| The Basics |
| Step 1 - Decide What Your Windows Need |
- The addition of blinds or shades can maintain your privacy, deflect light, control the temperature of a room, soak up noise - and season your decorating scheme with all sorts of flavor. Begin by asking, "What do want your windows to do for you?" We suggest browsing our catalog and matching the fabric, finish, style, and/or color to your needs. Experiment with different combinations for different effects: comfort or formality, softness or shadow, and so on. Then order swatches to make sure that the treatment, color, finish, and accessories you choose work for your project.
