The brief

Contemporary and laid back

1color, whole house

2opacities

1tall stair window

A contemporary family house in one of Austin’s newer neighborhoods: open kitchen and living room, a double-height stair, bedrooms on the quiet side.

The owners wanted the window treatments to be one decision, not ten. Light-filtering roller shades in Limestone across the common areas keep the rooms bright and the view soft. The primary bedroom gets the same color in blackout.

The nursery gets a white blackout shade for naps. From the hallway every window in the house reads the same: one clean roll, one quiet color.

The details

One color, two jobs

Common areas: Light-filtering roller shades in Limestone: kitchen, living room, stair.
Primary bedroom: Blackout roller shades in Limestone, so the color matches the rest of the house.
Nursery: White blackout roller shade. Dark for naps.
Stair: A single tall shade on the double-height window, closed for afternoon sun.
Who did what: Rolli: consult, samples, measure, made to measure, installation.

“When one color runs through a whole house, the shades stop being a decision in every room and start being part of the architecture.”Rolli design team
