Layered Window Coverings!

Layering is used to add comfort and warmth as well as a transitional element.  People layer their clothing to create options and interest. I layer my window coverings for the same reasons.  Windows are often focal points of a room and should have treatments that create optimal interest and function.  The following window treatments consist of different combinations of sun-shade rollers, black-out rollers, shutters, balloon shades and draperies.

These windows have a sun-shade roller, a black-out roller and shutters.  The three white layers create beautiful texture and depth without competing with each other.

Both of these window treatments employ the white on white concept, but with shutters and balloon shades.  The shutters add architectural interest while the balloon shades soften the space.

This is a really unique window arrangement with the art glass transoms, shutters and balloon shades.

I love this combination of custom black-out roller shades and white shutters.

This is a great combination of bronze sun-shade rollers with white shutters.

Nothing is as attractive as a fully adorned French door!   Starting with a true divided light door fitted with hand-poured bronze hardware then comes the sun-shade roller, custom stenciled black-out roller and a light cafe curtain.

Here is another set of French doors worth admiring- heavy canvas balloon shades on top of a black-out rollers and light cafe curtains below.

Here the two sets of roller shades have been paired with full length drapery pooling on the floor for a super soft finish.

This adorable cafe curtain is paired with a sharply contrasting custom black-out roller shade.

Black-out roller shades with soft white balloon shades on top create a balanced window treatment.
