Layered Window Fashions near Fargo, ND
With window coverings sometimes when one is good, two is better. And that’s because when using two or more elements to craft layered window fashions, the final result is a room-defining feature imbued with the attributes and benefits of all its contributing elements. So by combining high-quality window treatments, homeowners can enjoy improvements to light control, enhanced privacy, and better efficiency from their layered window fashions as well as a custom look with unmatched visual appeal.

Our Favorite Pairings for Layered Window Fashions
Wood Blinds and Full Drapery
We love this pairing for the hard vs. soft dichotomy it brings to both the function and style of a layered window fashion. The hard slats of wood blinds are excellent at blocking natural light, and the fabrics of drapery is a natural light and sound absorber.
Together, they create comprehensively more interesting interiors. Wood blinds under full drapery also creates an element of visual interest through textural diversity. The hardness of wood blinds balances the softness of drapery for a well-rounded final aesthetic.
This partnership also makes the final layered window fashion more insulating than either treatment on its own. They can, of course, create darker interiors by blocking any light leaks the other treatment lets through.

Shutters and Side Panels
Frame the sophistication of shutters with the gracefulness of side panels and the result is a layered window fashion that elevates home décor. Start with interior shutters in a neutral tone to create a chic neutral backdrop, then find a custom fabric for the side panels from the exclusive Design Studio™ collection to add a designer finish to your new layered window fashions. This combination is great for picture windows or windows with a great view as side panels won’t infringe on the view and shutters offer view-through visibility (especially shutters with larger louver/gap sizes) while still performing all the necessary tasks of insulation and privacy.

Cellular Shades and Custom Valances
Elevate the look of your home and improve its energy efficiency with cellular shades and custom valances in a layered window fashion. Cellular honeycomb shades are notoriously good at insulating, which naturally helps to control interior temperatures with more cooperative consistency. Custom valances add a polished look to the final treatment and with smart fabric choice can help the new window fashion more cohesively meld with surrounding décor.
