Yesterday I received a catalog in the mail from Smith and Noble. I love to receive their catalog, because I feel that they have done a great job of staying on top of fashion trends. I was disappointed in this issue, because nothing really seemed new. For some reason, I decided to compare the price for a Smith and Noble shade to what I could sell a comparable product for; and I was amazed!

Our regular discounted prices for just about every product I compared was lower or the same than from the catalog! And our price included measuring and installation! I can’t believe that I never took the time to compare our prices to theirs. I know our quality is better, or at the least the same, (there is not much difference in basic roller shade fabrics). And our price comes with our expertise! So, go ahead, call us today for a free in home consultation, choose the fabrics and options you want using real samples, not pictures! And we will come back to install your treatments. Our installers are professionals who only install window treatments, you don’t have to worry about some carpet installer reading the directions.

Window treatments can transform even a mundane window into the focal point of the space. An eye catching pattern or color can draw attention to this area. Window treatments can be treated as a work of art, so be creative and have fun. You can add tassels, flowers or beads. Anything to make it more creative or to fit your particular taste. If you don’t like it or change your mind, you can always take it down and replace it with something else that works!

Window treatments can reflect both your home’s architecture and your personal style. Window treatments lean more toward simple straight lines. But many of these treatments are being made with luxury fabrics such as velvet, damask and even fur and leather. Using treatments to reduce glare such as sheers can be helpful if the room gets an excessive amount of sunlight.

Draperies are definitely a decorative addition to any room and they tend to be longer than curtains and produced with velvet or cotton (heavy fabrics). A valance is a fabric covering that goes around the curtain rod and they come in many different styles including roman, waterfall valances, blouson, pinch pleat, or box.
