Who Knew that
Money-Saving,
Energy-Efficient Custom Window Fashions Could
Be So Beautiful, Too!

With the cooler months just around the corner, accompanied by possibly record-breaking heating and cooling bills, wouldn’t this be a great opportunity to beautify your home with money-saving, energy-efficient custom window coverings? And I’m not talking about the clumsy, dark or old-fashioned looking thermal coverings of the past. Let’s instead talk about the advanced, high-technology, high “R” value rated marvels that have come along in the last few years. These products highlight your windows, allow variable amounts of outdoor view, and still keep the warmth you want inside, and the cold you want, outside!

Blinds, Shades, Draperies and Shutters to keep you warm!

A simple solution to improve drafty rooms is to layer high R-rated fabrics and materials over or under existing window coverings. If you already have beautiful custom window fashions in place, how about new, vaned cellular blinds for a layer of heat transfer-stopping beauty. These blinds come in myriad light-controlling densities and color options certain to accent your windows while working hard to save you energy dollars. Other innovative shades and blinds and shutters also offer a vast improvement in heat-retention around your windows, and provide an added layer of beauty as well. Ask me about the incredibly gorgeous, high thermal quality fabrics and linings now available in creating custom draperies for your home. You simply won’t believe that such beautiful materials can also save you money, even in the short term.

Window Décor Tip of the Month:

Bringing nature indoors is always a good way to add color and flair to your rooms, and your windows are the best place to start. Look outside any of your windows, and find a small tree branch, or shrub or flower you can trim and place in a vase of water (or without, if already dried), then place the vase in front of or near the window. A simple arrangement of greenery, or even twigs artfully displayed, that also appear just outside the window brings mother nature into your rooms, adding a dimension of beauty that you can change every week!

Save energy dollars now!

With energy costs going through the ceiling (AND out the windows!), this is the best time to invest in cost-containing, energy-efficient custom window fashions. I know so many amazing solutions for virtually every window type and room, you won’t even have to do any homework to get the best solutions for your rooms. Plus, I come to YOU, so you save gas and the time it takes having to shop around for what might or might not be good for your home needs. Call me today… I’ll bring a full array of beautiful, energy efficient options for your viewing, and we’ll work within your budget to make your home even more beautiful… and more comfortable.

During the cooler nights of fall and spring, most people like to sit at home with the windows open and enjoy the freshness of the outside within the safety and confines of their beautiful homes. This sought after feeling of relaxation oftentimes is interrupted by the “worldly” sounds of neighbors and nearby roadways which forces us to once again recluse ourselves in order to hopefully find the much desired peace of mind. Issue is also taken with the unwelcome brightness which is out of our control unless we have the proper window treatment which can help us regain the peaceful setting we deserve. These aforementioned conditions can be partially alleviated by the installation of cellular shades. Unique to cellular shades is the pocket of air within the cells which muffles outside sounds and with the advent of light blocking materials, light control can be added to the list of benefits cellular shades are able to provide. The selection of the right cellular shade for a particular room in your home or office which requires meeting certain criteria according to specific requirements is complicated by the large quantity of materials available. One would think that the greater the selection the easier the process, but the opposite is the reality. There many styles and hundreds of colors to choose from. Many questions arise during this process - What is the best color? Do I need light/sun control? Should I choose single or double cell? Should the cellular shade be installed inside or outside of the window frame? One shade or two shades for double windows? Does the facing direction of the window make a difference? Is privacy an issue? We will try to cover most of these questions in this article as we move forward.

Do you live on a busy street? Do you have a lot of hard surfaces in your home? Properly planned window treatments can be a wonderful addition to your enjoyment of your home by dampening or reducing sound transmission. There are a number of products available today that can reduce the sound travelling into the home from outside or coming from other areas of the home.

Draperies are a great choice, but other products like Duette Honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas can reduce sound transmission as well.
