Forget the generic skylights available from the big box retailers - any skylight in your home will naturally draw the eye, so make it special. This is a motorized retractable ridge skylight. An even more accurate name is a saddle ridge, since it sits on the roof's ridgeline, like a saddle.

SILHOUETTE® WINDOW SHADINGS Like the subtle cast their name suggests, Silhouette® window shadings, with Signature S-Vane™ easily create beautiful gradations of light and shadow. Soft fabric vanes are suspended between two sheers, diffusing softened light deep into a room. Tilt the vanes to suit the privacy you desire while maintaining UV protection.

When it comes to home automation and integrating your window coverings, the name to remember is Lutron. These battery operated solar screens can be controlled from individual remote controls as well as any smart device. Integrate Lutron shades, lights, and music.

NANTUCKET™ WINDOW SHADINGS In this modern take on window shadings, daylight becomes a beautiful backdrop with the sheer fabric of Nantucket™ window shadings. Closed, they offer privacy and a soft glow; rolled up, they provide a clear view of the outdoors; opened, the vanes give you the best of both – an impressionistic view and soft, filtered light. In every situation, they’re a fresh, youthful approach to windows.

Ninja's Home Transformation At Eblindstore, we take pride in turning our clients’ homes into spaces they love. One recent project stands out as particularly unique and exciting—working with a client named Ninja. Nija had a vision for his home, and we were thrilled to help bring it to life. For the living room, he wanted something light, elegant, and inviting. After discussing his preferences, we installed sheer tulle curtains paired with stunning drapes. The result? A perfectly balanced combination of softness and sophistication that lets in just the right amount of natural light while ensuring privacy. For the bedroom, Ninja desired a more modern and functional solution. He chose sleek roller shades that provide complete light control and a clean aesthetic. The shades not only enhance the room's comfort but also add a stylish touch to his personal retreat. Seeing Ninja’s excitement as we completed the installation was incredibly rewarding. He was thrilled with how everything turned out, and so were we! At Eblindstore, every project is a chance to create something special. Whether it’s a sleek and modern look or a warm, elegant vibe, we’re here to help bring your vision to life. Let us help transform your home, just like we did for Ninja!
