Window Treatments

Before deciding on a window treatments, determine how much privacy is needed in the room. If privacy is not a concern and you like the look of open windows with lots of light shades, shutters or blinds would work well.

Balloon Shades: Fabric shades with deep inverted pleats that fall into airy, rounded poufs at the bottom.


Shutters: Wood or Vinyl mounted to sides of window frame. Solid or Louvered style to open slats for light control.


Roller Shades: Shades made of vinyl or fabric attached to spring rollers, mounted to the inside window casing or the window frame.


Roman Shades: Drawn up from the bottom by means of cords and rings, these shades create horizontal folds when raised.


Shirred Curtains: Curtains stretched tightly and gathered on rods at both the top and the bottom.


Venetian Blinds: Blinds made of metal or wooden slats, attached to cloth tape, and worked by a cord on a pulley system, and available in many widths, colours, and sizes. Blinds provide excellent light control while allowing some view to the outside.
