Which window coverings are best and why?


Window treatments are often considered an afterthought?but they are of prime importance. They protect flooring, upholstery, and furnishings and add architectural interest to your home.

They block light, a big concern for those who live in hot and sunny Florida. After all, it's not unusual to see fading or even color changes. The right window covering will also provide quiet and increased privacy.

Shades, shutters, blinds?and more


Many window coverings include our custom curtains, draperies, verticals, valances, and hardware. We're going to focus on two prevalent ones here.

We love Roman shades because they offer the highest level of safety. These cascading fabric shades put the finishing touch on a room.

They have a cordless operating system that eliminates concerns about getting tangled. We know that, especially if you have kids or senior residents, that?s a huge concern.

You can also open and close them away from home, shielding the room from direct UV rays.

Best options for spaces


Some coverings can be bulky or get in the way of the furniture. The best options for tight spaces are Roman window blinds or shades.

The shades fold away for a light, airy, contemporary atmosphere. They don't take up room at the sides of the window, as curtains can. This makes the room look more spacious.

Roman blinds are great for picture windows. They also are energy saving!

Roman blinds are made from thick fabric and have thermal or blackout linings that keep out the sun's heat. They're available in various fabrics, textures, and colors.
