Which fashion you choose is largely dependent on the room that you are decorating. In a kitchen, your focus may be on ample ventilation, durability in terms of heat and humidity, and ease of cleaning. However, in a dining room, you may want to concentrate on soft illumination and elegance for entertainment. A living room might need draperies to protect the furniture from sun damage and fading, while bedroom fashions place more emphasis on privacy, safety, and light control, to prevent the rising son from waking the household.

What is your style? There are so many ways to express yourself. Warm and comfortable looks are created by wood shutters, honey comb shades and natural looking fabrics. If you're looking to create a casual style, choose colors and textures that put you at ease. A contemporary fashion can be created by clean lines, like in blinds or shades, while silhouettes or draperies gracefully fashion an elegant look. Metallic surfaces create distinct bold, theatrical statements, while sheers present a feeling of luxury.

While you always want shades to look beautiful and complement a room, you never want to forget that these window fashions actually need to serve a purpose: depending on what that may be will also play a factor in the type of style and operating system you choose.

If you're looking to create a comfortable room, not just in look but in temperature, honeycombs are a great energy efficient option. For extra insulation, you can purchase honeycomb- within- a- honeycomb design to save even more money and waste less energy.

The many innovative lifting options, such as multiple windows controlled with one remote, provide for smooth and easy operations. Advanced systems also include power rise, power glide, in which the veins are rotated, and power tilt, to easily tilt slats. These systems run on infrared communication and radio control. In addition, depending on your needs, you can choose the direction in which the shades open, top down or bottom up.

Light is a wonderful thing. But sometimes, we just want to control it. Various window fashions, such as sheers and silhouettes, allow us to remove the glare without blocking the light, providing us with the best of both worlds.

Your home has a beautiful view of nature's bounty. Why not enjoy it? With blinds, shades, and gliding panels, you can have the ultimate in view through and take pleasure in your delightful surroundings.

When small children are around, many parents opt for an automated system, which can be operated with a remote control or wall button, or retractable cords, to minimize cord hazards and dangerous situations.

When you'd like to turn your home into a private abode, silhouette window shadings or privacy sheers are a wonderful, elegant option, as they softly diffuse light when in the open position, but close to completely block out the outside world.
