Window Fashions for an Older Home
A common misconception regarding older homes is that options for window fashions are limited. In reality, the opposite is true—no matter the age or style of the home, you can find a wide variety of window fashions that will round out and enhance its interior look. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County and San Francisco, we carry the full line of Hunter Douglas window fashions, and we’ll be able to help you find just the right treatments for your older home.
A Classic Look
Soft and tailored, Roman Shades are available in several different folds, which can completely alter the look and feel of a room. Take Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, for example. They come in both full and flat folds, which helps make a room look more rounded or understated. Plus, they have no exposed rear cords, to provide a clean elegance. Another Roman Shade option, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades offer a natural appeal. They are made of woven reeds, grasses, woods, and bamboo, to provide organic style and texture.
Sleek Aesthetics
Clean and minimalist, roller shades blend with nearly any décor. They are available in numerous colors, patterns, and textures and provide smooth, flawless operation and minimal light gaps. Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades offer the simplicity of a roller shade combined with the energy efficiency of a cellular shade, something homes with older (leaky) windows might do well with. Their gentle curves offer visual interest, and they create softly diffused light throughout the space.
A Timeless Feel
Durable and sturdy, wood blinds and shutters hold a classic appeal. They bring warmth and personality through their natural grain finishes, color variations, and textures, and they can complement wood flooring or stained wood trim your older home might have. Available in over 50 colors in stains and paints that maintain their luster through the years, Parkland® Wood Blinds will add luxury to your room. Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds can bring the feeling of real wood into a home with the durability of composite materials—they are guaranteed to never yellow, fade, warp, or bow.
Softer Side
Whether on its own or layered with another window fashion, drapery can set the mood and bring sophistication to your room. With drapery, you might find your ceilings seeming taller and your windows seeming larger. Plus, drapery can complement your home’s heritage with its style and hardware.
