If you’re looking for a central location for all things design, you’ve come to the right place. Our design ideas, interior style tips, and window treatment styles are just waiting to be put into action in your home. We compiled this list over the past year to provide seasonal updates, trending features, favorite styles for Austin homeowners, and to offer the most energy-efficient options for your windows. Let’s take a look at what you’ve been searching for.
1. Motorized Roller Shades (& Other Automated Coverings!)
If you have large windows or windows in hard-to-reach places, you know the struggle of adjusting treatments. Smart tech offers enhanced functionality for your home. With a variety of features from remote control to an app that schedules your blinds to operate, to voice control, you can integrate technology your way. Our clients are looking to make things easier in all aspects of life, and that’s where window shade automation comes in.
2. Dual Shades
Dual shades offer a two-for-one opportunity to cover your windows and protect your home. Using a one-light filtering shade, you can view what you want while using a second shade to block out light. This makes it a perfect option for rooms where you want to enjoy the outdoors but also maintain some privacy and light control for movie nights with the family or a night in with friends.
3. Blackout Shade Options
Blackout options offer a variety of materials, including opaque fabrics. Depending on the type of window coverings you want, you may consider options that block out light as needed for privacy and light control. We can help you choose from blinds to shades for bedrooms where you want darkness to sleep to other rooms where light can be an issue. Achieve the right atmosphere for your room and your home.
4. Drapery Side Panels
Find a new, creative way to style your windows with blackout curtains by adding layers. Drapery panels are a highly functional fabric layered on the sides of your window covering to reduce light and add beautiful color and texture.
5. Our Custom Wood Shutters
It’s no surprise that our custom wood shutters are a top 10! This classic window style has tremendous staying power. This traditional look with beauty and function can transform the style of your home instantly. Our plantation shutters come in a variety of styles and finishes. The benefits include style, energy efficiency, and privacy. Another bonus us that they can fit tricky spaces, like arched windows.
6. Sliding Door Solutions
For many of us, sliders, patio doors, french doors and entryways can be difficult to cover in the right way. What works for one home may not be right for another, and function really matters here. At Austin Window Fashions, you can schedule an in-home visit where one of our professionals will evaluate the space and orientation of your entryway. Next, they will suggest glass door covering solutions and lead toward the right product for you. The best part? We can coordinate our products for a beautiful cohesive look throughout your home.
7. Top Down, Bottom Up
The ideal balance of natural light and privacy is yours with top down bottom-up shades. Top down shades offer such flexibility and can be the answer you are looking for. From privacy and protection to elevating the ambiance of the room, adjusting these shades to reveal the stars is just one way to experience the unexpected value of this product. Drop the shade down to allow sunlight in the morning but still maintain privacy, adjust the bottoms up to warm those hardwood floors.
8. All Types of Roller Shades
Yes, roller shades were an original–but they’ve evolved over time with style and function! The simple operation of the Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades collection is a client favorite, but now, we have a number of other rolling window shades to discover, including ones made from a variety of modern materials. Offering light control, privacy, and UV protection, you can achieve an elevated look with a traditional operating system. Easy, peasy.
9. Woven Wood Shades
When searching for something to elevate the look of your home, look no further than our Provenance Woven Woods collection.
