Roman Shades and Woven Shades
Roman shades are a staple of CMI's Essex County work: relaxed sheer Roman shades and flat Roman shades in Short Hills homes, and waterfall-style Roman shades in a Maplewood living room. Natural woven shades add texture and soften the light, like the black woven shades in another Maplewood living room, the top-down woven grass shades in a Montclair home and the grass-weave Roman shades in a Livingston bay window. See CMI's Roman shades and woven shades, including Hartmann & Forbes.
Shutters, Blinds and Roller Shades
In Short Hills, CMI has installed plantation shutters with a hidden tilt bar for a cleaner look in one bathroom, and two-inch wood blinds in another. Where a simpler shade suits the room, CMI has installed cordless roller shades in a Livingston home.
Motorized Shades and Lighting Control
In a Short Hills dining room, CMI motorized grass-weave Roman shades. Battery-operated motorized shades, including Lutron's, suit finished rooms where running new wire isn't practical, and they can join a Lutron system so one keypad sets your lights and shades together. See motorized window treatments and Lutron lighting control.
Porches and Outdoor Rooms
Exterior bug-screen roller shades turn a porch into a room you can use all summer, like this one on a Short Hills porch. See outdoor shading.
