If you’ve been researching window treatments, you’ve likely come across motorization.

Once considered a luxury reserved for the highest-end homes, automated shades, blinds, and drapery have quickly become one of the most requested features in residential design.

But are motorized window treatments actually worth the investment?

For many homeowners, the answer is yes — not because they’re a luxury, but because they solve everyday challenges while making a home more comfortable, functional, and enjoyable to live in.

We break it down on the blog ➡️ windowworksstudio.com/are-motorized-window-treatments-worth-it-for-your-home/

Back-to-school routines are officially settling in, and a good night’s sleep can make those early mornings a whole lot easier.

Room-darkening shades help create a darker, quieter-feeling environment at bedtime while also helping manage the heat that can build up in upstairs bedrooms. Here, we paired them with a custom valance and coordinating pillows so the practical solution feels like part of the room—not an afterthought.

Because sometimes the best back-to-school upgrade isn’t in the backpack. It’s at the window.

The calendar may say summer is winding down. Your porch doesn’t have to agree.

Insolroll exterior shades help manage late-day sun, glare, wind, and insects so dinner outside doesn’t have to end just because Labor Day has come and gone. And here in North Carolina, we know there are plenty of good porch evenings still ahead.

If the sun or bugs have been chasing you indoors earlier than you’d like, now might be the time to rethink your outdoor space.

We’re seeing more plaids and tartans finding their way into interiors lately, and we couldn’t be happier about it. They bring warmth, history, and that collected-over-time feeling we’ve always loved, which has us thinking back to one of our favorite projects from last spring.

When we were invited to create a travel-inspired vignette for the IWCE Artisan Atelier, we drew inspiration from Scotland's rich textiles and heritage. We imagined a well-appointed library — layered, tailored, quietly dramatic, and filled with details that felt as though they had been collected over time.

At the heart of the design was an authentic Scottish tartan, which we used for traditional drapery, with a decorative swag inspired by the way this fabric has historically been draped and worn.

Trends may bring these patterns back into the conversation, but there’s a reason they endure. In the right setting, tartan feels timeless, warm, and wonderfully at home.

And the best part? After IWCE, our vignette was donated to benefit The Green Chair Project, a local organization close to our hearts.

The hardworking rooms deserve some love, too. ✨

Mudrooms, laundry rooms, back entries... These may not be the spaces you show off first, but you use them every single day. And when they feel thoughtfully designed, even the everyday routines feel a little nicer.

Here, banded Roman shades bring color and detail into the laundry room beyond, while the bench makes the back entry more useful. *Yes, we made the cushion, too. 😉 Our in-house workroom gives us the flexibility to create soft furnishings and custom details that carry a design from room to room.

Every beautiful room is better with a dog in it. 🐾 For National Dog Day, we’re sharing a few of our favorite four-legged “clients” who’ve made their way into project photos. They may not have chosen the fabric, but they certainly know how to make themselves right at home.

There’s a reason we love layering drapery over blinds.

The blinds do the practical work, managing light and privacy, while the drapery brings softness, color, and a sense of completion to the room.

And this embroidered fabric? It gives you something a printed pattern simply can’t. The stitching adds dimension and texture that changes as the light moves across it.

It’s a hardworking window underneath, with something really beautiful layered on top.
