The Elegant and Efficient Window
If you are looking for a soft and airy window treatment design that diffuses sunlight, custom sheers may be the ideal solution. Direct sunlight into the home can damage furniture, carpeting, and fabric. It is important to protect these interior items from fading and discoloration with decorative sheers and draperies.The style and application you choose depends on the needs of your space.
Sheers look good standing alone or under your favorite drapery. Sheers are usually made from a lightweight, loose weave fabric, and more commonly appear as panels, tiers or valances depending on the look you are going for.
Custom draperies are available in a variety of designs to accommodate any style or function. Much like sheers, custom draperies prevent unwanted light and are a beautiful addition to any room. Standard lining will block out most of the light when the draperies are drawn closed, or they can be lined with black out lining which will not let any light in- ideal for those late sleepers!
For a fuller, more traditional drapery look inner lining can be added; this lining is placed between the decorative fabric and the main lining, which creates more protection from the sun. Tie backs can also be used in this application when the drapes are open. The gathered look of draperies on either end of a window adds drama and interest to any space.
Roman shades provide a decorative valance when open and defuse light when the shades are lowered. Roman shades can be opaque, blackout, or sheer to provide the desired amount of privacy. This design also offers superior light control, heat reflection and insulation, while creating a decorative way to block out unwanted harsh sunlight. Beading or decorative trim at the bottom of a roman creates a whimsy addition.
Hardwired, battery operated, or manual draw drapes are available for all drapery options including sheers, draperies, and roman shades. Hardwired window treatments are ideal when ease and versatility are required. There are no cords or chains so large windows can easily be covered with automatic draperies at the touch of a button.
A designer can recommend the perfect sunlight control option for your home or office. Get started today and beat the heat just in time for summer.
