One of the best parts about our industry is seeing what people are able to do with the window treatments they order. While we are certainly aware of what each of our products can do, seeing them in action is truly something else.
And when our customers are proud to show off their rooms with some freshly-installed window treatments, we want to make sure they get that chance. Becoming a “Happy Customer” is how you get entered into a contest to win a $250 Visa gift card.
Not surprisingly there are plenty of entries (we are the highest-rated and most-reviewed window fashions company in the world, after all), but looking through them one thing we’ve learned from our Happy Customers is that there is no one style or color that makes them, well, happy. Every room requires something a little different, and we’d like to know more about what went into creating each unique look.
The best way to find out is to ask, which is what we’re doing here.
So welcome to one of our newest Happy Customers, J. Finlay, who ordered Classic Roman Shades in the Simply White color
J. told us the shades arrived sooner than expected and were easy to install, while the upgraded motorization is a hit.
We’re certainly glad she’s happy, but why go with the Roman Shades in the first place?
“I decided to order my Roman Shades from Select Blinds because of the price, quality, and choice of colors. I wanted white so it would match our window trim/crown molding and wanted a more contemporary look, so I chose the flat fold option to replace my heavy blinds.
“Since my window faces west, it was a difficult decision whether to go with blackout shades or light filtering. I chose the light filtering, and as you can see in the third picture (below), it works beautifully partially down with bright sunlight shining. Choosing the motorized remote was also a factor in choosing this shade.”
It is great to know that installation was easy, as we’re sure you couldn’t wait to start using your new shades. Now that they have been up for a bit, what do you like best about them?
“With the motorized remote, I can easily raise or lower this shade to allow more light into the room, and lower it when the sun is on the west side of the house. My cats can now sit on the window ledge and look out at the world on that sides of the house, and when it’s colder, they love to lay on the floor where the sun shines in.
“Since they are white, I did spray the front of the shade with fabric protector spray, and used a UV spray on the back of the fabric since Florida sun is brutal.”
Of course we want the cats to be happy, and it’s good that both you and your feline friends are enjoying what the shades have to offer. It’s clear why you are a fan of your Roman Shades, but is there anything else you’d like for us to know?
“I will definitely consider replacing another blind in my house with a Roman Shade from Select Blinds. Detailed measuring instructions and online videos really helped when placing my order.”
That’s what we like to hear, both for shopping with us again and being helped by the instructions. We for sure understand why some would be hesitant to do this all on their own, but we’re glad you found out how simple the process can be. From a look at the photos, it’s easy to see why you’re a fan!
