Comfort from Morning to Night

"About 30% of a home's heating energy is lost through windows. In cooling seasons, about 76% of sunlight that falls on standard double-pane windows enters to become heat. Window coverings can help with this loss of energy by providing comfort, regulating temperatures, and lowering energy bills."

1. Evaluate Your Needs

Privacy: Semi-opaque shades may be ideal in some rooms, while others benefit from opaque or blackout options. Consider privacy needs in bedrooms, bathrooms, and other key spaces.

Light Control: Do you want total darkness in the morning, or do you prefer soft, filtered sunlight to start your day?

Energy Efficiency: Honeycomb motorized shades provide extra insulation for windows, helping keep your rooms cooler during summer and warmer in winter.

Safety: If you have young children or pets, consider cordless, motorized blinds to reduce the risk of strangulation or choking hazards.

2. Compare Room Types

Living Rooms: Enjoy natural light while keeping your privacy intact with sheer curtains or drapes that softly filter sunlight.

Bedrooms: Maximize privacy and block out light for a restful night’s sleep with motorized blackout curtains or cellular honeycomb shades.

Kitchens: Wood blinds and Roman shades are practical and stylish choices for kitchens, offering easy-to-clean surfaces.

Bathrooms: Choose moisture-resistant options like vinyl shades or faux wood blinds for durability and easy maintenance in bathroom spaces.

3. Choose Your Aesthetic

Modern: Love modern design? Consider shades with clean lines and sleek designs. Roller shades, panel track blinds, and cellular shades in minimalist fabrics, neutral tones, or metallic finishes perfectly complement a contemporary look.

Traditional: For a classic interior, use rich textures and deeper hues. Elegant Roman shades, drapery, or wood blinds add a touch of sophistication. Silk, velvet, or brocade drapes with tassels or trim create a luxurious feel.

Rustic/Farmhouse: Smart shades don't have to feel high-tech. Embrace a rustic cabin or farmhouse vibe with natural materials like wood blinds, woven wood shades, or bamboo. Layering shades adds warmth and coziness to your space.

Eclectic: Express your creativity with motorized shades in bold patterns, vibrant colors, and different opacities. Balance these design elements with neutral accents to maintain a harmonious, unique style.

Industrial: For a polished industrial look, pair exposed brick, pipes, and metal features with metal blinds, wooden shutters, or roller shades in neutral or monochrome tones.

4. Consider Materials and Durability

Moisture Resistance: For moisture-prone spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, opt for vinyl, faux wood, or aluminum that resist warping and mold and look great for years.

Sunlight and UV Protection: In sunny rooms, shield your furnishings from fading with fade-resistant solar shades or curtains that automatically lower to block harmful UV rays.

Insulation: Cellular (honeycomb) shades feature air pockets for added insulation, helping keep your North Carolina home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Thermal curtains are another great option for maintaining indoor temperatures.

Ease of Cleaning: For easy maintenance, choose synthetic shades that can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Curtains and other fabrics might need more frequent laundering or professional cleaning.

Safety and Durability: Choose cordless, motorized window treatments to eliminate hazards for children and pets. For high-traffic areas, select durable materials designed to withstand everyday wear while looking just as stunning.
