Metal mini blind
Hunter Douglas Luminette
2" wood blind with decorative cotton tapes
When I go to
see a customer and they don’t know what they want on their window, one
of the first questions I ask is “Do you want light control?” Usually
the answer is “yes”, especially if a television, computer or
strong sunlight is involved.
Verticals
are still one of the best treatments for sliding glass doors. They easily
draw off to the side and provide light control. They’re available in
various vinyl patterns, free hanging fabrics and fabric with a vinyl
backing. For a truly custom look, your fabric or wallpaper can be inserted
in vinyl groovers.
Wood
blinds are extremely popular right now. Besides the different slat sizes
and colors that are available, you also have the choice of real wood or
faux wood. The faux wood is warranted against warping, splitting, or
cracking. The new larger slat sizes are wonderful for that “shutter
look” in wood blinds. Colorful cotton tapes and wood valances are also
available for wood blinds.
There are several new products on the market that fall under blinds and shades. From Hunter Douglas, you’ll find the Silhouette – a fabric horizontal blind with a sheer fabric on the front and back or, the Luminette – a fabric vertical vane with an attached sheer fabric in front.
From
Superior Design Products, the soft, beautiful SoftView
Venetian Shades or the Ado wrap vertical – a room
darkening vertical wrapped in a sheer fabric. Vintage Interiors has
working samples and photos for all these new and exciting products. Call
