Many people like to cover their windows with beautiful custom drapery. Others prefer the simplicity of a blind or shade. Soft and hard window treatments each have their own features and benefits. Sometimes, combining those features can produce a gorgeous window covering combination. Draperies that are used with other window coverings add warmth and depth to any room while still giving you complete control over light and privacy. At Value Blind and Heirloom Draperies serving Northern Virgina, we offer custom drapery services as well as the complete Hunter Douglas line. Look below for some ways to combine draperies and top treatments with various Hunter Douglas window treatments.
Provenance Woven Wood Shades
Woven wood shades are made from natural woods, reeds, bamboo and grasses that allow light to softly filter into the room. The natural look of woven wood shades provides casual ambiance that goes with any decor.
- Add draperies to the sides of woven wood shades that you can close when the sun is intense or you want full privacy.
- Select neutral colors and patterns to complement the natural beauty of woven wood shades.
- Add a valance above your woven wood shades to highlight the color scheme in your room.
Parkland® Wood Blinds
People love the beauty of natural wood blinds. With adjustable louvers, wood blinds can be tilted to allow as much light as you would like in the room. Their somewhat heavy appearance, though, can come off looking stark.
- Add a fabric top treatment to soften the look of your windows and accent the natural wood blinds.
- Add a wood cornice to blend your wood blinds with any home décor.
- Add drapery panels in any color, style, texture or pattern to highlight your wood blinds.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Honeycomb shades provide a clean appearance in your window and are the most energy efficient hard window treatment on the market today.
- Add a fabric cornice, valance or top treatment will cover the headrail and provide a more finished look.
- Add draperies or drapery panels to honeycomb shades mounted inside the window frame to stop light coming in from the sides of the shade.
- Add draperies or drapery panels to honeycomb shades mounted on the outside of your window to cover the hard sidelines of the shade and create a more refined appearance.
