But I really didn't know what would work best, and that's where Exciting Windows by Apollo really helped me. > > Tina came to my house with samples and I told her what I was looking to accomplish in each room. For example, I wanted privacy and light control in the kitchen without sacrificing the view. In the study, I needed to let some light in while blurring the view. It was nice having an expert to guild me through all the options. > > They were super easy to work with and accommodating to my schedule.

Thank you. A: Hi Jody. Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, I am unable to answer your question because we do not work with paint. We make custom window treatments and are not involved with the interior design of our clients homes. **Q: KIndly advise on the color selection** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please advise on your color selection thank you A: Thank you for asking. Our client had painted her walls based on her comforter prior to consulting with us on fabrics for her window treatments. Our job was to coordinate the fabric for the draperies in with her existing comforter and paint. **Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi! What color paint is used on the walls? A: The paint color is a Porter Paint and the color is Light Sage. **Q: Hobbled roman v. flat style** *(in Photo Questions)* Is a hobbled roman shade as good as a flat one for room darkening and draft insulation? A: I would like to thank you for your question. Both hobbled and flat roman shades can provide comparable room darkening and insulative properties. Details, such as, the fabric, type of lining, and where the shade is mounted in relationship to the window play a role in how insulative and room darkening the shade can be. If you are thinking of having a custom roman shade(s) made, it is important to work with a certified window fashion consultant. A certified window fashions consultant will assure that your concerns regarding room darkening and insulation are covered. Your biggest concern then would be deciding which style you like best. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-08.*
