We don’t mean to generalize here but we have more than a few gentlemen customers that have needed extra help in choosing the right window treatments for their homes.  No problem – we even have a ‘Manly Decorating’ Pinterest board!

When in doubt, go with wood blinds

Wood blinds are a timeless design and easy to coordinate with any  Color and add-ons make a big difference. When in doubt, go with something in a dark wood. Mahogany and walnut woods are generally on the darker side of the spectrum. They’re sophisticated and classic without drawing too much attention. Choose something cordless, which are more sleek than corded blinds.

Choose some accents, like cloth tapes or edge binding (depending on the product you choose) in black or brown. If you want to add a little color, you might choose Hunter green cloth tapes or blue.

The valance is also important; choosing an outside mounted valance with an inside mounted blind provides depth to the room.

Solar shades keep the glare away

You also might choose a simple solar shade like this one. It’s great for media rooms, computer rooms and offices because it protects your high-tech gear from the sun, and it prevents glare. Functional AND good-looking… just like you.

Woven wood shades look swell

Woven wood shades are rustic and cool, and complement any type of room.

Aluminum shades are modern + functional

Aluminum blinds are all about function, function, function. They’re extremely durable, resistant to little kids and pets (they’re tempered aluminum, can’t get much sturdier than that), and they’re no fuss. They’re really easy to install, and they get the job done.

Love those shutters!

Last but definitely not least, the holy grail of window treatments, are shutters. You can see the kind of effect wood shutters have on a room. Instant upgrade!
