Treating Transoms Again…

Hello Chatham!
Here is another way to treat a transom window, this time in a dining room. The family needed privacy below, so woven wood shades gave a nice texture and filtered light while blocking a direct view into the home. Classic drapery panels on great hardware with beautiful finials and wood rings completed the look.

Hello Rochester!
Transom windows can be a design challenge when you want to make your room beautiful with custom window treatments, especially if the sun comes in too brightly on your television or is fading your furnishings. We can help! Here is a photo of an unusually tall and wide set of transom windows, dressed with sheer fabric swags, drapery panels, and substantial wood poles and finials to complete the installation.

What kind of shades will help me sleep better and blackout the light?

Hi all,
This week a client needed blackout shades for a bedroom where streetlights right out front were disturbing their sleep. With energy costs so high, a room darkening, or blackout version of an insulating cellular shade was chosen. We sized it wider than the window frame to cut out as much light as possible. Plus, during the day, she can lower the shade from the top to keep some privacy from the neck down but allow some sunshine to brighten the room. There are many brands of cellular shades, with many fabrics, control systems, and shapes. This particular job used the Eco Smart brand, one of the highest R-value cellular shades.
