Fresh Window Treatment Ideas, Salt Lake City, Utah

Roman Shades

Tailored Roman shades are the perfect option for traditionally styled spaces. Since they have simple, sleek lines, they also work in contemporary rooms. Designer Phyllis Harbinger says this about her window treatment choice, "Elegant silk Roman shades with glass-bead trim adorn the windows. Not wanting to deter from the architecture of the space, custom-designed hand-carved corbels for the drapery panels frame the fabulous Palladian windows."


Floor-to-Ceiling Drapes

Floor-length drapes are simple, classic and make any space look more sophisticated. Designer Shelly Riehl David says this about her window treatment choice, "Custom elaborate draperies with imported trim are tied on handpainted medallions to frame the beautiful view of the lakeside."


Balloon Shades

Billowing balloon shades give the effect of graceful, flowing draperies while remaining enclosed in the window frame. Designer Sue Adams highlights a perfectly pink French country space with floral-printed balloon draperies.


Swag

Designer Ammie Kim says this about her window treatment choice, "This gorgeous living room's focal point is the Kingston-style valance, with a touch of sheer swags, which creates an elegant feeling in this space that features lovely views of the pool and golf course."

Comparison: Blinds vs. Shades

What is the difference between blinds and shades? You may be familiar with the terms blinds or shades but y ou may be wondering what the main differences are between each.  What are the pros and cons of each? Here are a few tips to help you narrow down the selection process... Basically, blinds are window coverings made up of individual slats. They can be completely raised for an unobstructed view or, when lowered, the slats can be rotated to let in more or less light. Shades, on the other hand, are made from single panels of fabric or woven wood rather than slats, so they can only be raised or lowered to achieve light control and privacy.  Blinds come in both horizontal and vertical slats or louvers and have the primary function of controlling the amount of light coming through. There are many types of shades with unique functional benefits from light diffusion to energy efficiency, along with a variety of design options and much more.  So What Do I Choose? Blinds?
