Bloomin Blinds of North CharlotteDiscover how premium light-filtering materials and smart-home automation can secure street-level entryway glass without losing natural daylight.
Choosing the right window treatments for a home's front entrance is one of the most challenging design decisions a homeowner can face. The front door is the focal point of a home's curb appeal, often featuring expansive glass panels or side-by-side double doors designed to make a grand architectural statement.
During the day, these large glass features are an asset, flooding entryways and foyers with beautiful natural daylight. However, for homes situated on busy local roads or highly trafficked street-level lots, the dynamic completely changes once the sun goes down.
The moment interior lights are switched on in the evening, a stark contrast is created with the dark outdoors. This creates a severe privacy issue, leaving the entire foyer completely exposed to passing traffic and pedestrians. Finding a solution that delivers absolute evening privacy without permanently plunging the front entrance into darkness during the day requires understanding how modern window treatment materials and operating systems interact.
Light-Filtering vs. Blackout Fabrics
The first step in solving street-level privacy is selecting the correct fabric type. Many homeowners mistakenly assume they need heavy, opaque blackout shades to secure their home from outside eyes at night. While blackout fabrics certainly block 100% of the view, they also block 100% of the natural daylight during the day, forcing you to constantly raise and lower the shades just to see inside your own foyer.
A more effective approach for entryways utilizes premium light-filtering materials. These specialized fabrics are engineered with a precise, tight weave that operates on the principles of directional light and optical density.
Daytime Functionality: When the sun is shining outside, the exterior light levels are significantly higher than the interior light levels. The light-filtering fabric diffuses the intense, direct sunlight into a soft, ambient glow throughout the entryway. This keeps the home bright, eliminates harsh glares, and protects interior hardwood flooring, paint, and trim from damaging UV rays.
Night-Time Functionality: At night, the lighting dynamic reverses. The interior foyer lights make the inside bright, while the outside is dark. Because of the specialized tight weave, the fabric blocks the transmission of clear shapes and details. To a person standing out on the street or driving by on a busy road, the view inside is completely obstructed, delivering total privacy when the family is home for the evening.
Challenges of Front Door Installations
Securing privacy for a double wide front entrance introduces unique structural hurdles that standard windows do not face. Traditional blinds with hanging cords or manual pull chains are poorly suited for front doors. They disrupt the clean architectural lines of a grand foyer, create a safety hazard, and can easily get tangled or damaged when the doors are opened and closed.
The window treatments must be mounted high and wide enough above the door trim to ensure that the front doors can swing open and close freely without ever catching on the fabric or the lower hem bar.
How We Applied These Principles in Sherrills Ford, NC
Applying these exact educational principles to real-world homes is what Cole and I do every day at Bloomin' Blinds of North Charlotte. We recently worked with a homeowner in Sherrills Ford whose beautiful new construction property sat on a highly trafficked road. They loved their double wide front door entrance but felt entirely too exposed to the street at night.
We brought our mobile showroom directly to their driveway. This allowed us to hold up premium light-filtering fabric samples directly against their entryway glass, matching the materials perfectly to their home's natural lighting, interior paint, and trim before making a single cut.
To solve their street-level privacy issue, we custom-built and installed two matching light-filtering roller shades, mounting them flawlessly side-by-side above the front door frame. To keep the home’s interior design completely cohesive, we carried the exact same style to the back of the house, installing a matching single roller shade on the rear door.
Smart Home Window Automation at Your Fingertips
Because entryway windows can be tall and awkward to reach manually, our family team integrated advanced smart-home motorization into this Sherrills Ford project.
Beyond the convenience of a handheld remote control, these automated roller shades feature seamless Wi-Fi integration. The homeowners can control their privacy through a dedicated smartphone app or link the system directly to their existing voice-activated smart home networks, including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.
This allows for complete hands-free window automation. The clients can program custom daily routines—such as setting the front entry shades to automatically lower exactly at sunset—or simply use a voice command to secure the foyer instantly from the comfort of the couch.

Blondie's Treehouse IncReferencing this square footage as an internal courtyard might be a stretch. A more accurate description would perhaps be the awesome things that New Yorkers can do with the tiny spaces we have.
The parameters of the project lend to its description. This Tribeca residential building’s shared amenity space and gym on the lower level opens up onto a 350 square foot space of brick walls and concrete pavers. The south wall of this space is made up by the terraces belonging to the residential units above and while the setting allows for minimal ambient light, each balcony looks down onto the shared space below.
In order to provide visual interest from the gym and the overhead views, Blondie’s designers Sara Baerwald and Eva Vessio utilized Jay Scott’s rectangle containers lining the north wall as well as surrounding the utilities in the southwest corner. They then created 8 foot faux boxwood hedge on the north wall and the appropriate height to conceal the utilities. From below the hedge creates the feeling of a courtyard and from above it softens the view of the once barren space. Adding color and functionality, the concrete pavers were replaced with rubber tiles in a bright aqua. To play off of this color and add a unique level of visual impact, artist Chris Pearson designed and painted a multi-color prism mural. Primarily on the east wall and then stretching over the hedges to the south, the depth and dimension that this mural provides for the space is incredible. It is a testament to the successful solutions we conjure when thinking outside the box and allowing for unique site specific resolutions.

Roberts Residential RemodelingWe love to scream it from the mountain tops – we have one of the only in-house millwork shops in the metro area! Creating custom designs to fit your space is one of our specialties, and although most utilize our shop for cabinetry, we can help you add texture to your home with accent work. Check out these ideas for using millwork to achieve timeless wall and ceiling pieces to your home:
Shiplap or tongue-in-groove paneling: There are so many possibilities with shiplap or tongue in groove paneling. Patterns, colors, and placement – either on the walls or ceiling or both – can bring a touch of design and aesthetic without the clutter.
Ceiling beams: Adding ceiling beams to your space is an especially exciting addition to consider if you have some height in your room. It keeps a layered, cozy feeling without making your room feel smaller, allowing the grandiosity of your space to shine through.
Coffered Ceiling: This is a great option if you have a slightly lower ceiling and are looking to create the look of height in your room. Lending the look of exposed beams, the coffered ceiling can bring an organic or industrial feel to your space while keeping the elegance.
Accent Wall: Utilizing millwork, you can create a spectacular accent wall in your home. Similar to the shiplap and tongue and groove option, utilizing your space with patterns and colors can offer movement and a visual piece to your wall while leaving out the business.
Fireplace Mantle: We love creating custom fireplace mantels for our customers, and integrating it into the look and feel of your home is where we shine. Whether you want something clean and simple or period-specific and design heavy, we can do it.
Wainscoting: An accent piece that once had a purely practical use in the home is once again making a comeback as a desired design element. Create the ideal farmhouse look you have always wanted while bringing charm and comfort to your home.
Contact us today to learn more about how we can make the perfect custom creation at our in-house millwork shop to fit your home.

Spire Integrated Systems Inc.Sustainable Design Meets Smart Technology
This home featured a request from the client to use as many environmentally friendly materials and fabrics as possible. Many common shade manufacturers use materials with PVC plastic, which is known for off-gassing hazardous chemicals that linger in the air in the home for years. The main floor roller shades met the client’s request for an eco-friendly fabric by utilizing motorized shades with GreenScreen fabric. In other rooms, the designer and client wanted the classic look and soft fabrics with roman shades and drapery tracks on several windows in the house. By partnering with the interior designer and fabric workroom, we were able to provide a custom solution for motorization of roman shades and drapery.
Lighting Control
The client is able control all of the lighting and window treatments in the house with a single control system. This eliminates the need for extra devices on the wall or remote controls that clutter up the space and get lost. By utilizing the custom window treatments, the house is able to conserve energy by keeping the house warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer by providing insulation and blocking sunlight. The lighting control system further helps to conserve energy by beautifully dimming LED lights as well as using quick buttons that turn off all of the lights in the house, or un-occupied rooms, with the press of a single button.
Motorized Window Treatments
Motorized window treatments add a high level of convenience to any project, especially those with many windows in hard to reach places. The challenge with many manufacturers is a limitation of style and fabric selection, some may be as basic as only roller shades. Often times these come with un-reliable, wireless controls.
On this Birmingham, MI project completed in March 2019, we partnered with the interior designer and drapery workroom to provide a truly unique solution. The homeowner and designer’s requests included many different styles of window treatments including rollers shades, roman shades and motorized draperies. Typically, this would result in a collection of various shade manufacturers with unsightly remotes scattered across each room or stuck to the wall for control. Utilizing standard offerings, coupled with an incredible team effort by the designer and drapery workroom, we provided all of the requested styles of window treatments, and were able to control them all on a single system. This means that each room has a single, elegant keypad built into the wall that controls not only the window treatments, but the lighting as well.
When leaving/entering the home, all of the window coverings can be raised or lowered with a single button press. Shades and draperies can also be set to operate based on the time of day for automatic day-to-day operation using sunlight as a guide. In the end, we achieved convenience, function and sophisticated style.

Save homeA clean, white, and fresh look never cease to accentuate your kitchen’s interior.
Whether you have a small kitchen or a large one, it is highly unlikely to make a wrong decision with the white color. A white kitchen is a timeless addition to your entire décor, which always radiates more light, a bright look, and an aesthetically soothing aura.
However, although the color white has the power to uplift the look of your kitchen, it is not enough to just paint the walls white. You need to strike a chord between various textures and colors along with kitchen elements, like shaker kitchen cabinets, countertop, etc.
In the following section, we have compiled a list of modern kitchen cabinets ideas. Read on see some of the best white kitchen cabinet styles for your kitchen.
Top 10 Modern White Kitchen Ideas
There’s no doubt in the fact that a white kitchen and RTA cabinets can form the perfect base for your kitchen’s interior. You can add some plants, a pinch of gold, and or a simple black countertop for a different yet appealing look. Below we have discussed some of these ideas. Read on:
1. Airy and Light
The simplest way to design your modern white kitchen is to use a white and timber combination. This can include white cabinets, timber doors, and white wall tiles. Or you can choose timber RTA cabinets paired with white tiles, flooring, and countertop.
2. Sophisticated
Another way is to sophisticatedly turn around your white choices. Here’s an example:
Use white cabinets, steel fittings, and accessories paired with textured white tiles and marble countertop. The flooring can also be white, similar to the countertop. This would give a nice, clean, and refreshing look to your modern white kitchen
.
3. Stone Look
The stone look is always best paired with white cabinets. So, if you utilize shaker kitchen cabinets, which are white, and pair it with everything white stone-like look, then your kitchen would look mesmerizing. This means using marble countertop, marble flooring, and stone-looking back tiles.
4. Monochrome
Black and white appeals to a lot of homeowners. It is the best combination that is unlikely to go wrong. In fact, it helps you move ahead of the ordinary kitchen interior.
You can set your monochrome modern white kitchen in two ways:
Firstly, you have white cabinets paired with black countertop and black fittings. Too much black would reduce lighting and make your kitchen look smaller. So, add white flooring and white back tiles.
Secondly, you can keep the lower RTA cabinets black, and rest everything white, such as textured back tiles, white knobs, etc. You can also pair it with timber upper cabinets.
5. Grey Shade
Similar to monochrome, grey is also amazing. It looks much more sophisticated than monochrome, but a little less bold. So, you can keep your modern white kitchen in these two shades. For example, grey cabinets and white countertop, tiles, and flooring. Here, glossy back tiles can accentuate the look.
6. Brass Touch
Brass touch can literally light up any dull space. If you just add a brass lamp to your living room or kitchen, it can drastically enhance the look. You can use brass in the form of brass windows and lamps. You can also add copper stools and upper cabinets for the same effect.
7. White Countertop
One thing that can make your modern white kitchen look extremely beautiful is the attention to detail. This includes adding a white countertop that really improves the look. A lot of people add a white countertop but making it complement your cabinets can improve the interior a lot.
For example, marble countertop, wooden flooring, white cabinets, and copper knobs.
8. Wood Shelves
The color of wood and timber automatically adds a sense of warmth to your kitchen. So, you can also use either upper or lower timber cabinets. If you are using timber or wood for the upper cabinet and RTA cabinets for the lower cabinets, then you can keep upper cabinets as open shelves. This can also be a bar wood shelf.
9. White Tiles

Top 10 Modern White Kitchen Ideas
There’s no doubt in the fact that a white kitchen and RTA cabinets can form the perfect base for your kitchen’s interior. You can add some plants, a pinch of gold, and or a simple black countertop for a different yet appealing look. Below we have discussed some of these ideas. Read on:
1. Airy and Light
The simplest way to design your modern white kitchen is to use a white and timber combination. This can include white cabinets, timber doors, and white wall tiles. Or you can choose timber RTA cabinets paired with white tiles, flooring, and countertop.
2. Sophisticated
Another way is to sophisticatedly turn around your white choices. Here’s an example:
Use white cabinets, steel fittings, and accessories paired with textured white tiles and marble countertop. The flooring can also be white, similar to the countertop. This would give a nice, clean, and refreshing look to your modern white kitchen
.
3. Stone Look
The stone look is always best paired with white cabinets. So, if you utilize shaker kitchen cabinets, which are white, and pair it with everything white stone-like look, then your kitchen would look mesmerizing. This means using marble countertop, marble flooring, and stone-looking back tiles.
4. Monochrome
Black and white appeals to a lot of homeowners. It is the best combination that is unlikely to go wrong. In fact, it helps you move ahead of the ordinary kitchen interior.
You can set your monochrome modern white kitchen in two ways:
Firstly, you have white cabinets paired with black countertop and black fittings. Too much black would reduce lighting and make your kitchen look smaller. So, add white flooring and white back tiles.
Secondly, you can keep the lower RTA cabinets black, and rest everything white, such as textured back tiles, white knobs, etc. You can also pair it with timber upper cabinets.
5. Grey Shade
Similar to monochrome, grey is also amazing. It looks much more sophisticated than monochrome, but a little less bold. So, you can keep your modern white kitchen in these two shades. For example, grey cabinets and white countertop, tiles, and flooring. Here, glossy back tiles can accentuate the look.
6. Brass Touch
Brass touch can literally light up any dull space. If you just add a brass lamp to your living room or kitchen, it can drastically enhance the look. You can use brass in the form of brass windows and lamps. You can also add copper stools and upper cabinets for the same effect.
7. White Countertop
One thing that can make your modern white kitchen look extremely beautiful is the attention to detail. This includes adding a white countertop that really improves the look. A lot of people add a white countertop but making it complement your cabinets can improve the interior a lot.
For example, marble countertop, wooden flooring, white cabinets, and copper knobs.
8. Wood Shelves
The color of wood and timber automatically adds a sense of warmth to your kitchen. So, you can also use either upper or lower timber cabinets. If you are using timber or wood for the upper cabinet and RTA cabinets for the lower cabinets, then you can keep upper cabinets as open shelves. This can also be a bar wood shelf.
9. White Tiles
Basic, old-school white tiles are also great. Earlier, we had small white tiles that used to go with everything. These tiles still complement your kitchen. Use white RTA cabinets, black countertop, and white tiles for a perfect contrast.

Blondie's Treehouse IncReferencing this square footage as an internal courtyard might be a stretch. A more accurate description would perhaps be the awesome things that New Yorkers can do with the tiny spaces we have.
The parameters of the project lend to its description. This Tribeca residential building’s shared amenity space and gym on the lower level opens up onto a 350 square foot space of brick walls and concrete pavers. The south wall of this space is made up by the terraces belonging to the residential units above and while the setting allows for minimal ambient light, each balcony looks down onto the shared space below.
In order to provide visual interest from the gym and the overhead views, Blondie’s designers Sara Baerwald and Eva Vessio utilized Jay Scott’s rectangle containers lining the north wall as well as surrounding the utilities in the southwest corner. They then created 8 foot faux boxwood hedge on the north wall and the appropriate height to conceal the utilities. From below the hedge creates the feeling of a courtyard and from above it softens the view of the once barren space. Adding color and functionality, the concrete pavers were replaced with rubber tiles in a bright aqua. To play off of this color and add a unique level of visual impact, artist Chris Pearson designed and painted a multi-color prism mural. Primarily on the east wall and then stretching over the hedges to the south, the depth and dimension that this mural provides for the space is incredible. It is a testament to the successful solutions we conjure when thinking outside the box and allowing for unique site specific resolutions.

Spire Integrated Systems Inc.Sustainable Design Meets Smart Technology
This home featured a request from the client to use as many environmentally friendly materials and fabrics as possible. Many common shade manufacturers use materials with PVC plastic, which is known for off-gassing hazardous chemicals that linger in the air in the home for years. The main floor roller shades met the client’s request for an eco-friendly fabric by utilizing motorized shades with GreenScreen fabric. In other rooms, the designer and client wanted the classic look and soft fabrics with roman shades and drapery tracks on several windows in the house. By partnering with the interior designer and fabric workroom, we were able to provide a custom solution for motorization of roman shades and drapery.
Lighting Control
The client is able control all of the lighting and window treatments in the house with a single control system. This eliminates the need for extra devices on the wall or remote controls that clutter up the space and get lost. By utilizing the custom window treatments, the house is able to conserve energy by keeping the house warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer by providing insulation and blocking sunlight. The lighting control system further helps to conserve energy by beautifully dimming LED lights as well as using quick buttons that turn off all of the lights in the house, or un-occupied rooms, with the press of a single button.
Motorized Window Treatments
Motorized window treatments add a high level of convenience to any project, especially those with many windows in hard to reach places. The challenge with many manufacturers is a limitation of style and fabric selection, some may be a s basic as only roller shades. Often times these come with un-reliable, wireless controls.
On this Birmingham, MI project completed in March 2019, we partnered with the interior designer and drapery workroom to provide a truly unique solution. The homeowner and designer’s requests included many different styles of window treatments including rollers shades, roman shades and motorized draperies. Typically, this would result in a collection of various shade manufacturers with unsightly remotes scattered across each room or stuck to the wall for control. Utilizing standard offerings, coupled with an incredible team effort by the designer and drapery workroom, we provided all of the requested styles of window treatments, and were able to control them all on a single system. This means that each room has a single, elegant keypad built into the wall that controls not only the window treatments, but the lighting as well.
When leaving/entering the home, all of the window coverings can be raised or lowered with a single button press. Shades and draperies can also be set to operate based on the time of day for automatic day-to-day operation using sunlight as a guide. In the end, we achieved convenience, function and sophisticated style.
