Head to the Kitchen

It’s the one room that sees constant traffic all day long. The kitchen could easily be the hardest working room in your home. Designing the atmosphere to ensure comfort with lead to a more successful day. Consider the placement of the windows–and which direction they face.

Customize the Dining Room

We’ve seen a shift in the way families are using the dining room. Some have turned it into a different room altogether. Others use it continually over the course of the day for various activities. And, some still style it beautifully–using it for special occasions and Sunday dinners. No matter the function, it’s important to choose solutions that fit the function of the space. Oftentimes, this room is part of an open floor plan design. But, not to worry–many of our window treatments can carry the same style without being exactly the same.

The great room, the living room, the family room. You might call it something special in your home–or, you might have all three! When deciding on window treatments for every room in your home, a relaxing family space is a great place to create. These rooms are commonly used for a variety of activities. They can also feature large windows–sometimes high up on the wall, or spanning wide spaces.

Enjoy Simplicity in the Bathrooms

The most important feature of bathroom window coverings? Most people think of privacy. While it’s true privacy is the reason you need coverage, we have a feature that is WAY more important. We say simple adjustments are best! Being able to quickly and easily adjust the window coverings is vital to accessing privacy–no matter who is making the adjustments. Think about children and guests–they need simplicity. Consider your mater bath–does the tub block you from adjusting the window shade?
