A Window Of Opportunity

One of the designations you may have noticed in my profile section is that of Window Fashions Certified Professional Associate.  This means that I have taken courses and passed a certification test to be a WFCP Associate.  I am also a member of this organization so that I may stay current and up-to-date on new products, as well as skills that deal with business in general.

 

Besides loving fabric and trim, I do love the window treatments they can be made into.  They make a big difference not only to a window, but to the whole room.  A roman shade on its own gives one look and drapes with a valance gives an entirely different look and feel to a room.   Something new are the Masterpiece Shutters.

They offer a new collection of shutters that are painted or engraved to transform your window into works of art.  Imagine having the above shutters to look at as opposed to a parking garage view out of your apartment. 

Also new is a vertical drapery system.  This item won Product of the Year for Lutron Electronics Co. and is an industry first.  How many homeowners with sliding glass doors are going to want this?  A lot!  I can tell you that sliding glass doors present a major challenge to homeowners regarding coverings. 

This innovative product is available in a variety of fabrics and can even be combined with a blackout roller shade for total light blocking.  With remote control operation what else could you need?  

Finally, I wanted to share this beautiful new trim from Expo International {a to-the-trade company}.  This beaded and fabric trim mixed together combines the best of both worlds.  I know that I have had clients express that they can’t decide between just one or the other. 

Now they don’t have to!  This trim comes in a dozen different colors.

I love finding out about all these new products on the market and I especially love it if I have an opportunity to introduce them to a client.  It is always a fun and satisfying experience to have a solution to a client’s window treatment needs, yet still make the room a welcoming and comfortable place to be.
