Saint-Anselme is one of Dieppe's historic Acadian communities, now part of the city, with its church, older family homes and farmland giving way to newer neighbourhoods along the Petitcodiac marshes.
Older homes here need warmth; newer homes need finishing. Both want something that suits the house rather than a catalogue.
What we fit most here: cellular shades for older windows, real wood blinds for living rooms and blackout cellular for bedrooms.
Near the marshes. Homes toward the Petitcodiac marshes look out over wide, open land. That brings big skies and long views, and also wind across the flats in winter and strong evening sun in summer.
Respecting older homes. In the older part of Saint-Anselme, we see more traditional interiors where lined Roman shades or wood blinds suit the house better than a modern roller.
Frequently asked questions
What blinds suit an older Acadian family home?
Cellular shades for warmth and real wood blinds or lined Roman shades for character. We measure each window carefully, because older frames vary.
How long do blinds take in Dieppe?
Most orders are installed about two weeks after the measure.
What blinds suit a home facing open marshland?
Cellular shades for warmth on windward walls, and solar shades on west-facing windows to cut evening glare across the open land.
