The phrase “window fashions” might sound a bit funny to you, but window coverings have more in common with the clothes that you wear than you might think. Each are supposed to be both functional and fashionable, and many window treatments are made from fabrics, just as your clothes are. And yet we often take more time thinking about the clothes that we want to wear than we do about the way we want to dress our home’s windows. Here atJC Licht, we think that your home’s window treatments should be as much an extension of your sense of style as your wardrobe. To show you what we mean, we are going to use this blog to introduce you to one of the most elegant window coverings around.

Sleek Style
Custom Hunter Douglas roman shades have a good deal in common with the curtains and draperies you may be more familiar with. Both are made from fabrics, and both rely on those fabrics for their aesthetic and functional appeal. What makes roman shades different from curtains and draperies, however, is that the fabric of a roman shade is pleated or folded to create a shade that is raised and lowered, rather than being moved to the side as you might with a curtain. This provides you with a sleeker profile and can give your home the style you want without it feeling cluttered. The Vignette® is Hunter Douglas’s classic roman shade and is available in a wide selection of high-quality fabrics, as well as varying fold and pleat styles, ensuring that you will find the perfect Vignette® shade for your window.
Window Insulation
All window coverings increase the energy efficiency of your home by providing an additional layer of window insulation, as well as by blocking sunlight that can negatively influence the temperature of your home. All custom Hunter Douglas roman shades carry a degree of energy efficiency. This means that you will never have to compromise your sense of interior design in order to save a few extra dollars on your monthly energy bill.
