Certain design elements can instantly change the whole look of a space. That’s absolutely true of window treatments. We’ve got three room transformations that you simply have to see to believe!
The Fish Bowl
Do you ever feel yourself torn between: I love this view…AND I feel so uncomfortable. That’s what happens when you have floor to ceiling windows without any window shades. Let’s break down the problems this gorgeous condo is facing.
- Relentless Glare and Hot Spots
- Terrible Fading of Furniture, Rugs and Flooring
- No Nighttime Privacy
Top Down Shades to the Rescue
We love how the top down feature can offer so much of what you love while keeping you comfortable. You still get an abundance of natural light. You could even open one entire wall of shades–for the city views–while closing off the other side. And, when it comes to the design, how amazing are these roman shades with the black trim windows???
Morning Comes Way Too Early
Your bedroom might face the most beautiful, private view. But, no matter how much privacy you have, or how lovely the landscape, there’s nothing quite like sleeping in when you have the chance. Or, closing out the world on a Sunday afternoon to marathon your favorite shows from the comfort of your bed. Problematic features to solve:
- Early Morning Sunshine
- No Privacy at Night
- Glare-filled Space
- Furniture and Flooring Fades Over Time
The Peaceful Sanctuary
It’s our next example of room transformations! The low profile of the roller shades and vertical shades make this contemporary bedroom a designer space, but now everything is just “softer.” You can still enjoy the benefits of a beautiful landscape, natural light and all the space around your windows. We love how the gliding panels work so well for sliding doors and large windows, while coordinated fabrics are used for the roller shades at the adjacent window. And, when Sunday morning comes around, you’ll love having room darkening features.
You Can Have It All…Almost
Here’s the thing about bare windows: If you don’t have any window coverings, you can’t enjoy your home fully. If you have bare windows, you can enjoy a lot of what this space offers, but NOT all of it.
- Beautiful Views (Also a View In from the Outside–Yikes)
- Stunning Architectural Features (These Can Be Enhanced, Not Taken Away)
- Abundant Natural Light (Flooding Light, Relentless Glare, Hot Temps, Faded Furnishings–Oh, My)
No, Really. You Can Have It ALL.
These woven wood shades instantly elevate the design of the space. They filter the light so it’s not harsh. They keep the light from heating up your space or filling it with glare. They adjust easily so you can enjoy the view when you want. You can FINALLY relax. Keep one side of the room uncovered for the features you love when the sun is too harsh on the other side.
What’s important to remember about window shades is they are adjustable! Even more so, the ease and convenience of automated shades means you can experience your own room transformations with a tap on a remote, on a schedule, or even with a voice command to Alexa.
