When shopping for window coverings, the first thing to consider is what type of material you’d like. Blinds are usually made of wood, metal or plastic, and come in both horizontal and vertical styles to fit all types of windows. Shades offer a more modern look with their sleek fabric construction and can be used for decorative purposes as well as blocking out light. Curtains provide a classic look that can easily be customized by choosing from different fabrics, colors and patterns. Once you decide on the type of material desired, measure your windows accurately so the blinds or shades will fit correctly when installed. 


When purchasing window coverings, it’s important to take note of any special features that may be included. Some blinds and shades come with a cordless system, which increases safety around children and pets. Blackout linings can be added to block out more light while thermal linings help insulate the room from cold or hot temperatures. Automatic motors are available for those interested in motorized window coverings. Once you’ve found the perfect fit for your windows, it’s time to move onto installation. 


Installation instructions vary depending on the type of product you purchase. When installing blinds or shades, make sure to follow the measurements precisely so that they fit correctly in the window frame. It is best to use an electric screwdriver during assembly as this will make the process much faster and easier. If you decide to hang curtains, it is important to use the right type of hardware such as curtain rods and rings. Additionally, make sure you follow any additional instructions provided with the product for best results. 


Window coverings can be a great addition to any home, providing both style and function. With so many materials and styles available on the market, finding the perfect window covering can seem overwhelming. By considering what type of material you’d like, measuring your windows accurately and taking note of any special features available, you’ll be able to find the ideal blinds, shades or curtains for each room in your house without hassle. Once installed correctly following instructions provided with the product, you should enjoy years of beautiful window dressing!

When Window Treatments Should Be Planned in a Custom Build

By Sammie Bailey • March 9, 2026
In a custom home, the best results come from thoughtful planning. The more details that are considered early in the build, the more seamless the final space feels.  Window treatments are one of those details that often get pushed to the end of the project. By the time they’re discussed, drywall is up, electrical is finished, and architectural opportunities have already passed. However, when window treatments are considered during the design and construction phases, builders and designers gain far more flexibility—and the finished result integrates much more naturally with the home. Here are three elements that benefit most from early planning.

Why Motorized Shades Are Now the Standard in High-End Homes

By Sammie Bailey • March 3, 2026
In today’s well-designed homes, motorized shades are no longer considered an upgrade. They are expected.  Across Park City, Northern Utah, and St. George, we’re seeing a consistent shift in how window treatments are planned and specified. In homes valued at $1.5M and above, automation is no longer an afterthought — it’s part of the architectural conversation from the outset. As residential design continues to evolve, so do expectations surrounding comfort, performance, and integration. Motorized window treatments now sit at the intersection of all three.
