Install & walkthrough
Our own team installs, programs motors, cleans up and shows you how everything works.
Scheduling across Greater Boston is simple. We group consultations and installations by neighborhood, which keeps travel time down and lets us offer weekday and Saturday appointments in most towns. When your products arrive, we call to set an installation date that works for you, and our crew arrives with everything needed to finish the job in one visit whenever possible.
Many clients start with one room and return for the rest of the house over the following years. Because we keep records of every window we measure, adding a bedroom or motorizing a family room later is quick — we already know your home, your fabrics and your hardware finishes, so new treatments match the old ones perfectly.

Designer Tips
Six Guidelines Our Designers Swear By
Start with how the room is used
A bedroom needs darkness and quiet, a home office needs glare control, a family room needs durability and easy operation. Function first, then style — the right fabric or shade follows naturally once we know what the room has to do every day.
Mount higher and wider than you think
Hanging drapery hardware close to the ceiling and extending it past the window casing makes windows look taller and lets panels stack off the glass. It is the single easiest way to make a room feel bigger and brighter.
Layer for flexibility
A functional shade underneath and decorative drapery on top gives you privacy by day, darkness at night and softness year-round. Layering also adds insulation that you will notice during a Greater Boston winter.
Mind the sun
South- and west-facing rooms fade floors, rugs and upholstery. Solar shades, lined drapery and UV-resistant fabrics protect what you have invested in without shutting out the view.
Keep kids and pets safe
Cordless lifts and motorized shades remove dangling cords entirely. We recommend them by default in nurseries, children's rooms and any home with curious pets.
Think about the whole house
Consistent shade colors and hardware finishes from the street give a home a tidy, cohesive look, even when every room inside uses a different style. We plan exterior appearance as carefully as interior design.
