Matchstick shades are also known as bamboo shades or woven wood shades. They offer an elegant South Pacific or tropical feel to a room, apartment or guesthouse. Generally, each woven wood shade will be slightly different in appearance as the unique characteristics from each piece of wood will be slightly different.

SlumberShades
Some of us have a good night's sleep every night, but others of us struggle with light sensitivity from street lamps, or the inability to sleep during the day. Those with night jobs often struggle to get 8 - 10 hours of sleep, the recommended amount of time needed for a good night's sleep, as their bodies are telling them they should be awake with the sun. New shades have hit the market to help resolve this problem. They are called SlumberShades and they block light from windows, using an innovative sidetrack system. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the best night's sleep comes from a dark, quiet, comfortable atmosphere.

Cordless Blinds Save Children’s Lives
Every year children die or are injured from dangling cords attached to window treatments, blinds and shades. The threat comes from kids or pets playing near window treatments where they can become entangled in the cord. While organizations are set up to help educate parents about this issue, we don't think there can be enough information about children's safety.

All-Season Window Decorating
Most window treatments work well for a season or two, but don't function effectively in the alternate seasons. When you live in climates that have four seasons, window treatments don't usually work for all four seasons, which is why layering blinds brings both a decorative quality to windows as well as a functional quality. With one installation, you can have blinds and shades that not only filter light and UV rays, but that provide excellent insulation for the cold winter months. Below are a few suggestions for layering window blinds and shades.

New Years Window Treatment Resolutions
A new year is upon us. Many of us made resolutions for this New Year - some were probably personal and some were possibly more general. One of the most common New Year's resolutions that doesn't involve self-improvements involves improvements to the home.
