Shutters and Blinds can be a great way to provide privacy to rooms that have large windows or ones that need the most privacy like bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. Shutters and Blinds are also great because they are customizable to fit your exact window size and design, allowing you to get the perfect look and fit for your home, while still providing that privacy you need.

Roller Shades are made for Big Windows, because they are available in very wide sizes and easy to install. Motorized Blinds and Shades, are perfect for the person who wants to be able to control the privacy of their home via a remote or via an app on their phone. You can use the app to lower and raise the shutters and shades of your home via app or connect to your Smart Home Device(bridge).
Protect from Sun Damage
Awnings and Shades not only provide privacy, but they are also a great way to protect your furniture, floors, and walls from sun damage. Sunlight can fade the colors of your furniture and cause the colors of your walls to yellow over time. Awnings and Shades can be used to block out the sun’s UV rays and help keep your furniture and walls looking new. They are also great for keeping the temperature in your home comfortable as well!
We recommend Awnings, Roller Shades, and Honeycomb Shades.
Awnings are the perfect outdoor shade. Whether you are outside enjoying the pool and want shade, or want to protect your furniture on the inside of your house from sun degradation, Awnings are the perfect compliment to protect what you value most. Rollers Shades block out the sun from entering your windows and protect the furniture as well. It also blocks out the glare while you are trying to watch tv. Honeycomb shades are the perfect blend of protection, fashion, and Money Savings.

Add Finishing Touches
Window Coverings can also be used to add finishing touches to any room in your house. They can be used to match your color scheme, add texture, and create a certain mood in the room. If you are looking for something more modern, choose shades that come in bright colors or prints. Or if you’re looking for something more classic, choose shutters with wood stains. There are endless options when it comes to window coverings and you can always find the perfect ones to fit your style and budget.
We recommended Drapes, Woven Wood Shades, and Shutters.
Drapes are the most customizable part of the window. You can add different color schemes, textures, and lengths. Drapes can be used to dress up the window to create more light, less light, or even pull together the room design. We can’t forget that they are also multi purpose and can help with sound Dampening. Woven Wood Shades are the perfect way to bring the homey and earthy feel to your room, as well as their multi purpose appeal. They are eco-friendly, protect your house from harmful UV rays, and with a privacy layer can become Blackout shades. Shutters are the perfect compliment of increasing home value and also increasing the beauty of your house. Shutters can come in many styles and colors that give you a customizable look to your house. They also provide extra insulation to your windows.
Dampen Sound
When it comes to soundproofing, Shades and Drapes are also great solutions. They can help dampen sound from outside noise and also keep conversations between rooms private. The thicker the material of your window covering, the better it will be at dampening sound. So if you’re looking for something that will really keep out the noise, choose heavy curtains, thick blinds, or shutters.
We Recommend Honeycomb Shades, Drapes, and Roman Shades.
First Off Honeycomb Shades, trap in the noise in their honeycomb shape structure. This also provides sound dampening for the room and from outside noises coming in. Typical drapes can add at least a NRC of .35(which is 35% sound absorbing). Drapes are the perfect way to bring the room together, but also to reduce the noise coming from outside. They can help absorb the sound throughout the room, which is also perfect for your Home Theater. Our last recommendation is Roman Shades. Their heavier fabrics work perfect to help stop noise coming from the outside.
