If you’re looking for custom window treatments in Cleveland and the surrounding areas, we’d love to help you get started.
This Year’s Top Window Covering Trends
Getting the inside scoop right from a design professional is the best way to find out what’s new and what might be your next favorite. Our design team loves to stay on the cutting edge of window covering style trends. From favorite shades, to innovative features, we’ve got this year’s trending list for you…
Best Light Control & Privacy Solutions
We offer the full collection of Hunter Douglas window treatments, but when it comes to natural light and privacy in Ohio homes, we know there are some that local homeowners prefer.
Get the Best of Both Worlds: Dual Shades
Dual shades make our top 3 favorite features list. We consider this to be the total package! These shades offer so much versatility for each and every circumstance over the course of the day. You’ll enjoy your wonderful view with the light filtering shade down. Then, if you lower the second blackout shade, you can enjoy a perfect movie night with your entire family.
Balanced Living: Top Down Bottom Up Shades
What’s better than letting natural light shine into your home? Being able to control that light. With top down shades, you can do just that. As one of our favorite features, this allows you to create the perfect balance of privacy and beautiful light. This means that you get to relax in your living room without your neighbors seeing you. And, you still have the luxury of the luminous light shining across the ceiling.
Room Darkening to Blackout Control
Being comfortable in your home is all about controlling the atmosphere. Getting a good night of sleep means solid light control. And, we’ve got you covered! From room darkening fabrics to blackout operating systems, we’ll guide you to the right level of control. Some families just want room darkening for the bedrooms of their homes. Others have media spaces where they’d like to darken. And, some homeowners have south and west-facing windows that get relentless sunshine that needs to be blocked.
Smart and Motorized Features on the Rise
When it comes to light control and privacy, automating window coverings has quickly become a favorite. Many homeowners are intrigued by motorized blinds and motorized roller shades. At Timan & Co., we are the local experts in everything with window treatment motorization, and we’d love to offer you a guide to the smart blind questions you’ve been wondering about. Similar to many other smart home elements, once you automate your shades, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
Design Features Homeowners Love
Looking to enhance the look and feel of your home, but not sure where to start? The Timan & Co. Blog is a popular feature that showcases window coverings and their features, but our team also addresses current design trends and ideas, offers inspiration and shows room options to help you put it all together! Let’s explore what Ohio homeowners have been loving in design this year…
Fabrics: Colors, Patterns & Texture
Homeowners are loving what fabrics can do for their homes. The colors, patterns and textures can soften the look, with custom details bringing a personal feel. We are seeing this in the custom drapery being chosen, the shades selected and the coordinating elements already in the homes. Fabrics make a statement and allow you to create a special look in your home.
We have three Northeast Ohio window treatment stores that you can visit. Located in Cleveland, Rocky River, and Chagrin Falls, you are welcome to come browse the displays, operate the window shades, and see just how the fabrics interact with the light. It’s a fun way to get started, and our helpful staff can answer questions while you visit.
An Organic Vibe
A favorite in window covering design? Natural fibers are topping the charts. Similar to the colors, patterns and textures of fabrics we just mentioned, woven materials have become a staple in design. Woven shades, like our Provenance Woven Woods or Alustra Woven Textures, are some of the most popular window shades. They offer visual interest at the window, for layers of style.
Best Features for Your Home
There are just some features that are favorites in this part of the country. Curious about which ones your neighbors are choosing? It can be helpful to see photos of Northeastern Ohio homes that have recently had window treatments installed. The light is similar, the style of windows is comparable–even the home layout might remind you of your own. Climate needs are the same. Let’s take a closer look at some Cleveland favorites from the past year…
Covering the Doors of Your Home
Sliding doors, french doors, patio doors…they all play a role in you accessing your outdoor space. The one thing we all have in common? We need ideas for covering them. Glass doors act like big windows, and if they aren’t covered, you can experience serious light, heat and faded flooring–not to mention lack of privacy. Head over to our glass door solutions page to get ideas and inspiration.
Outdoor Patio Shades
Coming in on the list of window covering favorites is our incredible outdoor patio shade products. When we can extend our outdoor time in this part of the country, we’ll take it! Your family deserves time that is well spent and enjoyable. Our exterior shade products keep your family and guests comfortable by adding much-needed shade, protection from wind and rain, as well as the chance to keep out the bugs!
Pergolas Create Fun Outdoor Time
Speaking of spending time outdoors, the Cleveland area is perfect for today’s modern pergolas. Families get more outdoor time with innovative features like adjustable louvers that protect your from the rain and overhead sunshine. Add motorized shades to the pergola for reduced wind and summer insects. Outdoor living is on the rise, and designing an outdoor space for your family will be the highlight of your landscape design.
Energy Efficiency
Living in Northeastern Ohio, we are all too familiar with the need for our homes to be more energy efficient. We see a wide range of weather here, from the scorching heat of summer to the frigid cold of winter. Energy efficient window treatments are a great way to keep your home comfortable year-round. Cellular shades offer insulating qualities, while blackout fabrics can stop heat gain. With the right window covering options, you’ll achieve comfort and savings on your energy bills.
