We will come to your Bell Canyon, Hidden Hills, Malibu, Calabasas, westlake Village or Agoura Hills home to help you choose window treatments wioth the latest features – that fit your lifestyle.

1. Rain Repellent Lining on Window Shades

Looks like Spring and Summer 2018 are going to be wetter than usual. And when it does rain, it can take you (and your open windows) by surprise! We love rain repellent window shades that are not only beautiful, but also protect our floor and furnishings in case of an unexpected storm while yoiur windows are open!

2. Hidden Support Rods on Window Shades 

With this “seamless” style, find the support in the drapes that you love, without the visible hardware! We are thrilled with the sturdy and structured look and crisp folds achieved by the hidden support rods on window shades.

3. “Duo Fold” (Top Down / Bottom Up) Window Shades 

Have you ever wished for the same convenience of side panels in a vertical moving blind or shade? Some days we want as much sun exposure as we can get, on other occassion we want to let in just the right amount of light, while still protecting privacy. That’s why we are so crazy about the duo fold (top down/bottom up) window shades. These may be lowered from the top, or raised from the bottom, adjusting to allow for natural light into a space, while protecting from the sunlight when necessary.

4. Back Valances for Street Side View Window Shades 

You have a beautiful home ! So the “street side” view of your window treatments should enhance (and not detract from) the exterior of hour house. This look conceals the appearance of hardware in your shades from the street view. Enjoy the style you have on the interior, knowing that guests and passersby will admire your window treatments, even from the outside looking in.

5. Knife Pleats and Rib Pleats on Window Shades 

A pleat in a garment is known to add dimension or depth. Pleats also add structure or yield a tailored and polished feel. Something ordinary transforms into extraordinary simply by this classic design enhancement. Knife pleats and rib pleats on your window shades will add a depth and a richnesses to your window treatments!

6. Motorization / Remote Controlled Window Treatments

Relax and enjoy a well-deserved lazy day, or take advantage of uninterrupted entertaining with motorization/remote controlled window shades. This impressive feature allows you to change the mood, and light in a room with the click of a button.

You can also set your blinds and shades to raise and lower automatically, according to pre-set schedules. And, with the latest technologies in motorized window treatments, your motorized blinds and shade system can be operated by app, remote, control, or even from your m obile device whether you are home or away!

Todays’s motorized window treatments are also compatible with almost all SmartHome systems, including, Amazon Alexa, Nest Thermostat, Google Home / Assistant and Apple HomeKit (available 2018).

7. “Pinhole Free” Blackout Fabric on Window Shades 

More cheaply made blackout shades can have frustrating “pinholes” that allow minute points of light to come in through in blackout shades. We love the look and light-free effect of our “pinhole free” blackout fabric on window shades in rooms where you want maximum protection from sunlight exposure. Protect valuable art and furnishings, to enjoy your home theater or sleep soundly with the toal sun blockage offered by pinhole free room darkening window shades.

8. Fabric Wrapped Brackets on Window Treatments

Nothing is more elegant than custom window shades with hardware that is intelligently concealed. Fabric Wrapped Brackets on window treatments allow the rich texture of the fabric to shine on its own, without distracting mechanisms showing. Our customers are raving about how much this helps to make the window treatments truly stand out, without any metal visibility in the window covering.
