Provenance® Shades are available in three different styles and an array of fabrics. You can also choose to have them installed with a liner in your choice of opacity.

Since the comfort of your guests is of utmost importance, you can also customize your wooden window treatments with PowerView® Motorization. This wireless operating system lets you control your shades with a remote or from a mobile device. You can program your shades to operate on a schedule, minimizing glare when the sun streams directly through your windows and maximizing light when the sun’s angle is now longer a concern. You can also provide easy access for your guests to conveniently and subtly control the window coverings as needed. Plus, with no cords hanging loose, your home is safer for children and pets.

If you have younger children without smart devices or like having specific controls for different devices, you can control your window treatments with the Pebble® Remote. Using the remote, you can control up to six different groups of window treatments. The remote is available in different colors and is uniquely designed in an ergonomic fashion, so the device itself makes a statement. If you’re worried about losing the remote, you can opt for the wall-mounted Pebble Surface Remote instead.

However, for many people, the biggest benefit of motorized window treatments is that they can be controlled with a compatible Apple or Android device. Using the PowerView App, you can control your window treatments with the swipe of a finger. You can label each window treatment within the app and assign them to a room. Then you can control your window treatments individually or as groups. If you want to optimize your light control and the efficiency of your home, you can even schedule Scenes that specify your preferred window treatments positions for different times of the day. If you take advantage of smart home or voice-activated devices such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you can even control your window treatments using those devices.

If you are at a stage where stains are a concern for you but you like carpet, you can use carpeting in areas of your home that are restricted to children or pets. The wide variety of style can allow you to mix and match throughout your home with different throw rugs. If you want to install carpet in a room where children may play, you could choose to cover it with children’s play area mats to protect it.

If you don’t have major messes and high traffic to worry about, maintaining your carpet is rather simple. With smooth flooring, you often have to sweep and mop. With carpeting, you will usually just vacuum. As desired, you can then have your carpets cleaned on a regular basis to maintain a bright, new appearance.

Carpeting provides a warmth that cannot be replicated with other types of flooring. While all flooring types can be visually appealing depending on your tastes and style, stepping onto a cushioning, well-padded carpet is a relaxing feeling that is hard to match. Plus, that luxurious feeling is strikingly affordable.

When selecting carpeting for your home, you have to consider a few different factors including the purpose of the room, the desired mood you want to create, the type of style and the volume of traffic through the room. These criteria can help you determine the construction and texture you require for your carpet. You may have an idea of the material and fibers you prefer in a carpet, but you also have to consider how those fibers are connected to construct the carpet. This construction is what determines the surface texture.

If you are considering carpeting the floors of your home, stop by one of Richmond Decorating’s showrooms in Richmond or Glen Allen, VA. Not only do we have Richmond’s best selection of high quality carpet, but we have expert staff with the knowledge needed to answer all of your questions and walk you through the thousands of carpet selections. With our assistance, we can find you the right subtle, neutral carpet to match your interior design, or we can match you with the picture-perfect statement flooring you are seeking. Visit us today to find your perfect fit!

Not only that, but they even hold up better against the sun’s heat and light, as well as moisture. Humidity and sunlight can be severely damaging to real wood, but the EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds stand strong against both, guaranteeing to never warp, crack, yellow, fade, or bow. This makes them a great choice for any room in your home, but especially for kitchens and bathrooms. These are spaces that tend to get very hot and humid which can be damaging to most types of window treatments. These blinds, however, are made to last. You can expect that they will stay beautiful for many years to come.

They are also much easier to maintain. All you need is a damp rag to wipe them down with and they will be good as new.

You also have tons of operating systems to choose from. You can choose from the PowerView® Motorization System, LiteRise®, SimpleLift®, UltraGlide®, or Standard Cordlock system. You can learn more about these here and we can also help you determine what will meet your needs the best.

When renovating your home, you have a lot of different choices to choose from when deciding on a flooring type. Each different type has its own pros and cons. We are here to tell you all about how hardwood flooring can bring warmth to your home near Richmond, Virginia and help you see why it is a fantastic choice for your home.

Hardwood flooring comes with numerous benefits, but the number one reason why people often prefer hardwood floors is their attractive appearance. Hardwood floors are available in numerous options, including varying colors, consistencies, designs, and grain patterns. With so many types of trees and woods, there are so many options to provide you with the exact look you want. Not only do hardwood floors add additional beauty to your home, they also increase the value.

One of the major benefits of hardwood flooring is how durable it is. While it can get scratched and scuffed, it is easy to simply resand and refinish it every so often. Assuming it doesn’t become damaged due to moisture, hardwood will last the lifetime of the home with proper maintenance. Additionally, opposed to many other types of flooring, hardwood floors are much more stain resistant due to the protective layer of finish. This ensures that your home continues to look beautiful.

Hardwood floors are also much better than, say, carpeting because they stay much cleaner and safer. Dust, germs, and other debris can, easily, get into the fibers of carpeting to hide. With hardwood floors, there is nowhere for it all to hide. This makes your flooring much safer for everyone in your home, especially children.

Hardwood flooring is also a much more sustainable option. Unlike carpeting or tile flooring, hardwood is renewable. Production of the materials is also much greener in that the production process requires much less water and energy. If you, one day, decide to replace your hardwood, the materials can even be recycled.

While they tend to be a bit more expensive up front, we believe you will be thrilled with your investment in hardwood floors. Their benefits truly outweigh the up-front cost and we are confident you will love them.

People too often put blinds in a box and think of them as basic window treatments that are more about function than fashion. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth, especially when you choose custom blinds from Hunter Douglas. Hunter Douglas is known for creating window treatments that solve age-old problems and limitations of window treatments while delivering excellence in design and uncompromising quality. Horizontal blinds are no exception to this, and we’re confident that you’ll be impressed with just how versatile custom blinds from Hunter Douglas are and how many options there are for your windows.

Fashion for Your Windows

Custom blinds from Hunter Douglas show you just how stylish blinds can be. You will always have your say when it comes to the fashionable elements that go into your blinds.

You can also add stylish wood cornices to your custom wood blinds to fill empty space by your windows with luxurious real hardwood.

Your windows can also take on a bright, metallic glow with the addition of the Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds. Watch your windows reflect brilliant colors with shimmering finishes or create a subtle look with matte finish options.

Clever Practicality

The Parkland® Wood Blinds were made with style and sophistication in mind, but they were also made to last with the addition of a proprietary glaze finish. And while the EverWood® Alternative Blinds may look convincingly like actual wood, the use of modern material means that they will never fade or warp from heat or moisture, so you can use these blinds for windows that get the most sunlight or on your windows where you let steam out in the kitchen. The Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds also won’t budge in the face of natural elements due to the use of high-quality aluminum.

Convenient Operating Systems

Available operating systems, including SimpleLift™ and LiteRise®, make operation incredibly easy, allowing you to use your hands to push and pull on the blinds to adjust your shade level without the use of potentially hazardous cords. In addition, by choosing the de-Light™ feature your shades will look insanely sleek and uncluttered while providing more shade and more privacy due to no cord holes running through the slats.

Each of these styles is also available with PowerView® Motorization, which allows you to operate your custom blinds with just the push of a button on your Pebble® remote or smartphone. When you choose custom blinds from Hunter Douglas, you get quality that stands out from the crowd.

One great way to transform a space and give it a look it has never had before is to add carpeting. We, here at Richmond Decorating, are known for our high-quality carpet selection. You really won’t find a better place to purchase new carpet in Richmond, Virginia. However, when purchasing carpet, sometimes it can be hard to decide which rooms it is appropriate in. We are here to help you by providing a guide of which home rooms need wall to wall carpet and which don’t.

First off, are you looking to just update your space or are you covering something up? This is something to ask before deciding what to do. A lot of people choose to use wall-to-wall carpeting in rooms with a concrete floor to increase the insulation of the space. It is also used in rooms where there is a wrecked wood floor that you don’t want to replace.

It is important to think about what rooms should never have wall to wall carpeting. While a small rug may be appropriate, wall to wall carpeting should never be installed in any room that can or is likely to encounter any sort of moisture. This would include bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, utility rooms, entryways, and basements. If carpeting of this variety is exposed to moisture, it is likely you will have to rip it all up and replace it often. No one wants to deal with that.

Rooms that are great for carpet though, include bedrooms, living rooms, dens, and other living spaces. Of course, it is important to consider how dirty the space gets. If you have children, you may want to avoid full carpeting in spaces where they tend to spend lots of time. We all know how messy kids can be. However, if you do still want carpeting, since it can be helpful in preventing bumps and bruises when your kids are running around being kids, there are lots of options that don’t show dirt as easily or that are much easier to clean in general that would be great for nurseries or kids’ rooms.

If you still aren’t sure where wall to wall carpeting is appropriate, give us a call and we would be glad to offer our advice.

You no longer have to worry about having a dull window treatment detract from the overall design of your space because Hunter Douglas has taken window treatments to a whole new level with these premium shades. Come see us today at Richmond Decorating for help with choosing Hunter Douglas premium shades for homes.

There are quite a few styles of premium shades to choose from so the decision can be overwhelming. In order to guarantee that you find the perfect fit for your Richmond, Virginia home, it is best to familiarize yourself with the products available to see which style and benefits align with what you are looking for in a window treatment.

Silhouette® Window Shadings

The Silhouette® Window Shadings are known for their innovative design and striking appearance. With the Silhouette® shade, you are guaranteed to get a window treatment that is as smart as it is beautiful. If you are most concerned about light control, then this is the shade for you because it has been the top product for diffusion of light for over twenty years. The vanes in the shade have a subtle S shape positioned between two different fabrics that are sheer to allow light to filter in beautifully.

However, just because the fabrics are sheer does not mean that you can’t maintain a level of privacy. You can adjust the shades depending on your desired amount of light and privacy. There are multiple fabrics to choose from to customize your Silhouette® shade that filter out the sun’s rays to provide UV protection to your home.

Luminette® Privacy Sheers

On the other hand, if your main concern for your home is maintaining a certain level of privacy, then you should consider the Luminette® Privacy Sheers. The term sheer might cause you to question the effectiveness of this window treatment in terms of providing privacy, but the sheer fabric is actually fixed to vertical vanes that rotate for you to position the window treatment how you prefer. Although this style of premium shade can coordinate with a multitude of different window sizes and shapes, the Luminette® sheer works particularly well with larger sliding glass doors and wider windows in your home.

There is a variety of different fabrics ranging in texture, color and pattern that will allow you to have your custom premium shade be both decorative and functional. You can choose a bolder pattern to emphasize your current decor or choose a texture that blends well with the rest of your home. When the vanes of the shade are open, the light will filter in your space through the fabric of your choice. However, you can position the vanes however you prefer or completely close them for maximum privacy.

These styles are only two examples of the multiple styles of premium shades from Hunter Douglas, including Vignette®, Pirouette®, Solera®, Sonnette™ and Duette®. Come see us today at Richmond Decorating to find the perfect style of premium shade for your Richmond, Virginia home. We have showrooms in Richmond and Glen Allen, Virginia and proudly serve the areas of Henrico, Manakin-Sabot, Midlothian, Mosley, and Chesterfield, VA.

Are you tired of having to be careful around your carpets? Do you get nervous every time one of your children run around the house? Do you fear the damage that one small spill could cause on your flooring? If you are looking for a stress-free flooring situation, then hardwood may be the best option for you. More and more families are turning to hardwood floors for their durability, clean-up, and classic appearance. Even if you are concerned about the price, you may be surprised at how investing in hardwood floors could save you money in the long-term. Keep on reading to learn more about why hardwood floors are great for family homes.

Although hardwood floors have always been a popular option for flooring, that popularity is only increasing as more people realize the benefits that come with this unique material. Hardwood floors are renowned for their beauty and versatility, meaning that they can blend with classic decor or complement a more modern aesthetic.

However, their functionality doesn’t end with their appearance. Hardwood floors can actually handle more wear and tear than other similar flooring products, making it ideal for families. You don’t have to sacrifice the decorative elements of your home for fear of damage with hardwood floors. Similarly, they are easy to clean and maintain. With children, there are times when it feels like you are constantly having to clean and pick up after their messes, so why should your flooring be one more thing that you have to add to that list? It is a very sanitary option because it does not absorb as much dust and germs as carpet or other similar products.

You no longer have to be fearful of stains. A majority of hardwood floors are actually sealed with a protective coating, preventing any spill from causing too much damage. They are incredibly low maintenance and really only require a simple regular cleaning. To keep hardwood floors looking their best, you just need to sweep and mop the surface regularly to keep it sanitary and shining.

However, if you do get a scratch or some sort of damage on your hardwood floors, they can always be refinished. You do not immediately need to go and replace your flooring if there is a dent or crack, for a lot of hardwood floors can be refinished a handful of times before needing to be replaced. Given that hardwood floors are versatile in their appearance and can be placed anywhere in your home, it is possible that areas that receive more foot traffic may be susceptible to scratching.

The sustainability component of hardwood flooring is another draw to this material. Given that they don’t need to be replaced as often and that wood is an abundant material, you are making a conscious environmental decision when purchasing this product.

Don’t let your flooring be another hassle that you have to deal with on top of other family obligations. Hardwood floors are easy to clean, maintain, are more sanitary, and will fit beautifully within your home. For more information about how hardwood floors would work in your family home, come see us at Richmond Decorating. We have locations in Richmond, Glen Allen, and Newport News, Virginia and proudly serve the areas of Henrico, Manakin-Sabot, Midlothian, Mosley, and Chesterfield, VA.
