  • Accent Drapery In Your Home

    by James Monsees

    Devine Blinds and Drapery is based in St. Albert, but we also serve many communities that require our help when it comes to completing their home with accent draperies and window coverings.

    One of the things I see a lot when dealing with customers, is they are not very sure of what to do when it comes to draperies. This is where we come in. Devine Blinds and Drapery takes a lot of pride in assisiting our customers to make sure they make the proper decisions.

    Accent Drapery

    This is a huge business for us. Accent drapery is used to complement a current window covering and in most cases adding the drapery will bring a lot of life to a room. I really believe when looking at accent drapery you have to follow some solid rules. If your covering is solid, then I beleive it’s important that we go with a drapery that has some texture. I do get customers who ask if it’s OK to go with solid/solid when it comes to the accent drapery. There are some cases where I believe this is a good look, but I also feel those must be special circumstances.

    All designers have their own way of looking at things and I try to stay with what I was taught and that is using the KISS method. You can really go outside of the box if you really want to, but when it comes time to explain, you might have a tough time. “Because I wanted it that way”, could make your room look unattractive in the long run.

  • Buying Shades | Window Coverings | Blinds

    Making the right decision on window coverings is never easy. A lot of people that I deal with basically say “They have no idea” and are really looking for help. Competitors of mine, like the big box stores have people on staff who know very little about the products in the store and are simply there to direct you to the right place. In the end, you have to make a call that could effect the way your home looks for years.

    This is where Devine Blinds comes in. We service Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Devon and Beaumont. We will actually come to your home with our samples and help yoiu make an educated decision.

    Our interior design experts are here to help, but here are a few things to remember.

    We like to think with shades and blinds, you can dress your windows in a clean, uncluttered way, enjoy unobstructed outdoor views, and better control the light that comes in from the outside. You can always add swags or valances later if you like them, but we think shades and blinds look great all by themselves, and there are so many to choose from. Drapery and valances are another big part of our business so we can do it all for you.

    Blinds are considered “hard” window treatments. They have slats, or vanes, that tilt or angle to control the amount of light entering a room. They can also be fully opened, or pulled up, for an unobstructed view. Today, most blinds come with a rod that twists to tilt the vanes and a pull cord that lifts them (we also offer cordless systems and motorization). Blinds can have horizontal or vertical vanes (narrow ones are often called mini-blinds), and they can be made of vinyl, wood, and wood alternatives, or the old standby: aluminum.

    Shades are “soft” window treatments that can be raised or lowered for privacy and light control without sacrificing the view outside. They may be opened from the bottom up or from the top down — or both. Keep in mind that “shade” is used to describe a wide variety of window coverings, including insulating cellular shades or honeycombe (made of fabric folded into distinctive honeycomb-shaped cells), fabric Roman shades (featuring flat horizontal folds and a pull-cord mechanism threaded through rings at the back), and “shadings” (hybrid window covers with movable fabric vanes suspended between two sheer fabric facings). The shades also come with numerous options like cordless and top down/bottom up. Don’t forget about motorization too.

    At the end of the day you can feel comfortable that you have selected the right treatment with our Devine Blind Experts. Give us a call or fill out our quote form now!
