Define Your ProjectWith any design project, you want to take some time to think about your vision before you jump in and start making decisions. This especially rings true for those investment pieces (like custom window treatments) that you want to love looking at for more than just one or two seasons. You'll find helpful quick start questions on p19 and a project worksheet on p21.

Form & FunctionHow do you want the window to feel —tailored, romantic, modern? What do you need your window treatments to do —block the sun, create privacy, make the room less drafty? Do you have unique windows or doors? Want to control your shades from anywhere with an App, by voice or touch control? Your answers to these questions will ultimately guide you to the window treatment that truly reflects your wants, needs and style.

One Size Does Not Fit All The arch. The clerestory. The skylight. The bay. The sliding door. The French door. We have custom options for every shape. (Yes, even that one.) At S&N, we know windows and doors don’t come in just one size. Which is why every treatment is made-to-order for a flawless fit. We can say with confidence that a ready-made treatment will simply be a misfit.

Designed To Go TogetherDesign elements should tie together (color, pattern or style), even if they’re going in multiple spaces. Matching is not necessary, but there should be a sense of cohesion. A solid plus a pattern is a popular combination — if your window treatment involves a pattern, pair it with a solid color found within the pattern. Mixing multiple patterns can also be fun, as long as they have one color in common. Hardware is designed to coordinate across all product lines and our library of on-trend fabrics and trim, available by the yard, can be used to make your own decor accents.

Quick Start Questions
With any design project, you want to take some time to evaluate your functional needs and determine your creative vision. Here are some of the key questions to ask yourself as you get started. Go to p21 for our Project Worksheet.
• Who uses the room and what is the room used for –playing, entertaining, working, relaxing or sleeping?
• What’s the specific challenge you need to solve? Is there too much glare on your TV or computer screen? Is the sun fading your sofa or wood floor? Is there too little privacy? Is the room too cold or hot?
• What are your favorite colors? Not sure? Check your closet. Usually the colors we love most are reflected in our wardrobes as well as our homes.
• Are there patterns or colors in the room? Or are most of the furnishings solids or neutrals?
• What’s the style you hope to achieve? Casual or formal? Dramatic or minimal? Traditional or modern? Eclectic or classic?
• Are your windows tall or hard to reach?
• What’s your budget?
