheers. When they are partially or fully closed, they provide the kind of privacy everyone wants. Plus, they come in a great range of colors and textures sure to compliment any decor. I’d love to show you some of the latest styles.

Color is where we begin in decorating. It is the tool that we use to create effective interiors. Color is perhaps the most powerful technique that a designer can use to affect emotions. That is why it is important to consider color choices carefully . What is the function of the room and who will be primarily living in the space are questions that will help answer what color scheme to employ?

When color is done correctly, it can enhance the feelings of health and well being. Color can influence the perceived temperature of a room, making you feel cool or warm. Also, it can control the visual aspects of space, making a large room appears cozy or a small room, look spacious. Of course color has the power to influence romance, and to create a mysterious setting.

There are basically two choices when selecting a color scheme. For a more bold interior you can use a “complementary” color scheme. This is when the colors are opposite one another on the color wheel, such as red and green, blue and yellow, or purple and orange. If you like your room to be more serene, you can go with the “analogous” color scheme. These are colors that are close to each other on the color wheel, such as yellow and green, blue and violet, or red and orange.

When deciding on color in a room that already have decorative items in it, such as an oriental rug or a sofa, I love to pull the colors from an existing pattern. It is an effective technique that will pull a room together. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard, “Wow, I can’t believe how window treatments complete a room!”

Let us guide your color decisions through your emotional temperament so you can enjoy your home for years to come.
