As we looked back over the past year, we thought it would be fun to explore Window Covering Favorites for Reno area homeowners. Are you looking to do projects in your home in the coming year? Take a look at our list to see if you are loving any of these popular products, features or design trends…
1. Hunter Douglas Window Treatments
Coming in at number one for window covering favorites, it’s our Hunter Douglas window treatments, and we are not surprised. High quality, long-lasting durability and beautiful at the window, this brand sets the standard for style, innovation and operation.
2. Tilt Turn Solutions
Have you seen these European-style windows? They tilt in at an angle; they open in like doors. Tilt turn windows are an incredible way to access fresh air, along with the benefit of being easy to clean. Wildly popular, many homeowners wonder how to cover them. With our TrackGlide system, your shades move with the glass.
3. Motorization
We do work in a lot of homes throughout the Reno area. One thing many homes have in common is the high ceilings. The windows are hard-to-reach, oftentimes positioned way up at the second story. These vaulted ceilings can make it hard to adjust window coverings. Motorized Blinds create a great deal of function for hard-to-reach windows, making push button, or voice control, a simple solution.
4. Drapery
Fabrics at the window create soft beauty and frame the view. Custom drapery ensures that you get exactly what you want and need. Gorgeous prints and patterns, textures and fabric weight, all come together to create the perfect look and feel. No wonder this is one of our top window covering favorites.
5. Glass Door Solutions
Sliding doors, patio doors, french doors…they all offer access to our outdoor spaces, and they also act like large windows. What does that mean? The window treatments we choose for glass doors really need to factor those characteristics in, and they need to offer serious light control, privacy and energy efficiency.
6. Design Ideas
Sometimes, when you want to start a project, inspiration is what you need to get you started! Our design team at Blue Sky Shutters & Shades love offering design tips and product innovations to share. You might not realize it yet, but window treatment play a huge role in the style and atmosphere of your home, often providing the finishing touch. Visit the design blog to see what’s trending.
7. Floor to Ceiling Solutions
Filling your home with natural light and landscape views, large windows are a stunning part of your Reno area home. But, if you want to enjoy comfort and privacy, window coverings are necessary. How do you cover them for control, but still enjoy the characteristics you love? We’re glad you asked! Our team loves working with clients to achieve the right balance of natural light, views, energy efficiency and privacy.
8. Room Darkening Solutions
A good night of sleep…it’s what we are all dreaming of–pun intended! When you need to block the morning sun, you need serious solutions. Our room darkening blinds offer dynamic light control. However, we also know it’s not a one-size-fits-all scenario. That’s why you’ll see a range of products designed to control the light, from dual shades–that also allow light-filtering, to the Lightlock feature that seals out the light completely.
9. Minimalist Design
Our lives can be busy and chaotic. That’s why many homeowners are interested in minimalist design. It’s all about simplicity and paring down the amount of “stuff.” When you focus on clearing out the unnecessary, it can invite clarity and a feeling of openness.
10. NewStyle Shutters
Window shutters are quite popular here in Nevada–they have timeless style and provide just the right solutions. Light control and privacy are achieved with ease by adjusting the louvers, and the shutters themselves introduce energy efficiency to the home. The design elements, from white shutters to the look of stained wood, create the appeal. They’re organized, sophisticated and coordinate beautifully with other design elements in your home.
