The World of Blinds & The Art of Window Dressing

hdpic

Custom window coverings have come so far in the last 10 years. With all the  high quality brands that we carry such as Hunter Douglas, Levolor, Shade-o-matic and more the options are endless. The basic roller shade is no more! Roller shades are now available with fun tapes, tassels and even Swarovski crystal elements. Can you imagine a beautiful white roller shade with Swarovski chain trim running across the bottom of the shade? Then top it all off with a unique star fish or baroque shaped Swarovski crystal dangling and sparkling as a pulley at the bottom of the shade.

Do you have unique style? Indulge in the exquisite textures and metallic finishes available with the Hunter Douglas Alustra collection. Alustra offers unique, distinctive details and custom combinations. This truly is a signature collection for those who seek out the best in design.

Not just an ordinary vertical blind anymore. With all the new options such as the Luminette Privacy Sheer from Hunter Douglas, the standard vertical has been elevated to a whole new level. The Luminette has the function and practicality of the original vertical but has soft vanes set between translucent sheers; bestow the privacy of soft draperies.

Make sure that you have no worry about your children or pets getting tangled up, or that you whether or not you will get that clean seamless look that the cordless blinds and shades can offer. Literally with the ease of a finger; raise and lower your blinds and shades without having any cords or chains hanging down.

Look at the Silhouette or Pirouette by Hunter Douglas to enjoy your view while still getting UV protection, light control & privacy. Open and close the vanes to allow you to have two different looks. Raise the shades completely into a sleek head rail and leave your windows totally open.

With all the products from blinds, shades and shutters enjoy the art of dressing your windows while still reaping the benefits of UV protection, energy savings and design.

Fabric Choice for Neat & Nautical

Neat & Nautical – Custom Bedding & Custom Drapery

Ahoy Matey! Looking to bring a little piece of the beach into your decor? Let down your anchor and set your sail..

Here’s a look that we put together for our customer who resides by the Lake. She wanted us to create a simple Nautical look that has a pop of colour, which remains Nautical yet Transitional. Using our fabric swatches, we created a custom bedding and custom drapery option to suit her needs and bring the beach indoors.

 

The Drapery is going to be subtle and functional but will still make a statement with the casual tuck pleat. Custom drapery will soften the edges of the window, add insulation, texture and dimension. Our customer made the right choice in choosing custom drapery for her window.

Featured Fabric: Alendel –  Coco Collection, Colour: Maritime Blue.

 

The Coverlet which is in a fabulous washable material will be lined in the same fabric making this coverlet reversible. With attention to detail being of top priority, the talented seamstresses that we work with are sure to make this bedding available for use for years to come.

Featured Fabric: Joanne Fabrics – Portland Collection, Pattern: Mark, Colour: 68J5881.

 

The neutral colour of the fabric for the Bedskirt breaks up the blue and completes this nautical look. The bedskirt will have a custom drop of 14″ and will sit at the right spot.

Featured Fabric: Joanne Fabrics – Portland Collection, Pattern: Eric, Colour: 91J5881.

 

To keep this look transitional and not overly nautical we chose an accent fabric that introduced yellow. Yellow is that PERFECT cheerful colour that will intensify this look! We plan on using the same fabric as the banding to make a couple of decorative shams.

*Featured Fabric: DuraLee Fullerston Collection – Pattern: 32353, Colour: 542 Blue/Yellow.

 

For nautical accents we will use a few decorative pillows from the Eastern Accents – Studio 773 Line, Ship – like the ones featured in this picture to complete this seaside sanctuary. Eastern Accents’ attention to detail and quality is top notch.. everything that we’ve ever ordered from Eastern Accents has been gorgeous and made with love.

 

We love putting together scenarios and fabric combinations for our customers. From creating storyboards to pulling a few fabric swatches together there is no job too big or too small for us at Blind Advantage. Custom bedding and custom drapery may be just what you need to get the look you are going for. Working alongside an amazing workroom we can create custom bedding and custom drapery options using the fabrics of your choice.
