Windows & Walls

Draperies are not only beautiful but can be very energy efficient.  When insulated lining or interlining is added it increases the r value of the drapery.  A drapery that breaks on the floor is more energy efficient than a drapery that hangs off the floor. A drapery breaking on the floor will stop air leaking from under the drapery.

Do you have too much or too little light entering the room?

Light is a great natural resource that can be altered to suit your needs. Window fashions with rotating vanes or louvers can be used to direct light where it’s needed most. For media rooms and bedrooms treatments that provide maximum room darkening are a good choice.

Remember that while sunlight can beautifully illuminate a space, it also gives off heat and harmful UV rays. Products like honeycomb shades significantly reduce heat transfer at the window while providing superior UV protection.

Practical Considerations?

A general rule of thumb is that if you can see out through closed window treatments during the day, others can see in at night. Look for window fashion innovations such as Silhouette window shadings from Hunter Douglas that offer a combination of sheer fabric to maintain a view of the outside and rotating fabric vanes for variable light control and privacy both during the day and into the night.

When you are remodeling your kitchen one of the things to consider is the window. It is a key part of any kitchen remodeling project. Not only do you have to think of the window design but you will have to consider the window treatment too. Café curtains are often the immediate choice but they need not be. Fabric valances look great as an add on to café curtains. Modern kitchens with their gleaming surfaces look great with metal mini-blinds. They also have the added advantage of furthering any color scheme and being more fire resistant than other window treatments.
