The beauty & benefit of Window Shades

Jan 24

Whether you love layers of drapery panels and elegant roomscapes, or clean and minimal aesthetics, you’ll find that roller and roman shades are incredibly dynamic, suitable window coverings.

Imagine this: you just invested hard-earned money into a new homoe, a remodel, now flooring, furniture, or artwork….you get the picture. Basically, you have a lot to protect, and those UV rays are endless. What’s the homeowner to do? We suggest opting for roller or roman shades, and today we are sharing 3 reasons why they should earn a place in your space.

1 | The Rays
Ultraviolent light can fade your furnishings, even on cloudy days. Unless your sofa is covered in Sunbrella or Crypton performance fabric (which would be amazing, but is unlikely), you'll be shocked and dismayed when you notice the significant color change in the fabric after just one year of UV light exposure.

Even if your windows are new and contain UV blockers, which are around 85% successful, you should still consider having shades installed.

2 | The Function

Some of you might live miles from your nearest neighbor down a long, winding driveway lined with trees. If so, you understand the UV ray issue but perhaps not the privacy concern. The rest of you might be experiencing the polar opposite:

A bustling suburban area with busy streets and equally busy neighbors.

Support your family's need for privacy without taking away the natural light entering your home. Both roller and Roman shades can easily conceal what you want to protect while allowing light to filter through.

With manual, cordless, and motorized options, your shades will be functional for all stages of life and suitable for the smallest to the tallest of windows.

These roman shades are made from a beautiful stripe fabric and are motorized so with a push of a button this family can control the amount of sun shining in during mealtime.

3 | The Beauty

Designer shades come in a seemingly endless variety of colors, patterns, and textures. As with any other window treatment, shades are meant to enhance and complete your interior design.

If your space feels a bit "off" it might simply be due to a lack of window coverings or perhaps some outdated treatments. Dress your windows in modern luxury by applying shades as a standalone covering or pair them with drapery panels.

Our specialty is consulting with you to help you select the right window treatments and styles for each room in your home or place of business. We look forward to helping you protect, improve, and beautify your space.

Automated roller shades which open and close at different times of the day to optimize best times of the day for UV protection and energy efficiency. This home has 9 very large ceiling to floor windows which would take a long time to manually open and close 2+ times a day. So, motorization is a huge time saver as well as functionally perfect for keeping light coming in and adding privacy.
