Window Dressing Wisdom

Stephanie Kratz • June 18, 2025

Look Beyond the Blinds

Let's talk about something often overlooked but absolutely critical to a truly luxurious home: your window treatments! It's easy to think they're just there to block the sun (and occasionally your neighbors), but in luxury design, window coverings are so much more than mere functional necessities. They're an opportunity to add serious style, control light like a pro, and give your home that utterly finished, custom feel.


Think about it: those bare windows are like a beautiful outfit missing its accessories! At Stephanie Kratz Interiors, we consider window treatments "the luxe layers"—the final touch that ties a room together. We're talking about the soft, flowing elegance of custom drapery that pools just so on the floor, adding height and drama. Or perhaps the sleek sophistication of automated shades that glide open and closed with the touch of a button, offering effortless privacy and precise light control.


It's not just about what you see from the inside, either. The right window treatment can enhance your home's exterior curb appeal, presenting a cohesive and polished look from every angle. We select materials that aren't just pretty but also practical—think performance fabrics that stand up to that intense Texas sun, or insulating layers that help keep you cool (and your energy bill in check!).


Whether it's the rich texture of woven wood blinds, the crisp lines of Roman shades, or the sumptuous feel of custom velvet drapes, every choice impacts the room's aesthetic, its privacy, and its ability to manage light. It's about finding that perfect balance of form and function, turning a simple window into a statement piece. So, let's stop just covering your windows and start truly dressing them.
