Project Overview: Unraveling the Window Woes
Problem A: Privacy and Room-Darkening in Bedrooms
Our recent project at a charming mountain lodge cabin in Flagstaff, AZ, presented unique challenges that called for creative window treatment solutions. The homeowners, seeking to enhance their second home, approached us with specific needs for privacy, room darkening, and aesthetic appeal.
Initially, the clients were interested in Roman shades for their bedrooms. However, we quickly identified a potential issue: the uneven wood beam frames around the doors would complicate the installation process. An outside mount installation would result in oversized, heavy shades that could become difficult to operate over time. Moreover, this mounting method would allow light to spill out from the sides, compromising the desired room-darkening effect.
Problem B: Softening the Kitchen's Look While Ensuring Privacy
In the kitchen, we faced a different challenge. The window’s position, far from the countertop, required a solution that would provide privacy while softening the overall aesthetic of the space.
Fabric Meets Function: The Strategic Window Solution
To address these challenges, we turned to the exquisite offerings from Carole Fabrics. Their high-quality materials proved perfect for both the drapery and Roman shade applications. We complemented these with Forest Drapery Hardware for the rods, ensuring a seamless and stylish installation. For added convenience in the kitchen, we incorporated Somfy motorization for the shade, blending functionality with modern technology.
Tailored Solutions for Mountain Lodge Elegance
Bedroom Drapery: A Touch of Luxurious Comfort
For the bedrooms, we proposed drapery as the optimal solution. This choice offered superior room-darkening capabilities while enhancing the cozy ambiance of the lodge. From a practical standpoint, drapery proved to be the most versatile option. We installed traversing rods, allowing the drapes to glide open and closed with ease. When drawn back, the drapery clears the door windows perfectly, enabling our clients to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views while still showcasing the beautiful wooden beams that give the lodge its distinctive character.
Kitchen Transformation: Motorized Roman Shades
In the kitchen, we recommended a motorized Roman shade treatment. This solution ensures effortless operation and is perfect for a window positioned at a height. The carefully selected Carole Fabrics material not only softens the space but also adds a touch of elegance that beautifully complements the client’s exquisite chandelier. The result is a kitchen that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.
Why We Stood Out: The House of Shades Difference
Our meticulous approach to this project set us apart from the competition. The clients, who had previously consulted with another company, were particularly impressed by our attention to detail. This level of care and precision in our proposal ultimately led them to choose House of Shades for their window treatment needs.
As we near the completion of this project, with just one room left to install, the clients have already expressed their satisfaction by pledging to leave a glowing review. Moreover, they’ve already recommended our services to their friends, a testament to the quality of our work and customer service.
