Combining window treatments like draperies and top treatments with a complementary shade is a popular way to create a dual function window treatment. Shades are as versatile in use as they are in style. They can be raised and lowered to provide privacy, block light and conserve energy. Popular shade styles include Austrian, Roman, balloon and cased shades. Our decorators will help you decide which shade style suits your needs and complements the room's décor. They can also suggest fabrics that will coordinate with your room, provide the best insulation and maintain their beauty.
