Window Treatments by Emily Henderson

If you’ve ever considered buying window treatments but were unsure of where to begin, you’ve come to the right place. Emily Henderson is a seasoned window treatment professional with 15 years of experience. She views window treatments as both functional and stylish pieces that add style to a room. Emily’s design process begins with a consultation where she meets with you midway through your renovation to discuss your window treatment needs. Emily and her team decided that the Hunter Douglas Solera(r) Soft Shades would be the perfect match for Emily’s contemporary, minimalistic home.

Emily’s living room has high ceilings, beams, and a massive wall of windows. Within a few weeks, Emily had already painted the room white and installed new flooring. She complained about the glaring sunlight coming through the west facing windows, and wanted to create a more relaxing, comfortable environment for her guests. However, she also wanted to hide the unsightly casing from view.

When selecting window treatments, remember that curtains should extend beyond the window’s width, not the ceiling itself. To maximize the height of your ceilings, use wide curtains that fall on both sides of the wall. Similarly, if you have a low ceiling, a high-end woven shade or fabric drapery will heighten the illusion of height. When selecting window treatments, remember that the bolder the color, the more personality the space has. For a fun, smile-inducing environment, choose an orange or red accent that complements the room.
