Before
Lowes cut-to-order Levelor roller shades in room darkening white | inside mounted
There was nothing nice about the existing roller shades. The light gaps were large, the plastic shade curled on the sides and never wrapped all the way to the top when closed. The headrail also fell out of the brackets often, due to incorrect measuring.

Custom Graber 2″ Grandeur™ Aluminum Horizontal Blinds in white gloss | inverted slats | wand tilt | inside mounted
In utilitarian and commercial spaces, an aluminum blind is a classic and budget friendly option. The unfinished basement is used as a laundry, a home office and a workout area. The clients love natural light, so inverted slats were the perfect upgrade. Inverted slats bring up to 38% more daylight into the room by using their reflective surface (light gloss finishes work best). You can see the difference and this FREE extra light brightens the large open space and the mood. Grandeur blinds 2″ slats maximize the view to the outside when open and easily wand tilt for glare. These are not your grandmothers’ Venetian blinds!

Before
No window treatment
Clients requested privacy for the workout area and wanted to cover up the masonry patch below the replacement hopper window.
After
Custom Graber .5″ Supreme Micro Aluminum Horizontal Blinds in white gloss | wand tilt | outside mounted
Scale is very important when selecting window treatments for small windows. One inch and two inch slats would have made this window appear small. By simply ordering the blind longer than the window it visually increased the size of the window and disguised the masonry patch. Color coordinated box brackets were used so the blind can be easily removed to open and clean the window and to bypass the natural gas line.
