Whether you are thinking about covering a large picture window or a small window in a bath or hallway, there are options to bring beauty and the right design to any space.

Vertical shades can complete any room in a variety of colors, styles and textures. Honeycomb shades are popular for reducing energy costs by holding the cold or heat from the outside within the confines of the honeycomb design. Perfect for blocking out sunlight when needed and available with bottom or top roll, the amount of coverage is controlled by a simple side mechanism. Honeycomb shades also come in semi-sheer and semi-opaque textures for allowing a certain flow of light into a room.

Roman shades were first available in a dark, rigid form and could only be used in specific areas that allowed for the limited design. Today, you will find roman shades with the elegance of fine drapery and in light pleasing colors that compliment any room. No longer limited to sunrooms and porches, roman shades are a pure display of the clean, sharp lines that bring out the best of your windows.

New designer window panels and shadings are unlike anything you have seen in window shades. Combining the look of hard slats with sheer fabric designs, a living space can have the best of both worlds with sheer and opaque treatments built into one. When perfectly fitted to a window, the transformation of the outside is enjoyed through pleasing soft semi-sheer linen. During the evening, privacy is complete with the pull of a string that brings closure but still presenting the presence of sheers.

Vertical blinds are still a favorite for patio doors or long windows that require shade. The difference from yesterday however, is in the material and design to fit any setting. Many people prefer a sheer curtain that allows a certain amount of light into the room without the sun peaking through large gaps that vertical blinds have. This has now been addressed with privacy sheers that are built into vertical blinds to enhance any full-length window or set of French doors. You can have the sheer look that you desire plus the privacy mode that is needed. The solid colors, neutrals, pastels and soft hues will add a touch of prestige to any large window space without downplaying the room.

No longer are you limited to mini blinds or vertical blinds, dark Roman shades or pull down blinds that give a closed in feeling within a favorite room. Discover the new and exciting types of window treatments with shades that will add character and enhance your décor, whether open or shut.
