Window Treatments - Thoughts on Design featuring Kim Carroll - Episode 13

Thoughts on Design - featuring Kim Carroll Interiors

In Episode 13, Kim discusses window treatments, why they are needed, and the many options you can choose from.
Did you know that the word “window” comes from the Old Norse words for “eye” and “wind,” or “the eye of the house through which the wind comes through”? What happens to this romantic notion when too much wind comes in, or too much rain or hot sunlight?
Over the centuries, people have created many different ways to control light and heat, as well as prying eyes. As Kim discusses in this episode, in addition to being purely practical, window treatments become an integral part of the design of a room, whether they are simple roller shades, elaborate draperies, or classic wood blinds. In this episode, Kim discusses these hard and soft treatment options, and includes a few “window atrocities.”
