How We Design Custom Window Treatments For Function & Aesthetics
No room design is complete without window treatments. Views are enhanced by treatments that frame, but do not cover the exposed glass. Function must lead and style follows. You may need privacy or light control. Through strategic placement, window treatments can also correct compositional problems and enhance the beauty of a room.
Step #1: Pair Elegant Treatments for Function
We do not suggest overdressing your windows! Fussy swags, poufs and jabots are out. Nothing is more elegant that a simple French rod and full-length drapery panels paired with a woven wood roman shade. This gives you a privacy layer and a room darkening layer.
Draperies add softness, pattern, texture and height to a room. They balance the visual weight of a room full of heavy furniture.
Step #2: Strategically Balance the Room
A valance over a roman shade can add another layer of pattern, and placed high, can compositionally balance the furniture below. We have filled awkward gaps and mismatched windows by draping an entire wall between windows for a cohesive, elegant look.
Step #3: Choose Your Favorite Finishes
We love to use a beautiful embroidered trim on the leading edge of a drapery or roman shade.
Motorization can help move large shades and draperies effortlessly. With one touch of a button, motorization can also move multiple treatments in a room or even a whole house
Making an Impact with Window Treatments
Sometimes overlooked or avoided, window treatments are the single largest design move you can make to enhance the beauty and function of your home. Get away from industrial mini-blinds that distract from the beauty of your home and add texture, color, pattern and function to your windows. Our portfolio is a great place to look for some beautiful inspiration.
