Our recent office design project demonstrates how custom window fashions can dramatically improve both the style and functionality of a workspace. For this East Louisville company, outdated blinds were hurting both the office’s appearance and employee comfort.
The Client Challenge: Outdated and Inefficient Window Coverings
- Poor light control: The existing blinds couldn’t reduce glare on computer screens.
- Unappealing aesthetics: Mismatched slats and faded materials gave the office a tired look.
- Energy inefficiency: Large west-facing windows caused heat gain in the afternoon.
- Inconsistent privacy: Client meeting rooms lacked adequate screening from outside.
These issues were affecting employee productivity and creating a less-than-professional impression for visiting clients.
The Consultation Process: Bringing the Showroom to Them
Our professional design consultant met with the office manager to explore options. We considered several products, each tailored to different rooms:
- Solar Shades – Ideal for controlling glare while preserving the outside view.
- Roller Shades – Sleek, modern, and perfect for open workspaces.
- Dual Shades – Versatile light control for conference rooms.
- Cellular Shades – Energy-efficient insulation for large windows.
- Motorized Window Treatments – Added convenience for hard-to-reach windows.
We used fabric swatches and visualizer tools to show exactly how each option would look in their space.
The Design Solution: A Layered Approach to Light and Privacy
Workstations
We installed solar shades in a 5% openness fabric. This allowed plenty of natural light without the screen glare that had frustrated employees.
Conference Room
Here, dual shades provided two layers: a sheer for natural light and a blackout layer for full privacy during presentations.
Break Area
Roller shades with a modern textured fabric gave the break room a fresh, updated feel.
Executive Offices
For maximum insulation and a soft, upscale look, we chose cellular shades in a neutral color.
Automation Upgrade
We added motorized lifts to the conference room and executive office natural woven shades. These integrate seamlessly with their existing smart building system, allowing remote scheduling and voice control.
Installation: Professional and Precise
- Accurate measuring during the consultation
- Careful alignment for uniform appearance
- Cordless lift systems for safety and a cleaner look
- A full demonstration of the motorization features
The installation took just one afternoon, minimizing disruption to their workday.
The Results: Style, Comfort, and Efficiency
- Improved productivity: Reduced glare means employees can work comfortably on screens.
- Energy savings: The cellular shades in executive offices noticeably cut cooling costs.
- Enhanced brand image: Sleek, coordinated window fashions impress visiting clients.
- Convenience: Motorization makes adjusting light levels effortless.
The office now feels bright, polished, and inviting—reflecting the agency’s creative brand.
