Elevate Your Home’s Elegance With Premium Shutters & Blinds

When it’s time to decorate (or redecorate) your home, you have a lot of different design elements and concepts to consider. Many homeowners end up completely overlooking their home’s window treatments. However, window treatments can become the focal point of almost any room. The right plantation shutters, blinds, curtains, and drapes can make a room appear larger than it is. Choosing elegant, high-quality shutters and blinds can serve a functional and aesthetic purpose and add visual interest and texture to a room. If you’re looking for ways to elevate your home’s interior design aesthetic, here are just a few ways to do so using premium shutters and blinds.

Merge Style, Function, & Design With Custom Window Treatments

When you begin creating interior design ideas for each room of your home, you are probably considering what each element looks like and how they will fit together to create a cohesive design and harmonious appearance. Many homeowners neglect function because they are too focused on style and design, and they end up with window treatments that look beautiful but don’t work well, aren’t durable, can’t be cleaned, and only serve one purpose. There is a way to successfully merge style, function, and design with custom window treatments. Custom window treatments can block out harsh UV rays, offer privacy control, allow you to completely customize the level of natural light in a room, reduce fading of upholstery and carpeting, and look beautiful. You just have to know how to assess the best features of each type of window treatment and understand how each one should be used. When picking out your window treatments, consider these tips:

• Don’t use blackout or room-darkening window treatments in common rooms like living rooms or family rooms.
• Layer window treatments to create functional and stylish design elements.
• Consider installing honeycomb shades or cellular blinds in bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas for improved energy efficiency, light filtering, insulation, noise reduction, privacy, and UV protection.
• Install plantation shutters or hardwood shutters in bedrooms and bathrooms for improved safety, privacy, light filtering, UV protection, and room darkening.
• Blackout roller shades can control light and glare, provide privacy, and protect against UV rays in dens, home offices, and entertainment rooms.

The Art of Layering: Mixing Premium Blinds & Window Shutters

One of the best-kept secrets of professional interior design is that you can use layering to create unique, inspirational window treatments that combine beauty and function. Layering window treatments allows you to use interior design to truly reflect your unique style and aesthetic and also offers maximum control over the privacy, natural light, glare, and UV light in each room. When you layer your window treatments, you are combining more than one type of custom window treatment on each window. For instance, you could combine cellular shades or honeycomb blinds, draperies, two different colors or patterns of window curtains, or premium blinds and window shutters. Layering creates depth and interest, enhances the aesthetics of the room, and offers more control over privacy and natural light. When you layer more than one window treatment on a window, you should consider:

• Your personal style and aesthetics.
• The room’s purpose and how changing the level of natural light will affect that purpose.
• How much sunlight the room gets each day.
• The size of the room and number of windows – using floor-to-ceiling drapes or heavy window treatments can overwhelm a small room and make it seem claustrophobic.
• The best way to enhance the room’s beauty through custom, gorgeous window treatments that improve the aesthetic but also serve more than one purpose.
• The color scheme of the room and competing patterns at play.
• Choosing the right window hardware and accessories to complement the surrounding decor and elevate your window treatment even further.
