Window Treatment Ideas

We all want our homes to be a paradise – a beautiful oasis of peace amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives.  Allowing the natural sunlight to bathe each room is a great way to make our home a comfortable nest.  Choosing the right window coverings is critical for allowing the amount of sunlight you want in each room.

Wooden blinds, shutters and blackout draperies are great for rooms with extreme exposure to the elements.  Other options for windows with less exposure to the sun can be covered with shadings, sheers and lighter weight drapery fabrics.  Both options can also provide the privacy that you need.

Visit our website, www.carolscustomdraperies.hdwfg.com to learn more about the solutions we offer.  We also invite you to visit our showroom, a Hunter Douglas Gallery dealer just north of Dallas/Ft. Worth in Denton. The address is 112 W. Oak Street on the historic downtown Denton square.  We leave no stone unturned to provide you with the best possible solution for your needs.

Buying Window Treatments

I have always believed in being a “smart buyer,” someone who doesn’t buy products or services on a whim or just because a neighbor or an acquaintance bought something flash and I should be jealously obliged to follow suit. When it comes to treating the windows, one should always buy a drapery or shade for the right reason.

There are various reasons why a serious buyer goes window treatment shopping:

• The most popular reason for covering the window is for temperature control.  Hunter Douglas Duette Architella shades can be highly effective in controlling the heat loss or heat gain of a room without having to spend money on expensive air cooling equipment.
•  People also buy window treatments for privacy and security reasons.

Apart from other reasons, aesthetics should be kept in mind.  Color and texture should reflect the mood and style of the room.  Accent your windows with valances and stationary panels beautifully displayed on decorative drapery rods.  This could also be a good place to bring color into an otherwise monochromatic setting.

In the near future, our blog will feature articles that will enhance your awareness of different aspects of window treatments. Please visit again and share your experiences with your window treatments. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to share them below. We love to hear from you, our customers.

Spring Decorating with Hunter Douglas

Can It Be Spring? Well, it seems that spring has just turned the corner with all the beautiful weather we are having. I have even seen daffodils popping up around town. Let’s hope that old man winter does not stick his head around the corner again. So, let’s start thinking spring and all the beautiful colors that it brings inside our homes as well as in our gardens. My friend Sally Morse from Hunter Douglas has the opportunity each year to go to the textile markets in Paris and Germany. She always takes such wonderful pictures. From the pictures see has sent me, this spring will bring very bright and exciting colors. WOW! It’s like flowers popping out all over the place. Pink, orange, teal, green and yellow are showing up in pillows, lamps, bedding, candles, artwork and in decorative pieces for your tables, bookshelves, sofa’s, chairs and mantles. As this picture shows, the colors are also showing up in table settings for your kitchen and dining room. Sally also says that we will still see last year’s neutral color greige ( a mix of taupe and gray), blacks, browns, as well as true gray tints. Mixing these neutral colors with some of the bolder statement colors will create an exciting new look for this season. These new colors will also be seen in fashions too. Next time you are in your favorite dress shop look for these beautiful colors not only in dresses, tops and pants but in shoes, handbags and accessories. I recently shopped a Chico’s in Florida and the most popular color I saw was a beautiful teal blue. Yes, visions of spring are in the air. Start planning for Spring right now. As a matter of fact, use some of these colors for your garden. Oh, spring come quickly. I’m excited. Do you need inspiration for bringing Spring into your home? Why not give us a call at Carol’s. Our staff is trained and ready to assist you. Our number is 940-565-8337. We look forward to your call. And, as always - Happy Decorating.
