Start With Style: Draperies & Panels That Add Warmth and Texture

Custom draperies are one of the most beautiful and functional ways to insulate your windows. With thick fabrics and optional thermal linings, draperies help block drafts and add a cozy feel to any room.

Why They Work Well in Winter:

  • Thick materials help trap warm air indoors

  • Lined panels boost insulation and privacy

  • Floor-length designs create a strong thermal seal

  • Pair beautifully with shades for enhanced performance

In a Hill Country home, draperies add elegance while helping regulate temperature naturally.

Solar Shades: Not Just for Sun—Winter Benefits Included

Solar shades are widely known for glare control, but many homeowners are surprised to learn they can also assist with winter comfort. Tightly woven fabrics reduce heat loss while maintaining outdoor visibility.

Advantages:

  • Excellent for bright living rooms and sunrooms

  • Higher-opacity fabrics offer better insulation

  • Reduce glare without darkening the space

  • Ideal to layer with drapery for stronger warmth

Solar shades are a smart year-round solution for Texas homes with abundant sunlight.

Cellular Shades: A Top Performer for Energy Efficiency

Cellular shades (also called honeycomb shades) are one of the most effective solutions for keeping the cold out. Their built-in air pockets form a thermal layer that slows heat transfer.

Why Homeowners Choose Them:

  • Single, double, and triple-cell options

  • Excellent insulation for windows facing northern winds

  • Cordless and motorized controls available

  • Works for both modern and traditional interiors

These shades are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and large picture windows.

Plantation Shutters: Solid Construction for Year-Round Comfort

Plantation shutters are valued for their classic look—and their ability to block drafts with a snug, secure fit. Whether made from real wood or composite materials, shutters add a sealed barrier that helps maintain indoor temperature.

Benefits:

  • Strong insulation when fully closed

  • Durable and long-lasting

  • Adds architectural appeal

  • Easy to clean and maintain

Perfect for Hill Country aesthetics and Kerrville’s mix of traditional and modern homes.

Thermal Roller Shades: Clean and Minimalist with Insulating Power

If you prefer a streamlined look, roller shades with thermal or blackout linings offer sleek style with meaningful insulating benefits.

Highlights:

  • Simple, modern appearance

  • Opacity choices for full privacy or filtered light

  • Can be layered with drapery for added insulation

  • Great for home offices, nurseries, and media rooms

A practical option that’s both functional and stylish.

Roman Shades: Soft Fabric Folds That Keep the Cold Out

Roman shades blend luxury and function with their fabric-rich design. Add a thermal lining, and they offer impressive insulation while complementing Kerrville’s rustic or contemporary interiors.

What Makes Them Effective:

  • Thick materials reduce drafts

  • Beautiful soft folds enhance décor

  • Works well alone or layered

  • Ideal for dining rooms, bedrooms, and sitting areas

Roman shades are an excellent way to mix comfort with elevated style.
