Traditional Vintage

Here are two beautiful window covering options that will complete your overall look and provide plenty of benefits.
Custom wood blinds with cloth tapes are a great option for a traditional vintage home. Wood blinds come in a variety of colors, stains and finishes. They can also be custom color-matched to your wood trim or furnishings which is great for completing your desired look. By adding decorative cloth tapes to your wood blinds, you add an extra touch to bring out your vintage flair. The best thing about wood blinds is that they are an eco-friendly window treatment that blocks out harmful UV rays protecting your vintage furnishings from any sun damage.
Another window covering that is ideal for a vintage-inspired home is classic drapery. Drapes come is a variety of prints and patterns to create your specific vintage-inspired style.
