What Window Treatments Can Be Cordless?

 

What window treatments can be cordless? Well, the short answer to that, is practically anything! Yes, even window coverings like shades and blinds have cordless options available. But the real question is, which cordless treatment is right for your design project?

As experts in the field, we understand that selecting the perfect window treatment involves various considerations, from window height and size to safety and convenience. So, let’s explore some cordless options that cater to both aesthetics and practicality.

Motorization: The Best in Luxury & Convenience

When the budget allows, we will always recommend motorization for our client’s window treatments. They bring a touch of luxury and convenience to any space. The best part is, any window treatment can be motorized: soft treatments like drapes and Roman shades, and hard treatments like roller shades, woven wood shades, blinds, and shutters. And, they can be easily integrated into smart home systems, allowing your clients to control their window treatments with the touch of a button or even voice commands.

Shades: A World of Choices

Shades are available in a myriad of styles to suit various design aesthetics. For instance, woven wood shades add warmth and texture, while roller shades deliver a sleek, contemporary look. Roman shades provide a touch of elegance to any space. But what about the lifting mechanism?

Lift Options

When motorization is not in the budget, cordless lift shades, like the ones above that I loved at this year’s IWCE (International Window Coverings Expo), are the next best thing. These are an amazing option! They can be so smooth, and so easy to operate.

However, it’s crucial to remember that the ideal lift mechanism largely depends on factors like the window’s height and your personal reach. A very tall window may not be practical with manual cordless shades if you can’t easily reach to put them up. It’s also important to be aware of minimum width requirements of certain vendors, and if the window is deep enough to allow for an inside mount shade if the client doesn’t want to cover up their beautiful molding.

Shutters

For those clients who adore a classic, timeless look, shutters are a fantastic option. Cordless shutters offer a seamless and visually pleasing solution for various window shapes and sizes. They complement traditional and contemporary designs alike and provide complete light control with their adjustable louvers.

October is Window Covering Safety Month

October is Window Covering Safety Month, a reminder of the importance of safety in your designs. When working in homes with children or pets, cordless options are the best and only choice. Eliminating cords reduces potential hazards, ensuring both the little ones and furry friends are protected.
