From light control to energy efficiency, the right shades have the power to completely transform a room—elevating its overall aesthetic and functionality.
Shades and blinds have different aesthetic and functional benefits. When sourcing a solution for your home, we consider everything from your personal style to your existing architecture to your day-to-day habits.
From soft roman shades in custom fabrics to honeycomb, transitional, roller, solar, and woven wood shades, we can create something special for every space.
Installed inside the window frame for a minimalist appearance, they feature a roller mechanism at the top that neatly rolls up the fabric when open. When fully raised, they virtually disappear, offering unobstructed views and making them an ideal choice for rooms with beautiful outdoor scenery.
Cellular (or honeycomb) shades feature tiny pockets that trap air, helping to insulate your home. In the winter, they prevent cold air from entering, while in the summer, they keep warm air out. This added insulation can reduce the need for heating and cooling, making your home more energy-efficient year-round.
Woven wood shades are crafted from grasses and fibers, bringing depth, texture, and character to any space. These shades have a casual vibe, but their wide range of colors—from light to dark tones—offers versatility to suit both relaxed and more polished interiors.
Transitional shades offer several unique options. Banded shades, for example, function like roller shades but alternate between sheer and solid bands, providing both light filtering and privacy. Silhouette shades feature a sheer front and back with adjustable fabric vanes, while Pirouette shades give the appearance of a soft, hobbled Roman shade but can open and close for varying levels of light control.
Solar shades are available in a variety of opacity levels, offering options from sheer to room-darkening. Whether you need a light-filtering shade for common areas or a room-darkening option for bedrooms, solar shades provide an elegant way to manage light while maintaining your view.
Roman shades provide a clean, sophisticated look. Available in several styles, including classic flat, relaxed with a soft scoop at the bottom, or soft fold with uniform pleats, these shades work beautifully on their own or layered with side panels to create a more dramatic effect.
Venetian blinds are a classic and versatile window treatment option, perfect for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Their tilting slats allow for precise light control, letting you adjust the amount of natural light that enters your space with ease. Available in wood, faux wood, or aluminum, Venetian blinds offer flexibility in material choice to complement the style and functionality of your room. Whether you’re looking to add warmth with wood or opt for the sleek, modern look of aluminum, Venetian blinds are a go-to solution that seamlessly integrates with any decor.
When it comes to large windows or sliding doors, vertical blinds are an excellent choice. Not only do they provide exceptional light control and privacy, but their vertical slats create an illusion of height, making your space feel larger and more open. Vertical blinds are both functional and stylish, and they work well in a variety of room settings, from living rooms to office spaces. They offer a streamlined, contemporary look that can elevate any interior.
Wood and faux wood blinds bring warmth and natural beauty to your windows. Whether you choose the richness of real wood or the durability of faux wood, these blinds are available in a range of finishes to perfectly match your decor. Faux wood blinds are particularly well-suited for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms, as they offer excellent moisture resistance without compromising on style. Both options provide a timeless, elegant look that enhances the overall ambiance of your space.
Mini blinds are an excellent choice for those seeking a sleek and minimalist window treatment. Their compact design makes them ideal for smaller windows, or for spaces where you want a clean, unobtrusive look. Despite their simple appearance, mini blinds offer effective light control and privacy, making them a practical and stylish option for any room in your home.
Each of these window treatments not only enhances your space aesthetically but will be crafted to align with your lifestyle, offering the perfect blend of functionality and design. Whether you’re looking for warmth, sleek lines, or precise light control, we can assist in choosing and installing the ideal custom shade or blind.
