Moran Prairie · Upper South Hill

# Window Treatments for Moran Prairie Homes

Comfort, privacy and one beautiful, consistent look for newer South Hill homes.

## Bright homes on open ground

Moran Prairie is home to many of the upper South Hill's newer neighborhoods, largely built from the 1990s on: open floor plans, bright family rooms, bigger lots and a lighter tree canopy, which means more sun.

On the open prairie, homes see strong summer sun and cold winter wind. The right window treatments make a real difference to comfort and energy use, and they're the finishing touch that makes a newer home feel designed.

## From builder-basic to designed

Layla, our lead designer, grew up in Spokane and has spent more than 20 years in interior design in Seattle, Dubai and San Francisco. In newer homes she focuses on consistency: one look from room to room and from the street, with different light control where each room needs it.

She'll show you how a simple change, like adding drapery in the main room or a woven texture in the kitchen, takes a home from builder-basic to beautifully finished.

## What Works Beautifully in Moran Prairie

### Cellular Shades

The most insulating shade we sell. Top-down/bottom-up versions give privacy at street level and daylight from above.

### Zebra (Layered) Shades

Alternating sheer and solid bands for clean, modern light control in family rooms and offices.

### Solar Shades

Cut heat and glare and protect floors and art from fading, while you still see the view.

### Motorized Shades

Rechargeable battery motors, so no rewiring. One tap, your voice or a schedule. Ideal for tall and hard-to-reach windows.

### Woven Wood Shades

Natural texture that warms a room and complements wood trim, stone and a garden view.

### Blackout for Bedrooms

Blackout shades layered with lined drapery for real darkness and a beautifully finished bedroom.

## Room by Room

### Family rooms

Zebra or top-down/bottom-up cellular shades for daylight with privacy.

### Bedrooms

Blackout cellular shades that match the light-filtering ones elsewhere.

### Kitchens & baths

Easy-clean, moisture-friendly roller or faux wood options.

### Kids' rooms

Cordless and motorized options with no dangling cords.

## Questions from Moran Prairie Homeowners

**Q: What's the most energy-efficient window treatment?**

Cellular (honeycomb) shades. Their air pockets insulate the window, helping in both summer heat and winter cold.

**Q: Can I have blackout in bedrooms and light-filtering elsewhere?**

Yes, and we can match the look so the house stays consistent from outside. See our blackout shades guide.

**Q: How do I get privacy when neighbors are close?**

Top-down/bottom-up cellular shades and zebra shades let in daylight while keeping privacy at street level.

**Q: Are cordless shades safer for kids and pets?**

Yes. Cordless and motorized shades remove dangling cords.

**Q: Do you serve Moran Prairie?**

Yes. We offer free in-home design consultations, measuring and installation across the upper South Hill.
