Enhance Project Value and Expand Livable Space with High-Performance Exterior Shading

As you design outdoor spaces for your clients, you need to acknowledge that direct sunlight will often make them unusable. The best-designed spaces will go to waste if you don’t have a way to provide reliable shading. We help interior designers get the most out of their projects with outdoor awnings that let your clients enjoy their spaces no matter the outdoor conditions. 

Beyond the functional benefits of outdoor awnings, these are a stylistic tool in their own right. With custom colors and fabrics to choose from, they help you control the home’s silhouette and overall exterior aesthetic. Our team handles the installation and programming while you focus on the visual result.

Achieve Luxury Aesthetics with Reliable Control and Minimalist Design 

High-end interior design often feels like a battle between your aesthetic vision and the clutter of technology. You spend months selecting specific finishes, only for standard lighting to wash out expensive textures or bulky plastic switches to ruin a clean wall line. When technology isn't part of the initial plan, it will inevitably clash with it. 

When we work with interior designers, we recommend Lutron Homeworks: a design-first lighting control system. It allows the architecture to take center stage while providing the technical infrastructure to support it. We help designers find the balance between architectural intent and smart home functionality.

Home Automation Gives the Finishing Touches to Your Client’s Lighting Control 

High-end interior designers want technology you don’t notice until you’re ready to use it. Many standard lighting systems clutter homes with bulky panels and switches littering the walls. Yet, designers also know layered lighting is important to the design, so simply reducing the number of fixtures isn’t an option. 

At Window Collections, we help interior designers with a trusted combination: Lutron, the golden standard of lighting control, and Josh.ai, a sleek home automation platform with a privacy-focused approach to voice control. As a Lutron Double Diamond Dealer, we help you find solutions that give homeowners the usability they need without hindering your design. 

Enhanced Privacy, Elevated Design, & Interior Protection

For many people, blackout shades are seen less as a design statement and more as a necessity. They maintain complete darkness in bedrooms and media rooms, allowing for uninterrupted sleep and enhanced entertainment. 

Today, however, blackout shades do much more. These window treatments come in numerous styles that elevate a home’s design. From Roman and roller shades to honeycomb cellular shades and draperies, luxury homes maintain their aesthetics while enjoying the benefits of room-darkening window coverings.

Here, we’ll explore why these shades are a designer's first choice for luxury homes.
