Transforming Kitchens with Faux Iron Decorative Grilles
This year, we fell in love with how faux iron decorative grilles elevated kitchen aesthetics. For one client, a sleek yet rustic grille was installed above their kitchen windows, framing the natural light while complementing the home’s interior design. These grilles offer a balance of privacy and artistic expression, perfect for anyone seeking a unique focal point in their kitchen.
Modern Minimalism with Roller Shades
2024 was the year of roller shades, and for good reason. One standout project featured custom, motorized roller shades in a downtown Minneapolis condo. The client wanted clean lines and effortless control, which we achieved with motorized roller shades that integrate seamlessly with their smart home system. The result? A modern, clutter-free aesthetic with shades that adjust at the touch of a button.
Elegant Bedrooms with Sheer Shades
Soft, ambient lighting is essential for creating a tranquil bedroom. This year, we partnered with a St. Paul homeowner to install sheer shades that diffused natural light beautifully while maintaining privacy. The homeowner was thrilled with how these sheer shades enhanced the room’s serene atmosphere, making it their favorite retreat.
Timeless Charm with Plantation Shutters
One of our most memorable projects this year involved custom plantation shutters in a historic home in Stillwater. These shutters, crafted from premium wood, added timeless charm and exceptional functionality to the living spaces. Not only do they provide excellent insulation, but they also allow precise control over light and airflow.
Outdoor Comfort with Sun Shades
As outdoor living spaces gained popularity, we had the opportunity to install exterior sun shades for a family in Maple Grove. These shades created a comfortable patio area by blocking harmful UV rays and reducing heat while maintaining their stunning backyard view. Motorization added convenience, allowing the shades to adapt to the weather with ease.
Adding Sophistication with Dual Shades
A growing trend this year was the use of dual shades for living rooms and dining areas. One Eden Prairie homeowner opted for these innovative window treatments, which combine a light-filtering shade with a blackout shade in one sleek design. This versatility allows them to enjoy natural light during the day and privacy at night—all with the same window covering.
Natural Woven Shades: Eco-Friendly Elegance
Sustainability and style came together in 2024 as more homeowners chose natural woven shades for their spaces. One project in Wayzata highlighted the beauty of organic materials with shades crafted from bamboo and grasses, providing a warm, textured look to the client’s sunroom.
