Now Is the Best
Time To Brighten
Your Summer Views!

Another season is waiting to be let in, right outside your windows. That new light out there can not only brighten your rooms literally, but can also chase away any leftover doldrums of the seasons passed. What better way to brighten your views than with new light filtering window treatments that let as much or as little of the outdoors come inside your home as you choose! I have so many great ways we can bring the new season into your home today, and I’d love to bring them to you just as soon as you’d like to see them! Call me today!

Even traditional sheer window fashions aren’t what they used to be. Luxurious sheer fabrics in warm, comfortable color combinations are now available from the fashion world. This creates new possibilities when paired with other soft fabric draperies for a whole new look. Traditional sheers temper the light that comes through them, adding softness to both your windows and the quality of light in your rooms. Patterns, matte-and-glossy, metallic and special fabric finishes add excitement to today’s sheer possibilities!

I know you’ll love these sheer innovations, so give me a call or e-mail me at charlie@designers-touch.com and I will help you with you selection of draperies, pleated shades, sheers, or any of the new products on the market.

Michael Payne’s Window Décor Tip of the Month:
Control your “Day-Lighting” with Window Fashions!

There’s just no better place in your room to make it look its best than at your windows, and it all starts by having the perfect control over the light that enters there. It’s best when there are more options that just “open” and “closed”, since the quality and strength of light varies all day long. Layering levels of light control, such as draperies over shades or blinds, or curtains under lined drapes, give you the most flexibility in allowing just the right amount of light into any room, and can save you money in heating and cooling bills almost immediately. This can also protect your interiors from the sun’s harmful UV light that can damage colors, fabrics and finishes. Have a chat with your Window Fashions Professional to get a good assessment on how you can protect both your rooms AND your wallet with window treatments that work for you!

Curtains and Drapes Louisville Ky.

Posted on May 14, 2012 by charlie marshall

I have seen many poorly done window treatments. Sometimes the fabrication is executed wrong, or it could be in the design. How does a consumer know what to look for when hiring a designer?

Since window treatments are first seen at the time of installation, this requires a careful analysis on which company you use. The first place to determine the capability of a designer is to look at their portfolio. Take a close look at the work. Can you see a good use of color, proportions, functionality and of course great looking treatments?

When a trained window fashion designer visits your home, be prepared for the most pleasant decorating experience. The designer will take note of your decor, your choices of color, textures and other important aspects to the room that will affect the window treatments. A discussion of styles is important. There are 6 basic styles of window fashions, which are:

1) Romantic
This is a very soft and flowing design. Typically done with sheers and draped in a swag design. The curtain can be teamed up with decorative trim. This drape also plays with the light, as the fabric itself appears illuminated when the sun streams through the window.

Custom Window Treatments

Layer Your
Windows
For Decor
That Works
For You!

Remember when “layering” was all the fashion rage? Layer upon layer of clothing looked fabulous, and kept you warm when you needed to be. AND it was a trend that lasted, even though today, albeit with a new flair. When you think of window fashions, the same is absolutely true. When you layer, you add a whole new dimension to your window dÃ©cor, AND you make your windows work the way you want them to. Here are some great examples of what “layering” your windows can do for you! I have loads of wonderful options you can select from, and would love to show them to you in the convenience of your own home.

Warmth that lasts!

Client Testimonials

Mary Jane C. "Mr. Marshall was a delight to work with from the initial contact. He responded quickly to a phone message, even before I anticipated, and was available for a consultation on short notice. That was important because the windows in my house had just been replaced and we wanted new "honeycomb" fabric blinds installed as quickly as possible. He was also available for an early evening appointment, which my husband and I greatly appreciated. Although we wanted the blinds quickly, we also wanted good quality blinds, and he had excellent options from which to choose, along with a good range of color selections. We also had the good fortune of being able to take advantage of a special offer that saved us nearly a $1,000.00 on the blinds we preferred. As promised, the blinds arrived in two weeks, even a couple of days earlier, and Mr. Marshall arranged an appointment to install them at our earliest convenience. Again, as promised, he had the blinds (21) installed in about two hours. We will definitely choose to go to him if we decide to install window treatments, and I gladly recommend his services."

S.Trask Vender promptly called and made appointment to come to home to take measurements for shades. Showed up exactly on time and on day promised. Took measurements and told me they would be ordered and should arrive in about 2 weeks. Called just one week after measurements were taken and said shades were ready to hang. Came out next day to hang them. They fit perfectly and look very nice. He cleaned up any mess from installation and disposed of my old shades. Was able to pay for balance with my master card which is a feature I always look for.

B. Whitehouse This was the second time I have worked with Charlie. He is great to work with. He has a lot of experience. He made suggestions and was very patient with me while deciding fabrics/ design. He installed all of the products (blinds, shutters, and drapes) very well. I had a small issue with the shutter; he resolved it quickly and without problem. I would work with Charlie again and I would recommend him!

Mrs. Gibb After I ordered the product, he called as soon as it arrived, a head of schedule. He than arrived at the scheduled time to installed the window coverings. He was very efficient and pleasant while performing the task. I was concerned about some loose threads and he took care of them and assured me that if in the future a problem arose, the company would replace the panels.

Vicki Miller He was very quick to respond to my phone calls and to providing his service. When he hung the finished draperies he went to great lengths to make sure they were hung with absolute precision! He is not only very skilled and professional but also a very nice man!
