Windows are the eyes of a room. Dress them well and the whole space looks taller, softer and more finished. Dress them badly and even beautiful furniture can’t save it.
Von has specified window treatments for decades, and the sign in her old showroom window said it plainly: Want shutters? Call Von. The offer still stands, now at your house. She considers the light, the view, privacy, energy efficiency, safety and the architecture before she recommends drapery, shutters, shades or blinds, and she makes sure the hardware and the hanging height do the room justice.
Window treatments
- Custom drapery: lined, interlined or sheer; pinch pleat, ripplefold or grommet; hung high and wide so windows look generous.
- Plantation shutters: timeless, durable and excellent for adjustable privacy and light.
- Shades: Roman, cellular (honeycomb) for insulation, roller, solar and blackout.
- Blinds: wood and faux-wood for clean lines and easy light control.
- Hardware: rods, finials, rings and tiebacks scaled to the room, plus cordless and motorized options for safety and convenience.
The final layer
Finishing touches
The last ten percent of a project is what visitors remember: art placed at the right height and in the right groupings, lamps that make the evening glow, a table set with collected stemware and vintage flatware, a vase of the right size in the right spot.
