These beautiful cathedral style windows are not only an architectural design element but are built for the view. Designed to accentuate and not to distract from the outdoor setting, the window treatments are hung at the upper windows, framing the views. Elegant and tailored swags and jabots are used. The swags are draped over a decorative rod and create a shape that softens the architectural design of the window. A solar shade was also used to help with light control and reflection on the television. These shades are semi-transparent, allowing you to still see through the shade, but offering light filtering properties. Solar shades were mainly used in commercial settings but have transitioned into residential. Reaching the height of these shades can be difficult so the option of a remote control would be available to make the opening and closing of the shades easier.
