Enjoy Your Beautiful Harbor View: Screen Shades in Blaine
Many Blaine homes look out over Drayton Harbor or Semiahmoo Bay, with sunsets that light up the water every evening. Screen shades soften that bright light while keeping the view in sight.
Choosing the Right Style
How Screen Shades Work
Screen shades use a woven fabric with tiny openings. Light passes through softly, and you can still see the water clearly during the day. When raised, they roll up neatly out of sight.
Openness Levels
Screen fabrics range from about 1 to 10 percent openness. Lower openness gives softer light and more privacy. Higher openness gives a brighter room and clearer view.
Colors
Darker fabrics like charcoal and espresso give the clearest view of the harbor. Lighter fabrics glow softly and blend into bright coastal interiors.
Evening Privacy
Pair screen shades with a light filtering or room darkening roller shade, or layer them with drapery for evenings.
Screen Shades in Blaine Homes
In west-facing rooms, screen shades soften sunset light over the water. On large view windows, motorization makes them easy to raise and lower. In condos near the harbor, they bring a clean, modern finish.
What We Carry
We offer Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades and Designer Roller Shades with PowerView® Automation, along with screen shades from Norman, Graber and Lafayette. Your consultation starts at home. We’ll look at your windows, talk about how you use each room and bring samples so you can see colors and materials in your own light. From there, we handle the measuring, ordering and professional installation.
