Blinds

Looking for a versatile window covering with a classic, simple styling? Window blinds are a great place to start. With the ability to raise them to take in a view or keep them lowered and adjust the angle of the slats to manage light and privacy, custom blinds can suit a wide range of needs.

Slats are typically arranged horizontally, but there's also a vertical option for large windows and patio doors. Material options include wood and faux wood. Both are easy to clean and built to last.

  • Wood: Natural beauty makes this the perfect accompaniment to Illinois' outdoorsy vibe.
  • Faux Wood: Many colors available, fire retardant rating, and affordability make these a great choice for many people.


Blinds are also available in a vertical configuration that's excellent for large windows or patio doors. And you can even add motorization to most configurations of blinds and shades to raise, lower, and tilt the slats remotely or on an automated schedule.

Shades

Although window shades are all operated by raising and lowering a single piece of material, there are several types available that will each drastically alter the light, privacy, and insulating properties of your home.
  • Cellular Shades: If you're looking to keep your home warm in the cold winters and cool in the summer, cellular shades should be your first choice. Made from sheets of pleated fabric that form a series of honeycomb-shaped air pockets, these custom shades are among the most energy-efficient window treatments available.
  • Roller Shades: Light management and simplicity are the name of the game with roller shades. They're available in a range of opacities that let light in or block it out completely, and there are an enormous number of designs to choose from.
  • Solar Shades: Solar shades specialize in managing the amount of sunlight you let in. And depending on the openness you select, they'll even retain your view of the outdoors. They also diffuse the light coming in and block UV rays.
  • Roman Shades: Roman shades tend to be more opaque than other shades and are great when privacy is paramount. Made from fabric, these window treatments have an inviting luxuriousness unlike any other.
  • Zebra Shades: Want shades that make a statement? Zebra shades have an unmistakable look that's contemporary, cutting-edge, and cool. Their dual-layer design is also great at managing light and privacy.


Drapery

From multi-flat greystones to bungalows, Illinois is known for its beautiful residential architecture. What better way to complement your home's design, be it classic or modern, than with custom drapery? With over 300 fabric designs available and a near-endless number of pairings with other window treatments, you’re certain to find a style you love.

Drapes are also great for insulating windows and keeping light pollution and curious eyes away. Paired with roller or solar shades, you can let light in during the day while also blacking out the room anytime you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are custom window treatments preferred over mass-produced treatments?

Custom coverings can reflect your unique style. Not all homes look the same, so window treatments shouldn’t either. By their nature, mass-produced products tend to come in a limited number of styles and sizes. On the other hand, custom treatments can be crafted with your personal aesthetic and sizing nuances of your windows in mind. Further, mass-produced window treatment options are far more likely to show signs of wear and tear after you buy them. Individual slats are fragile and may break or become warped from exposure to sunlight and gravity; fabrics may fade or buckle.

What are the advantages of working with a local window treatment company?

Since we are in your neighborhood, we know what makes your home unique and how to create the perfect solution to transform your space. Our design consultants can come to your home or office to get a feel for how you interact with your space, ensuring that we have a complete understanding of how you want to feel in the room before creating a design plan. Further, our professional installation specialists are able to collect final measurements to ensure everything is going to fit perfectly. Our installation specialists are available should you need assistance with your products, whether it’s reprogramming a motorized shade or simply if you have questions and would like a tutorial.

How does Stoneside’s five-star design process work?

Our five-star design process ensures you have fun discovering a custom solution to meet your needs! It all starts off with a free in-home consultation with one of our design consultants to help you explore the possibilities. Your design consultant will ask about what you’re hoping to accomplish, your needs, your budget, your sense of style, and the vision you have for your home or office. We will share photos, narrow down the options, and look at swatches of our materials to help create an amazing look for your home. Once your order is entered, we’ll schedule one of our skilled professional installers to come to your home and perform a final measure. We precision cut every material to spec, so your window treatments fit perfectly. Our skilled technicians carefully assemble, test, and inspect each shade to make sure we meet or exceed your expectations. Finally, on your installation date, one of our installation specialists will arrive on time to install your products, explain each step of the process, and answer any questions.

What window treatments are popular?

Simple, sleek roller shades are one of our most popular products. They roll up into a compact position when not in use and come in a vast array of colors and patterns. Soft treatments are growing in popularity, including Roman shades and drapery. Roman shades are also very popular for their warmth and variety of textures and patterns. Roman shades combine the idea of a roller shade and drapery, folding into a compact stack when not in use while still creating that lush appearance. Custom drapery can create the illusion of taller ceilings and add an elegant, dramatic effect.

How do I choose which window treatments are right for me?

We know how overwhelming the options can be – from product choice to designer accents. We have developed our five-star design experience to help you create the perfect solution to transform your home. Our trained design consultants and professional installers are here to take care of everything from design to installation.
