Adding Shades to Your Home
Throughout the process of redesigning your windows, you will likely be wondering what the best fit is for these all-important spaces in your home. As these areas can work to catch your eye or seamlessly tie a room together, how you decide to decorate them can instantly affect the energy of a room. At Classic Blinds and Designs, we can help you learn a bit more about all of your options as you begin thinking about adding shades to your home.
One of the things that you may want to consider when redoing your window treatments is introducing shades to your residence. With several unique types, these can be wonderful additions to any type of room. The first kind that you might want to think about when adding shades to your home is a roman shade. With elegant drapery folds, these timeless pieces can be great in rooms ranging from minimalist to modern. The internal lift cords also keep the appearance looking streamlined, while also offering additional safety for children and pets.
The next option that you could consider when adding shades to your home is a roller shade. With a wide range of colors and patterns, you can easily customize these window treatments so that they are exactly what you are looking for. These also have a crisp, sophisticated appearance.
If you are intentionally seeking a way to add energy efficiency to a room, honeycomb shades could be a perfect fit. Due to the special design, the distinct pockets keep warm air out in the summer and cold air at bay in the winter. Adding shades to your home can therefore also be a great tool when it comes to lowering your monthly energy bills and consumption.
Finally, if you favor an earthier aesthetic, woven woods could be the right answer for your design goals. Made from naturally occurring materials such as grasses, bamboos, and reeds, these impressive window coverings can gently filter light into any space. With the wide variety of textures, there is something to fit all of our customers’ needs as well. Adding shades to your home gives you flexibility at each step of the process due to the interesting differences between each type of shade.
If you would like to find out more about adding shades to your home, feel free to reach out. Visit us at our showroom or call ahead to make an appointment if you are interested in beginning your design journey. Our phone number is (770) 924-0282. Once you call, we can then work with you to schedule an appointment.
As we can offer any extra assistance that may be needed to those who reside the entire north Atlanta metro area, including Alpharetta, Milton, and Johns Creek, GA. Contact us today to begin adding shades to your home. We look forward to beginning the journey with you.
