Seasonal Changes and Décor Transitions Go Hand in Hand!

Custom Draperies by Designers Touch of Louisville ky. is eager to help you get your home ready for the holidays.

While summer’s lush beauty transitions to the autumnal festival of color, our windows frame nature’s more amazing works of art outdoors, and the visual passage of time. It’s so tempting to bring autumn’s rich color palette indoors, and your windows can be the perfect place to transition from old style to newer and fresher, all without starting from scratch or busting a budget.

So many of us just LOVE our crisp, “hard” window fashions for their trim, tailored look… think shutters, mini-blinds, and the newer hybrid hard/soft slatted sheer products among them, all wonderful for light control and preserving views AND privacy. A great way to update that harder, finished look is by adding a soft component with a layer of drapery that makes windows feel more luxurious, tailored, and even more comfortable.

Adding this layer can be as simple as introducing a beautiful custom drapery fabric valance to top off your current “hard” window treatment, or as expansive as framing your windows with gorgeous soft fabric custom draperies. It’s all a lot easier than you think when you call a Window Fashions Professional like me to help make your window ideas come true. We’ll work within your budget, share ideas, and update your room… all you need do is give me a call, and we’ll set up our first, FREE at-home consultation. Together, we’ll make your room more beautiful!

Colorful children’s rooms

Posted on October 3, 2011 by charlie marshall

Make Kids’ “Study Spaces” Personally Rewarding Places to Be!

What makes your home’s living spaces lovely and comfortable also makes for great study space for the younger members of your household, making studying easier and more enjoyable, too! And don’t your home’s students deserve the best possible environment to help them make the best of their homework time? By decorating your child’s room with personality, light control and privacy in mind, you’re giving him or her the personal space needed to make study time more satisfying. AND, you’re adding value to your home!

Light control is probably the most important aspect of that personal space (because so much of homework is about reading), followed by privacy… and where else is there to start than at the windows to address these two aspects? Custom window treatments are the perfect upgrade for both total light control AND privacy, and give you THE BEST OPPORTUNITY to express your child’s personality in the room’s décor. Think custom draperies in colors and design themes your child loves, add custom shadings or blinds beneath to master light control and heating/cooling loss, and details like imaginative tiebacks, valances, cornices and more to make the room completely unique to your child. I can help you with products, designs and budgets for just about any wallet, and I’d love to share some ideas with you. Just give me a call, and we’ll set up a no-cost, at-home consultation!

Michael Payne’s Window Décor Tip of the Month:
First Ask, “What’s YOUR Favorite Color?” Then…

Ask your child what his or her favorite color is, and you’ll get a quick answer. Then ask what the SECOND favorite color is, and you’ve opened a gold-mine that will help you create the perfect look for your child’s room by using BOTH of those colors. This gives you the opportunity to add details in either color, in trims, paint, accessories, custom pillows and bedspreads, floor coverings, lighting and furnishings. This will also keep you from getting bogged down in matching just one color, and lets the young ones have their say in how their personal spaces look and feel!

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!
