Shade Hacks: Layering Shades and Curtains

We are loving these customer-submitted photos of our Artisan Custom shades layered with sheer curtains. By layering shades and curtains you can elongate windows, bring in rich textures, and provide flexibility in light control. This hack also works with Original, Easy Lift, Artisan Select and Artisan Custom.

To achieve this look, first choose a curtain color or pattern that compliments your Redi Shade window shades. Then simply mount your curtains as directed. If you’re covering windows in a bedroom, nursery, office or TV room, consider choosing a drape opacity that is the opposite of your shade opacity (blackout curtains if you have a light filtering shade, sheer curtains if you have blackout shade). This ensures that you’re covered whether you want to let the light stream in in the morning or take an afternoon nap. Bonus hack: mount your shades several inches above the window casing to elongate the room and make your windows look larger.
