Although it’s easy to fall into the mindset that window treatment options are limited, actually the opposite is true. No matter if the home was built 100 years ago or more, contemporary window fashions can help complement its style. At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we can help you find just the right covering for your older home. Be sure to speak with one of our consultants today!

Classic Appeal

For a timeless, classic look, consider wood blinds or shutters. They’re durable and sturdy, and they’re available in numerous natural grain finishes, color variations, and textures. Wood or wood-look treatments add warmth and personality to a space, and they can complement wood flooring or stained wood trim that older homes frequently have. If you’re looking for a sophisticated aesthetic, select Parkland® Wood Blinds. They made in over 50 colors in stains and paints that maintain their luster through the years. If you want the durability of composite materials, choose Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds, which feature the look of real wood but are guaranteed to never fade, yellow, warp, or bow.

For Clean Lines

Roller shades are a popular, uncomplicated window covering that can bring a sleek minimalism to the room. They can complement almost any style and are available in numerous patterns, colors, and textures. Designer Roller Shades feature clean lines, flawless operation, and minimal light gaps. Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades are both simple and energy-efficient. Their gentle curves offer visual interest, and they create softly diffused light throughout the room.

Both Modern and Traditional

Roman shades are elegant and traditional, but bring softness and style that blends with modern sensibilities. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades have no exposed rear cords, offering clean, child- and pet-safe elegance. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades bring a natural, organic feel to the space, because they’re made of woven grasses, reeds, woods, and bamboo.

Adding Flow

Whether you use it as a standalone window covering or to layer a window treatment that’s already on your window, drapery can set the mood and bring sophistication to your room. It can help your ceilings look taller and your windows look larger, and it can complement your home’s heritage with its style and hardware.
