Modern Variations on Tradition

Modern Variations on Tradition with Durable Alternative Wood Shutters for Families near Peoria, Illinois (IL)

Tradition has a special place in many of our hearts. Whether it’s a family ritual or an heirloom passed down through generations, we often long to connect to our history. But we also thrive on innovation and growth which helps us make progress and enjoy more convenience. That’s why many people love incorporating elements that are a twist on the traditional into their homes and lives. With products that are based on a traditional design but enhanced with modern elements, you can enjoy the comfort of familiarity with the convenience of modern innovation. SunGard Window Fashions carries a variety of Window treatments that incorporate modern variations on tradition.

A traditional design usually involves ornate features and details. When it comes to window treatments, that can mean folds, frills, and fringe. With all these little details, a traditional home usually seems elegant and maybe a little more formal than modern design. One style of window treatments that really brings a feeling of elegance and regality is Roman shades. These shades feature soft yet distinctive folds, the hallmark detailing that makes this shade feel more traditional. But Hunter Douglas has added modern variations on tradition for this familiar style. Solera® Soft Shades offer the same classic style of a Roman shade with the modern benefit of improving your home’s energy efficiency. They are built with a cellular construction that creates pockets to help trap air. This means that your shades provide extra insulation for your window.

Another of the modern variations on tradition involves using modern materials that can offer extra strength and durability for the busiest of households. For instance, hardwood shutters are timeless classic. They are eye-catching and impressive. With the wide variety of colors and finishes available, they fit in with any interior design. On the other hand, a household with pets and children coming and going might prefer alternative options. NewStyle Hybrid Shutters are made with a hybrid material put together with Truemill® dovetail construction for a long-lasting product.

Finally, you might not think of blinds when you think of traditional window treatments, but this style has been around for a while and is pretty popular. When it comes to modern variations on tradition for blinds, it can involve combining the functionality with different window treatment styles. Silhouette® Window Shadings work like blinds in that you can raise and lower the entire window treatment, but they also offer more functionality. You can tilt the components of the covering to adjust the angle and let light filter in. This works because they are made with S-shaped fabric vanes suspended between two sheer fabric panels. The vanes can be adjusted by tilting them to control the angle. When you need privacy, you can adjust them so that just a little bit of light filters through. On the other hand, when you only want to slightly obstruct the view into your home, you can tilt the shadings for a warm glow of light through the sheers.
