Window Treatments in Basalt

Tall glass and motorized shades

Many homes in Aspen and Snowmass have large windows, high windows and window walls that are hard to reach by hand. Lutron makes automated window treatments, and it is worth asking the Basalt store what Lutron options fit your windows and whatever lighting controls the house already has.

Describe each window: how tall, how wide, which way it faces, and whether it is within reach. That decides what makes sense.

Vacation homes

If you are away for weeks at a time, ask whether shades can be set to open and close on a schedule or from your phone, so sun does not bake the interior while the house is empty. Ask what the control setup would involve before you buy.

Short-term rentals near Aspen

Guests want privacy and a dark bedroom the morning after a ski day, and rentals need fabrics that wipe clean and hold up to heavy use. Cordless styles also avoid tangled cords. Ask the store which Hunter Douglas products suit a rental.

Pairing shades with paint and flooring

If you are repainting or replacing floors at the same time, choose window treatments with the new colors in hand. The Basalt store also sells Benjamin Moore paint and Shaw flooring, so you can compare samples against fabric swatches in one stop instead of three. For a larger project, ask whether your designer or builder wants to be on the call.

Sun at altitude

Strong sun at altitude can fade fabrics, art, furniture and wood floors. That is general guidance, not a guarantee for any product. Ask about fabric options that cut glare and UV while keeping the view. Bring photos of the view and the room so the store can talk through how open or private you want each window to feel.

Call the Basalt store or stop in at 133 Park Ave to schedule a measure or estimate, or book a window treatment consultation on our website.
