3 Great Solutions so Mr. Sun doesn't wake you before your ready!
Do you have an overly sunny bedroom in the morning that wakes you before you would like to be awoke? Sure, we all enjoy sunshiny days but really???? If you want that extra time for sleep wouldn't it be nice to have a blackout shade? Or maybe you have an annoying street light or yard light that is keeping you from getting a good nights sleep? Here are some answers to solve your problem.
This option is a Hunter Douglas honeycomb shade using a blackout fabric. It's also great that you can get this shade in what's called a top-down/bottom-up system. Which basically means you can lower it from the top or raise it from the bottom. This is an awesome solution when using a blackout fabric, you can gain the morning light when you want it just by lowering it from the top and yet still having privacy on the lower half of the window.
This is a Hunter Douglas Vignette Roman Shade using a blackout fabric. It too can be made into a top-down/bottom-up shade. The roman shade is a softer look but adds a clean crisp look to your bedroom. The Vignette is also available as a cordless shade so you have no cords for kids to grab.
This last option is my favorite ! This is a Hunter Douglas A Deux Silhouette. Check out this you tube video on how this shade will work for you! Hunter Douglas A Deux Shade

It's All About Insulation

Restful Guest Bedroom
A recent project was this guest room done with a 2" Hunter Douglas Silhouette for privacy and light control. Adding softness to the sides with pleated stationary panels using a soft textured sheer was what finished the look. Adding width and length to this window treatment made these windows appear larger.
The panels were mounted on a Kirsch Hardware decorative pole in a brushed nickel finish, we used a glass finial at the ends of the pole to complete the hardware. We didn't want a dark looking pole to distract the eye from the rest of the window treatments so the brushed nickel with the glass finials was a great choice!
This bedroom had a definite angled ceiling so this had to be considered for the installation so the finials and pole would fit properly above the shade and on either side of the shade. The completion of this project created a simple yet stylish guest bedroom.
Charming Office Space
This light and clean office space had an interesting shaped cove in this room. To add interest to the space, a shapely arched gathered valance was constructed to match the arch in the opening. The panels added a symmetric look to soften and complete the look.
This room had been meticulously wallpapered several years ago so my client chose to keep the wallpaper. The light blue & bright green dainty pattern on the crisp white background was a pleasing look in the room.
It's difficult to see in the photos but installed underneath the green top treatment and panels is a Hunter Douglas Silhouette. These shades are soft fabric vanes between two sheers that diffuse the light into the room. Tilting the vanes will achieve privacy.

Having an eye-catching office space such as this one would be an enjoyable room to spend lots of time.

TALL Grommet Panels
This is a before picture of the project. The height was close to 20' for the panels that needed to be installed. An extension ladder was used for the installation. This wall was really bare looking and needed some softness.
The pattern we used for the side panels was :
Greenhouse A3810 Twilight
Geometric prints are so popular now!

This was the solid woven fabric we used for
the center panels. Greenhouse A6411 Bark

On the extension ladder installing.... I was really relieved
when this installation was completed!
This is an after picture of the project. The panels were a grommet panel threaded through a 2" wood pole. We decided to go with the center panels in a woven solid colored fabric and the outside panels were a pattern to change it up a bit. The panels really made the room have a little more cozy feel.

Inverted Box Pleat Valance
This valance was fabricated for a patio door and
a window above the sink.
The fabric blended well with my clients granite counter
top that had muted khaki and black colors.
The inverted pleats, banding and buttons were
done with a black fabric for a pop of color.
Mounted behind the valance is a Hunter Douglas Vertiglide in a neutral color. The vertiglide treatment is a great option for a patio door. It is very energy efficient !
A Stylish Scalloped Valance
My client wanted a new look for her living room windows. This deep olive green fabric had a pretty brown leaf pattern embroidered on the face. The valance was lined with the contrasting brown color and then finished with brown piping.
Mounted underneath the valance is a Ado Wrap complete from Ado Corporation. My client purchased this a few years ago and it worked well yet so we decided to keep it on the window. An Ado Wrap is a vinyl vertical blind wrapped in a sheer. So, you get the best of both worlds! The versatility of a vertical blind to control the light and privacy and the softness of a sheer!
Here is a detailed look of the 'bell' or 'horn' placed between each scallop.
There were several other windows in this home so the valances had to be made in proportion with the size of the windows. This window was located in the foyer so one scallop worked well for this size of window.
To complete the room I fabricated a few throw pillows for the sofa to match the top treatments. My client was very pleased with the end result!
Ripple Grommet Ripple
Ripplefold or grommet panels are what these panels are called. They worked nicely in my clients dining room/living room area. We found a fabric with a linen looking texture that blended with the opposite wall at the end of the room.
The lined panels were constructed with large grommets to fit the Kirsch decorative rod. The pole and finials had a antique bronze finish that matched the finish on the grommets.
The living room window also was dressed with the stationary grommet panels. The panels really dressed up the windows and added softness to both rooms. A simple tailored look that completed the room.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette A Deux Shade
Hunter Douglas combines a silhouette window shade with a room darkening roller shade mounted together in a single headrail.
I've installed this shade in my master bedroom window with the Powerise 2.1 battery operating system for the back shade. I absolutely love this shade! It's the best window shade option to manage the light control and yet give room darkening capabilities. Here is a video on how easily this system works!

Master Bedroom & Bath Window Treatments
This master bedroom had a soft sage green paint on the walls with a darker green wall behind the bed. I found a fabric that was similar to a linen look that worked really well for this window treatment. The shaped valances are board mounted. I used the darker green for the contrasting inverted pleats and the 1" banding on the lower edge of the top treatment.
The side panels are just a stationary pleated panel to soften the sides of the window. My client purchased a Hunter Douglas cordless honeycomb shade that is mounted behind this treatment so it could be pulled closed for privacy.
This master bath window also had a matching valance over a honeycomb shade. Below this window is a cushioned window seat so a topper was sufficient. By choosing the same color as the walls for these window treatments it made a calming and not too busy feeling for the rooms.
My client was very pleased with the finished windows !
