A few small changes can make the most out of your space. Rearranging your furniture can make your room seem more spacious. A well-placed artwork can make a blank wall seem less empty. Moving your bed from one wall to another can drastically increase your comfort.

At Harmony Blinds and Shutters, we understand that it’s not a single piece of art or a perfectly-placed couch that makes your room “stylish.” Interior design comprises many artistic concepts: space, line, form, light, color, pattern, and texture. A custom window treatment combines several of these at once into one stunning piece.

Light

First and foremost, light control is a window treatment’s primary function. Push and pull your shades, draw your blinds, and tilt the louvers of your shutters. Window coverings block, soften, or redirect your home’s natural light, calling attention to what you love and shading out what you don’t.

Line

Line contributes to form. It determines proportion, emphasis, and depth. The peaked pockets of honeycomb shades and the even lines of wood, faux wood, or metal blinds draw the eye and make your interior design dimensional by bringing your style “outwards” into your space.

Form

The silhouette of your window treatment significantly impacts your room’s ambiance. For example, the soft folds of Roman shades emanate comfort, while the straight louvers of shutters give your room a hearty, traditional feel. Experiment with hard and soft window treatments - drapes are easy to be creative with. Slid away, they frame your windows and emphasize their shape. When closed, their loose folds supply your room with soft, lush romance.

Color

Color is so integral to our perception that it’s ingrained in our psychology. Blue evokes peace and serenity; green sparks creativity; red inspires passion. With deep stains, stunning finishes, custom paints, and hundreds of fabrics, you can find a window treatment that complements the color of your walls and the other accents of your room.

Pattern

Pattern provides your room with balance and visual interest but also individualizes it. Ditsy petals are the perfect additions to a playful bedroom, while delicate embroidery formalizes a dining room. Decorate your window shades with pretty florals, elegant brocades, and feathery ikat - patterns are an opportunity to be inventive with your interior design and are essential to avoiding monotony in your rooms.

Texture

While the texture you use for your window treatments won’t be the same you use to upholster a sofa, they’re still essential to cultivating a room’s specific feel. Texture on your window treatments ranges from the sleek slats of aluminum blinds to the thatching of woven wood shades - both bring a new dimension to your room by marrying visual and physical design.
