Eaglewood is classic established Bedford: larger two-storey family homes on wooded lots off Eaglewood Drive, built largely in the 1980s and 1990s, with mature trees, quiet streets and easy access to the highway. Many homeowners here have been in their house for years and are now renovating with care: new kitchens, refinished floors, updated bathrooms.
Window coverings are often the last thing to be updated, and the thing that makes a renovated room finally feel finished.
What we fit most here: tailored Roman shades in dining rooms and primary bedrooms, cellular shades for warmth throughout, real wood blinds in studies, and motorized shades on the tall foyer window most of these homes have.
The foyer window. Most Eaglewood homes have a tall window over the front entry or stairwell. A motorized shade solves it permanently, with no ladder needed.
Frequently asked questions
What window coverings suit a renovated traditional home?
Lined Roman shades, real wood blinds and cellular shades all suit traditional homes and add warmth. Choose fabrics and finishes that work with your new floors and paint rather than matching the old décor.
Can you make Roman shades in my designer's fabric?
Often, yes. We review customer-supplied fabric for weight and suitability, and our trade program supports interior designers working in Bedford homes.
Is a motorized shade worth it for one tall window?
For a window you cannot reach without a ladder, yes. It is often the first shade people motorize, and it usually needs no wiring.
