The windows in this Frisco home are tall and wide, set under a sloped ceiling that carries daylight deep into the house. They are the reason the rooms feel open before anything is added to them, and they are also what makes the house hard to cover. Standard sizes do not reach the openings, and a treatment heavy enough to control the light would take away the very thing the architecture was built for.
The owner wanted the brightness kept and the glare gone. Covering more of the glass would have cost the brightness, so the fabric had to do the work. We measured every opening on site and built each shade to its own dimensions, twenty-two windows in all, fitted and installed in a single visit.
The fabric is Hebron in beige, a warm neutral that filters daylight without stopping it. With the shades down the rooms stay usable at midday. The light is softened and spread across the room, and the beige sits close enough to the wall color that the shades read as part of the room and not as something hung in front of it.
The upper windows still carry light through the house, the rooms that need to darken can, and the openness the builder designed for is still the first thing you notice walking in.
