Choosing between different window treatments is a matter of taste. It helps to be familiar with the differences, options for your windows, and overall interior design.
BASICS OF BLINDS – Composed of slats that can be tilted for privacy, and to vary the amount of light entering a room. We carry all popular blinds. We have wood and faux-wood blinds, with no route holes for the cord, offering a cleaner look, improved privacy, and more light control. Choose: smooth, for a clean aesthetic; textured, for a softer, fabric-like look; embossed and wood-like, for a stylish touch. Low maintenance makes them perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.
ESSENTIALS OF SHADES – Consisting of fabric that pulls up and down with a cord, cordless lift system, or motorization. Unlike blinds, shades are solid fabric. There’s a style of shade for every decorating theme. Along with the functions of blocking light and providing privacy, shades are a simple way to add color, texture, and pattern to your room. You can add style by topping your shades with a valance or cornice. Popular shades are Roller Shades, Roman Shades, Dual Shades, and Cellular Shades.
STANDARDS OF SHUTTERS – Made of horizontal louvers built around vertical stiles and horizontal rails. Shutters can have a variety of frame styles. We carry wood and composite shutters and even waterproof shutters for showers. Shutters are easy to clean, making them perfect for high-traffic areas; they are beautiful in modern and traditional homes. We have motorized shutters for hard-to-reach areas.
