Automation for Draperies

Automated draperies. 

Draperies will always be with us. For there is no other window covering that creates ambience and variety like draperies do. Ageless. Curtains define and separate the outside from the inside.

Outside it can be an ordinary cityscape, or suburban street, or even a more unsightly view. Inside it can be an entirely new landscape of your own design.  Your own specific and unique landscape of comfort and beauty can be created with draperies. With draperies you have an infinity of beauty at your beck and call. Fabric makes a home, a home, not an office. Even though we are all working from home these days, we don't always want to be reminded of work. Draperies allow you to keep the world of home separate from the hurly burly of the commercial world. 

Why? The ageless beauty of fabric, fabric often from all over the world encourages a plethora of design and beauty. Most blinds, (though not all) cannot create these inner dimensions of ultimate beauty. 

Certain window placement, or design, call for draperies because of the ultimate flexibility of fabric to treat unique designs.

So finally automation comes to the world of draperies. For those who are automating their homes with all sorts of new devices tied into their phones and computers, AUTOMATION, means that you can be in any part of North America and still make it look as if some one is home. So. Convenience. Adaptability. Modernization. Hip.

Now with computer aided curtain rods the customer is no longer tied to minimalism at the window. It was bound to happen. As everything becomes automated, draperies should be automated too. 

As the population ages, what goes at the window changes. For those who are invalided, or unable to move without causing pain, automation becomes a welcome feature for the handicapped or merely aging. Automated curtain rods and fabric treatments are newly adapted for the future. 

At last the kind of variety that fabric brings to an inner landscape of your own or your decorator's design.

Trapezoid or Triangular Window Coverings A wall of windows is always a challenge to cover. Unusually shaped windows that are trapezoids or triangles is a triple challenge.  Of course Motorization is the obvious answer. With motorization of a cellular style blind, dramatic windows turn into a theatrical event par none.  The touch of a button reveals the outdoors, or delivers much needed  privacy. The leader in the industry of these singularly shaped blind coverings, offers a unique product, that can be adapted to almost any angled window. In the past windows like this  were nearly impossible to cover beautifully.  Out of Colorado, they are, as is typical of innovators, a small but agile company.

What to do with those arched windows? Palladian Windows and their nineteenth century cousins, eyebrow arches are beautiful, letting in lots of light and warmth. Sometimes those beautifully curved arches let in too much light, heating up the house, or making the most intimate areas of the home just a little too visible to others. We all need a certain amount of privacy. They are great looking windows but they can be problematic and difficult to cover without a great deal of expense. Most of these window covering ideas are gleaned from various sources. They will take a bit of time and energy to re-create. Happily, each project lets you choose exactly the colours, prints, or degree of coverage you need. Imagine creating your own  custom blind by and for your own unique circumstances.
