See our commercial capabilities in new construction and remodel case studies. We offer a variety of windows and doors to meet your high-performance standards. When it comes to selecting a window treatment that suits your style, there are plenty of options out there — floor-to-ceiling drapery panels, between-the-glass blinds, Roman shades — but what about selecting the right window treatment that works well with not just your style, but also the types of windows in your home?
Because of the shape, size and function of different types of windows, there are some window treatment styles that are better suited than others. While many undergrads were taking it easy, Melissa Laymon started sewing her way to her own window treatment business. A few years later, Laymon found herself in a predicament.
As a stay-at-home mom with a working husband, she needed to find a way to help support their growing family that would also allow her to stay at home. One evening, visiting relatives commented on a Roman shade Melissa had made. As the relatives complimented her on the shade, they mentioned that they had priced some shades at a home improvement store, and the cost was unbelievable. After recognizing the need for affordable custom window treatments, Laymon went on to launch her own custom window treatment business called Window Treatments by Melissa in But most of all, I am grateful to our clients who provide us with enough business that my team of seamstresses and I can be at home and available to our children, where we can strengthen home and family.
I recently worked with Luna Grey Interiors on a project with gold linen fabric that I made into pleated draperies to hang on a track system. For example, if you want to use a gold metallic, I usually recommend it be used as a border along the bottom or top of curtains and on Roman shades. Pella : What treatments work best for each of the different types of windows?
Laymon : Even though custom window treatments can be made to unique window measurements, it does not mean that any style of treatment can work for any window. The direction the window opens needs to be taken into account. While a valance or curtain panels would be a good option for these types of windows, a Roman shade that mounts to the wall can also work.
This gives you more control over the amount of the window that gets covered. A Roman shade can be raised and lowered to a desired height. With an outside-mount Roman shade, you can mount it as high above the window as you want and be able to clear the window entirely for access and opening and closing.
A lovely way to accent single- and double-hung windows is to mount Roman shades or add curtains mounted between two pieces of trim. If the right amount of depth allows, inside-mount treatments work well for this type. Sliding windows should have outside-mount shades, curtains or valances.
Anything mounted inside will obstruct the function. If an inside-mount shade is desired, there would need to be about four inches of depth. I recommended that sliding window treatments be hung at least 4 to 6 inches above the frame. The recommended width depends on the style of treatments. An extra four inches of width would suffice for Roman shades. These mounting recommendations will ensure maximum light coverage and privacy coverage when your treatments are drawn.
If the treatments are just for decorative purposes and not for privacy or light blocking, a valance mounted above the frame would be a great option. Bow windows look best with curtain panels or valances on a curved rod.
Because Roman shades are mounted to a 2-by-1 block that cannot be curved, they are not an ideal style for bow windows. Soft treatments , such as drapery and fabric panels, are popular because they provide a frame for the window without interfering with its functionality and can be easily adjusted to keep a polished look whether the window is opened or closed. However, instead of or in addition to!
Roman shades give you a wide range of materials and colors to choose from, are extremely durable especially important for windows that get a lot of use and pair well with motorization and cordless installs to ensure maximum safety and convenience. You can also try framing your casement window with outside-mount layered shades for flexible and fashionable light and air control.
They pair extremely well with soft treatments, and can slip out of sight when not needed while giving you a range of options for light and privacy when required. This charming Craftsman classic style home has a large inviting front porch, original architectural details and woodwork throughout.
The original two-story 1, sq foot home was built in with 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Our design build project added sq feet to the home and 1, sq feet to the outdoor living space. This outdoor living space included a roof top deck and a 2 story lower deck all made of Ipe decking and traditional custom designed railings. In the formal dining room, our master craftsman restored and rebuilt the trim, wainscoting, beamed ceilings, and the built-in hutch.
The quaint kitchen was brought back to life with new cabinetry made from douglas fir and also upgraded with a brand new bathroom and laundry room. Throughout the home we replaced the windows with energy effecient double pane windows and new hardwood floors that also provide radiant heating.
It is evident that attention to detail was a primary focus during this project as our team worked diligently to maintain the traditional look and feel of the home. Vintage-Inspired Inglewood Cottage.
