When this family relocated from Florida to a new home in BackCountry, they needed whole home window treatments to turn an empty house into a finished, livable space — motorized roller shades, a motorized Roman, and custom drapery, all specified room by roo
A Fresh Start Deserves a Finished Home
Relocating from Florida to Highlands Ranch meant more than just a change in scenery. The natural light feels different, the seasons are more pronounced, and the way a home functions day-to-day shifts with it.
When this family moved into their new home, the windows were still bare. The space felt unfinished—bright during the day, exposed at night, and missing the warmth and personality they were used to. They wanted a cohesive look throughout the home, along with better light control and privacy that matched Colorado living.
What We Did for the Project
To create a seamless, comfortable environment, we designed and installed a full-home solution using a mix of motorized roller shades, Roman shades, and custom drapery from trusted brands like Norman and Graber.
Here’s how each element came together:
- Motorized Roller Shades
- Clean, modern look that works beautifully with large Colorado windows
- Effortless light control with the touch of a button
- Ideal for maintaining views while reducing glare and UV exposure
- Roman Shades
- Added softness and texture to key living spaces and bedrooms
- Balanced natural light with a more tailored, elevated appearance
- Perfect for creating a cozy, finished feel
- Custom Drapery
- Framed windows and tied the entire design together
- Enhanced insulation during colder months
- Brought in warmth, depth, and a sense of completeness
By combining these solutions across more than 20 windows, we ensured every room felt intentional and aligned with the family’s vision.
The Result: Comfort, Control, and a True Sense of Home
The transformation was immediate. What once felt like an empty shell quickly became a warm, functional, and inviting home.
In Highlands Ranch, where sunny days, strong afternoon light, and cooler evenings are part of everyday life, these window treatments make a noticeable difference. The motorized shades allow for easy adjustments throughout the day, helping manage brightness without sacrificing the views Colorado is known for. At the same time, the added layers from Roman shades and drapery improve insulation, keeping interiors more comfortable year-round.
Beyond comfort, the home now feels complete. Every window contributes to the overall design, adding value not just aesthetically, but in how the home lives and feels every day.
Project Gallery: A Layered Look That Feels Like Home
Take a closer look at how roller shades, Roman shades, and drapery come together to create a polished, lived-in space—one that’s not only beautiful but also pet-friendly. With cordless, motorized options and thoughtfully layered designs, the home stays safe, comfortable, and easy to enjoy for every member of the family… including the happy little pups who now have the perfect sunlit spots to relax.
From clean-lined modern areas to softer, more relaxed rooms, this project shows how layering window treatments can bring both function and personality into a home. Whether you’re building, remodeling, or settling into a new space, the right combination can completely change how your home looks and feels.

What does a whole home window treatment project involve?
It means outfitting every room to a coherent plan rather than buying treatments piecemeal. For this BackCountry home, that meant motorized roller shades in the great room, primary bedroom, office, and across all the sliding doors; a motorized Roman shade in the entryway; and custom drapery layered into the office, great room, and dining room. Planning it as one project keeps fabrics, finishes, and control systems consistent from room to room, so the whole house feels intentional instead of assembled over time.
Why choose motorized shades for a new-construction or relocation home?
When you’re furnishing a home from scratch, motorization is the easiest upgrade to build in from day one — the wiring and planning are simplest before you’ve settled in. For this family relocating from Florida, motorized roller shades across the great room, primary, office, and every slider meant whole rooms of shades adjust at the touch of a button or on a schedule, which is far more practical than manually working large or hard-to-reach windows every day.
Can you mix roller shades, Roman shades, and drapery in the same home?
Yes, and layering different treatment types is often what makes a whole-home project feel custom rather than uniform. In this BackCountry home, functional motorized roller shades handle everyday light control, a motorized Roman adds a softer look at the entryway, and drapery brings warmth and finish to the main living and dining spaces. The key is planning them together so materials and colors coordinate across every room.
