Redecorate Your Home Decor With Elements of Texture


A different type of fabric throw can contrast with the texture of the seating in a room in order to provide interest and tactile experience. Window treatments can provide the same feeling. Take, for example, the way a bamboo shade instantly adds a touch of exoticism to a room, particularly with cool walls or a tile floor. A grass weave shade may evoke memories of a fabulous beach trip or a reed shade may complement a design aesthetic made up of foreign travel and one of a kind finds. And don’t forget, a patio shade adds texture to the “rooms” you have outside! To get started call Gallery of Shades today at 480-643-0014. https://goo.gl/9q7zY

Which Types of Home Decor Calls for a Valance?


Typically, a valance can be used to complete a formal feel in a specific room, such as a formal living room or a master bedroom (though not all valances feel formal!). In some situations, the homeowner may want to disguise the curtain rod, in a bathroom for example. Bathrooms tend to be smaller spaces where one might want to incorporate a "little touch" of decor. Still, other window treatments just simply feel a little incomplete without a valance. For example, half-shutters, a very popular lower window treatment looks a bit naked on top. But a valance balances out the treatment, drawing the eye to the whole window, and completing the design. To find out more, call Gallery of Shades today at 480-643-0014 for a free consultation. https://goo.gl/dr3OmQ

Considering Safe Window Treatments for Baby's Nursery


While your baby may not walk for many months, you should consider window treatments that protect her throughout her young years. For example, shutters and blinds are beautiful, but some may come with a cord that may prove to be a choking hazard to children. In some cases, these examples can be retrofitted with child-safe options. Examine the various styles with an eye not just to design and color, but for security as well. There are plenty of safe options such as cordless blinds, roller shades (not the kind you grew up with!), or even such beautiful looks like the Luminette or the Silhouette, which diffuses and softens light throughout the room – perfect for baby’s atmosphere! Call Gallery of Shades today for a free consultation 480-643-0014 https://goo.gl/P7bq8C
