Our Top 10 Window Covering Favorites

Another year is coming to an end, and we are doing a round-up of Nova Scotia's window covering favorites. Do you have an upcoming project in your home? Come along with us as we journey through this year's top 10...

1. Rolling Shutters

These shutters are an amazing way to protect the interior of your home. They start off our list of window covering favorites! Here in Nova Scotia, we need protection from the weather. Rolling shutters are a great way to put a barrier between yourself and high winds, rain and hail. They also deter intruders, as they are a strong physical barrier that can be extremely difficult to get through.

2. Window Blinds

Using blinds to cover windows is a timeless favorite. They are simple and effective, with adjustable slats that let in light and views, or close up for light blocking and privacy. Window blinds come in a range of materials, from wood to vinyl, and they can featured colors and stains to complement your home's unique decor.

3. Drapery

Custom drapery truly adds a beautiful finish to the look of a room. Side panels frame the view and add softness to the atmosphere of the room. Closing full panels allows you to gain access to light control, comfort, privacy and energy savings. It's no surprise they made it to the top 10 list.

4. Honeycomb Shades

Speaking of energy savings, honeycomb shades have tremendous capability for energy efficiency in the home. Do you know that you could be losing 40-50% energy out of the windows of your home? That's a lot of heat in the winter and cool air in the summer! Cellular shades insulate the window, providing cells that trap air. This barrier keeps interior air and exterior air from mixing and mingling. It's energy savings, privacy, and light control all in one!

5. Sheers and Shadings

Our sheers and shadings offer a wide selection of products for your home. Use sheers in the lowered position with vanes open to experience the view, as it's showcased through layers of sheer fabrics. Or, close up the vanes for more privacy and enhanced light control. Sheer shades, like Hunter Douglas Silhouettes, also roll up into the headrail and disappear when you want a wide open view.

7. Interior Shutters

Window shutters offer classic styling, with a beautiful finish. Most commonly, homeowners love the fresh look of white shutters, in a vinyl or composite material for the long-lasting durability they offer. Easy to clean and maintain, the adjustable louvers offer a quick transition from privacy to view-through.

8. Roller Shades

Speaking of easy adjustments, it's doesn't get much easier than roller shades. Historically, roller window shades were known for their effectiveness at closing out the light and delivering privacy with low profile design. Today? The smooth operation of modern roller shades still provides practicality, but the beauty of fabrics and hardware has taken the look way up on the style scale!

9. The Design Blog
