Life Well Styled

Motorized Window Treatments. Motorized window treatments are a great option for hard to reach windows. They can be oper-ated via a remote control, wall control, or your phone. They can be programed to open at a certain time in the morning and close in the evening. You can set different times for weekdays and weekends. Even when you are away from home, you can still operate your blinds.

Shutters. Also known as Plantation shutters, they are available in many stains and paint colors. Mul-tiple configurations of panels are available for your windows and sliding/French doors. Café, bi-fold, sliding, double hung and special shapes are available as well.

Special Shapes & Sizes. Oversized windows and special shaped windows can be a challenge but there are solutions avail-able. Most special shaped windows generally need templates so the blinds can be correctly made.

Flame Retardant Fabrics are available for your window treat-ments.

Professional Measuring & Installation. Don’t let a wrong

comb shades are less expensive than replacing win-dows.

Privacy. Of course, when your blinds or shades are closed, you have privacy. The “top down/bottom up” feature is a great option for privacy while still allowing lots of natural light into your home. An excellent feature for bedrooms, bathrooms and first floor rooms, where you want privacy but still have the ability to see outside through the top half of your window or open the top window for fresh air. This feature is available with cord or cordless lift system.

Vertical or horizontal blinds offer the flexibility of tilt-ing the slats or vanes for the degree of privacy that is needed. If you have a second story window, you can tilt the slat upward so you have privacy from the ground level and still be able to see sky.

Light Control. Glare on your TV or computer? Semi-opaque blinds and shades can cut the glare without making your room a dark cave. Horizontal or vertical blinds allow you to redirect the light direction.

Room Darkening. If you like the option of sleeping in or during the day, room darkening blinds, shades and drap-eries are the answer. Some of our clients like the combi-nation of room darkening shades with draperies that are lined with blackout lining. You can cover your windows, sliding doors and skylights to darken your room.

Cordless Lift System for your Blinds & Shades. If you have children and/or pets in your home, cordless lift system, retractable cord system or motorized blinds and shades are a safe option. No more tangled cords!

T oday, there are many different styles, options and features for your windows and sliding doors. With so many details, it can become confusing, especially with different types of windows

and applications. Every home and workplace has unique needs and wants in addition to color schemes and styles.

Energy Savings. Whether it is the heat of summer or the cold of winter, your window treatments can help energy efficiency in maintaining the interior comfort of your home. Honeycomb blinds are a great option to cover your windows. Hunter Douglas carries a honeycomb blind call Duette Architella that has an excellent R Value. Blinds with slats or vanes will help with keeping the cold or

heat out when they are closed but a solid fabric blind such as a honeycomb is a superior option for insulating your windows.

If your windows are older and drafty, honey-

measurement ruin your investment. Let the window treatment experts take care of the details. Another benefit is getting help with the pros and cons of the many window treatment options. Leave the work of installing your new window treatments to the experienced installer.

Ready Made or Custom Made. Ready-made window treatments can be a chal-lenge. Fewer fabric choices and colors, limited sizes, less features, unlined/thin lining, and poor quality of fabric are some of the negatives. Readymade blinds and shades use plastic head rails and parts, which do not hold up over time.

Custom made window treatments are designed specifically for your windows. Offering thousands of fabrics and color choices, measured and made to the size and shape needed using many lining op-tions, and quality fabrics. Custom made blinds and shades use quality materials and parts that offer a warranty to protect your investment.

There are so many window treatment options today. From stationary panels on decorative rods or draw draperies to va-lances or cornices, offering multiple colors, patterns, and textures for your windows, bedding, and accessories. You may con-sider adding trims and band of color for a beautiful accent or a decorative rod which can be metal, painted or stained.

A fter the builder and crews complete your new addition or renovation, the finishing touches of window treatments,

furniture, and accessories need to be added to finish your “new” place. Just like a simple dress can look fabulous when you add the coordinating jewelry, shoes and purse, your house needs the finish-ing touches to make it a home.

the finishing touches

transforming your house into a homeThe three bedrooms in the photos (start-ing below and continued on the right) are from a local family’s home who wanted their new guest rooms to be inviting to friends and family during their stay. Instead of using a neutral carpet, a black and taupe patterned carpet was selected to create flow for all three areas. Each room has its own personality but they coordinate with each other via the carpet

color and pattern. Coordinating the win-dow treatments and bedding with a mix of complimentary fabrics and textures gives the room personality. The decora-tive rods and beautiful fabrics dress up the windows. Hunter Douglas blinds were used for privacy and for light and energy control. Mixing upholstered headboards with wood furniture adds character. No room is complete without the finishing touches of artwork, accessories, floral designs and lamps. When a room is completely decorated, it makes the room inviting to all who stay there.

The blue and green guestroom (above), from the Ware Mansion in Oxford, PA, was displayed during the Designer Showhouse this past spring. The mix of light and dark colors gives this room a rich contrast without being too pale or too heavy. Crystal, glass and mirrors were used to reflect the beautiful outdoors into the room. Each piece of furniture in this room has a different finish—metal bed, painted dresser, mirrored table and a stained pedestal table which is also hand painted. Working with the natural daylight from the windows, panels on decora-tive rods and flat Roman shades with ball fringe on the hem line enhance the

beautiful windows of the Ware Mansion. The walls were dressed up with a vintage, crackle-designed wallpaper, combining a spa blue background with taupe and metallic-gold vanes. While everything is coordinated to the eye, there is a lot of mix and match of fabrics, accessories

and furniture to give the room ample personality.
