Custom Window Treatments Can Reduce Glare in your Colorado Springs Home
Do you think about how to reduce the glare of our Colorado Springs sunlight in your home whenever you go to sit in your living room? Have you taken to wearing sunglasses when you’re enjoying the room in the afternoon?
We can make your home a lot more comfortable with the right custom window treatment.
Many of our clients can tell you stories about this, like the client who had bought a beautiful home on a golf course. Golf courses make a beautiful view, but homeowners normally have some concerns about privacy and the strong sunlight that streams into the room during the day.
This particular client had looked at many options, but hadn’t found the right thing. Shades would provide privacy and sunlight, but they would also block the view of the pretty golf course. Shutters took up too much room in the house. Ordinary blinds left the occupants with a view, but the sun still heated up the room.
The homeowners came to us and we started asking questions. We learned they wanted a window covering that reduced the glare and afforded some privacy during the day, but could also be used to darken the room if they wanted to use the television or electronics.
We recommended they use a sheer blind from Hunter Douglas, like Silhouette or Pirouette. These blinds allow the homeowner to darken the room or screen the view. They reduce the glare and provide some privacy when open, but also can be shut to look like shades.
The client came to our studio and chose Pirouette sheers. We designed the color and fabric to enhance the beauty of the room. The homeowner requested the addition of motorized controls. Today they can open and close the window treatments automatically with a programmed schedule or with the touch of a button.
