Sensational Solutions:
- Why Wilma was called in:
Alec & Megan Google searched for a local interior design and blind installation provider and found Wilma who was helpful, had a good eye for design and used a brand they knew and trusted. They had Sensational SEAMS install shutters in the kitchen, bedroom & ensuite, and it was time to address the nursery for their daughter. The nursery required black out blinds. “We attempted black out curtains and they just weren’t doing the trick. Light was still coming in on the edges and with a south facing room is quite sunny and our daughter’s room wasn’t set up for an ideal napping environment.” - Sensational Solutions:
In the nursery, black-out Duette® Honeycomb Shades were installed that feature energy-efficient design. The innovative cellular construction traps air in distinct pockets to help keep the nursery cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They can direct the light in the room, balancing light and privacy as they see fit—from the top, from the bottom or in combination with the Top-Down/Bottom-Up system. The new LightLock™ blends seamlessly into the window frame preventing any light leakage that is inherent with most blackout shades. Of course, Alec & Megan also wanted a cute and stylish shade but didn't want to sacrifice safety and practicality. With the PowerView® system, Dad & Mom can move the shades with peace of mind using the simple remote control. “We have options to let light in or no light at all. We love it! When the installation was complete, we were Relieved! The space looks beautiful and open now. We were using cardboard prior to the blind installation so could never open the window either without taking all the cardboard down. What we loved most about working with Sensational SEAMS is that everything was easy and seamless!” Megan adds, “I was always skeptical of window coverings in some rooms because I don’t like to cover up the view but the recommendations and results were worth it.”
For the kitchen, building the signature look of plantation shutters was the perfect solutions for the window and patio doors. They offer durable, UV-resistant Polysatin™ material that prevents warping, cracking, fading, chipping and peeling even when exposed to intense sunlight and moisture. The Bypass Track system that lets the shutter panels slide past each other without interruption, opening in the same direction of the patio door for ease of use. “The kitchen required a solution that didn’t cover up the view, but had the functionality for the glass sliding door. The sliding California shutters look great and function amazing! We loved them so much we added the same shutter to the master and master ensuite.” - Words from Wilma:
From blocking out the sun to enhancing our home’s natural light, Hunter Douglas window treatments shine through for all our privacy & light control needs. Child and pet safety has always been a top priority. Our precious little ones add so much joy to our lives and homes, and choosing window treatments solutions that are designed with safety in mind is a responsibility we take seriously. The remote control is the perfect solution for this amazing nursery for their little one, providing up to 100% darkness when needed.
