An important fashion trend today is the layered look in window treatments. Rather than using just one pair of draperies, it is more stylish to use two or to add curtains over a shade. If you already have mini blinds, you can change the total look with an over-treatment of draperies. Not only does layering embrace two different window treatments, it also multiplies design potential. If, for example, the under-treatment is a mini blind that is crisp and easy to maintain, it may be preferred during the summer. If warmth is desired during the cooler months, the total window look can be changed with an over-treatment. This can be done as often as a change is desired, immediately and with little or no expense. If you have a "problem" window, bring us a snapshot or sketch and we can suggest ways to make it a focal point instead of an architectural anomaly.
