Explore Inspiring Design Ideas and Expert Tips for a Truly Tailored Experience
We know window treatments can seem like a big task to tackle. When working with Everhem we strive to support you in every step of the way. We've noticed these few questions pop up frequently, so we asked our team of window treatment experts to bring you an answer that will help make designing your dream window treatments a breeze!
1. What is the difference between Inside and Outside Mount Shades?
Inside Mount is when the Shade is installed directly into the window casement. Outside Mount Shades are installed on the wall above the window or perhaps the face of the window's trim.
2. What are the benefits of adding a valance?
A valance is present when the shades operation is in the front rather than the back of the shade. We recommend this when you are looking for maximum blackout as the shade will sit flush with the window and won’t project.
3. What are the best products and combinations for optimal darkness?
If your priority is optimal darkness, we recommend Blackout Lining or to pair Blackout Roman Shades or Woven Woods (your choice!) with Blackout Drapery.
4. What are "stacks"?
Stacks are essentially where your Drapery will live when fully opened. We recommend 10-12” stacks of wall space per side for your Drapery so that they don’t interfere with the door or window when they are opened.
5. What are the benefits of mounting Drapery high?
Mounting your Drapery high will elongate any room and essentially open the space up. We recommend at least 12” of mounting space above your Drapery.

Nicki added natural elements to her kitchen with Woven Woods in Khaki. We're obsessed with the warm morning light that shines through them. To top it off, she went with our motorization control.
Khaki was the perfect choice to enhance the warm browns of the existing wood details in her space!
Nicki decided to make laundry days a little more fun with a floral wallpaper from Hygge & West and our Woven Woods in Seashell to accent it!
In addition to her Woven Woods, Nicki added Motorized Roman Shades to her living room. These shades add a softness and an element of comfortability and coziness to the space.

As summer approaches, keeping our homes cool becomes a top priority. While air conditioning can provide relief, it can also cause high energy bills and put a strain on the environment. Fortunately, there is a more sustainable and cost-effective solution: Everhem window treatments. Effectively help block out the heat and create a refreshing oasis within your home.
Blackout Lined Drapery can be a big help this Summer. It can act as a barrier against the sunlight and help prevent any extra heat seeping through. Draw your Drapery closed during the day to help reduce electricity bills and keep your living space nice and cool.
Believe it or not, the fabric you choose can also play a part in heat absorption. Consider light colored fabrics like Sand from our Essentials collection to be both aesthetically pleasing and energy-efficient.
While blocking out the sun's heat is important, allowing fresh air to circulate through your home is equally essential. Consider window treatments with Top Down Bottom Up control to allow natural ventilation while still providing some shade.
Sheer curtains are also great a option, as they provide privacy without obstructing airflow and natural sunlight.
With the Summer heat bearing down, implementing the right window treatments can significantly help in keeping your home cool and comfortable. Stay cool and enjoy the season with the help of Everhem!
The easiest way to add a little charm to your home is with Everhem Cafe Curtains! They're perfect for your breakfast nook, kitchen window or any little corner in your home that could use a cozy element. Choose between our three sheer options: Moon, Bone and Pebble.
With timeless elegance and functional design, cafe curtain window treatments have become a popular choice among designers. Let's explore why you should consider embracing these lovely window treatments in your own home.
Classic Charm: Inspired by the quaint cafes of Paris, these curtains allow natural light to flood in while still offering functionality. The simplicity and delicate design of cafe curtains create an ambiance that is both cozy and inviting.
The Perfect Balance: Cafe curtains strike an ideal balance between privacy and natural light. By covering only the lower portion of the window, they allow ample sunlight to enter the room while still providing privacy. This feature makes cafe curtains an excellent choice for areas such as kitchens, dining rooms, and living spaces where you want to maintain privacy without sacrificing the bright and airy feel that natural light brings.
Easy Maintenance: Another advantage of Cafe Curtains is their ease of maintenance. Unlike full-length drapes or blinds, Cafe Curtains are typically shorter in length, making them less prone to dust and dirt accumulation. They are generally lightweight and easy to remove for washing or replacement. This convenience ensures that your window treatments stay fresh and well-maintained with minimal effort.

Cameron Rogers is sharing a peek of all the Everhem in her home! Cameron focused on creating consistency within her space with Everhem fitting seamlessly within her beautiful, minimalist design.
Cameron fell in love with Pebble from the Essentials collection and decided to have it throughout her main space to add to her open floor plan and overall interior design.
"We chose to keep our window treatments within the general design goal of our house, which is on the more minimalist side, and try to remain somewhat consistent throughout all of the rooms."
-Cameron Rogers
For the bedroom and nursery, Cameron went with a Motorized Roman Shades in Blackout Bone. Adding the luxury of motorization was a special touch to each room but also provided a layer of safety in the nursery without a cord or chain for her baby to play with.
Bone effortlessly went with each room's color scheme and enhanced the overall space.
"What I love most about our Everhem window treatments is their functionality and the way that they appear simple at an eye's glance, yet they have massively upgraded our space."
-Cameron Rogers
"I went with Everhem because I really wanted custom window treatments that felt like an extension of our home and I loved the fabric options that Everhem offered. Specifically, I loved that it was a small company and owned by a husband and wife."
-Cameron Rogers
Sticking with her neutral theme, Cameron added a Roman Shade in our Birch as the finishing touch to her office! Birch is the perfect neutral with earthy tones and a deeper palette.
"Working with Everhem was incredible! Amazing customer service and an A+ product."
-Cameron Rogers
Cameron is a content creator, podcast host and incredible mama who enjoys sharing her journey through motherhood and reminding her community the importance of mental health. She's expecting her second baby in the fall and can't wait to complete her dream home! We love the way she incorporated Everhem and how it brought each space together.
Welcome to An Inside Look of Anastasia Casey's gorgeous Texas home. We worked with Anastasia to help elevate her windows and add to her charming and aspirational style inspired by both an English cottage and a Texas ranch.
Anastasia leaned into the existing Tudor elements when designing her space. She was heavily inspired by the existing home, so it was important to her to maintain the character while adding her personal touch and charm. She shared with us, "I’m incredibly drawn to English interiors right now for their use of color, texture, and pattern."
To Anastasia, there are two key components that makes a home special. One, having conversation pieces that evoke a story. "I want anyone who comes into one of my spaces to immediately ask me where I got something, not in a superficial way, but in a storied and collected way." And two, Making sure every space has elements to harness and control light. "Whether you want a space to be incredibly bright and light filled, or softer and moodier with specific moments of shadow and contrast, lighting (both natural and artificial) is the key to a memorable space."
As we learned, Anastasia values light in her space. Our Sheers in Pebble made for the perfect match in her living room. "Harnessing and capturing light is really important to me in every space. I was drawn to the privacy that Everhem sheers allotted us. Not only did it shield us from the street out front, it filters the hot Texas sun."
"I can’t deny that I absolutely shed tears when we hung the window treatments. The way the drapery transformed the room felt like everything finally came together."
-Anastasia Casey
Anastasia's kitchen features our new Cafe Curtains that allowed her to continue having beautiful filtered light and privacy throughout her home.
For the rest of her house, Anastasia went with our Privacy Lined Roman Shades. "They look so polished, while truly finishing off the room."
When asked about working with Everhem, Anastasia's praise is easily reciprocated as she was such a delight to work with. Anastasia shares, "The way a company treats its people and its customers is the highest priority when I shop - especially for top tier investments. The Everhem experience was uncanny. The ease of their online ordering process took so much stress out of ordering custom drapery. Simple, clear illustrations made it easy for me to follow along and I really appreciated that I could add some window treatments, save, and come back again when I had designed the next room. The curtains arrived beautifully packaged, tied neatly and securely in their boxes to maintain the pleats and make it easy to train my drapes once I had hung them."
-Anastasia Casey
Anastasia discovered Everhem on Instagram about 3 years ago! "I was so drawn to their female founder, Haley and her story, coming from a background of interior design, called to fill a need in the industry. The ethical business practices start to finish was really important to me. I’ve now used Everhem in multiple projects - from my office to my personal home."
"Working with female owned businesses matters. As designers, we have the power to decide what type of products go into our clients homes and our own homes. Investing in fellow female business owners transforms the industry and paves the way for our future generations. No one will stand by their product more fully than Haley and the Everhem team."
-Anastasia Casey
Anastasia is looking forward to sharing her recent collaborations with the design community! Be on the lookout for her collection of bespoke cabinetry with Unique Kitchens & Baths and a wallpaper collection with Chasing Paper. To celebrate these incredible accomplishments and partnerships, she'll be opening her first showroom later this year, which we cannot wait to visit!
Thank you for joining our Inside Look of the lovely Anastasia Casey's inspiring home. We're so thrilled to be a part of her gorgeous design. See you next time!

At Everhem, we provide useful tools you have access to directly on our website. Be sure to download any measuring or installation guides to help you throughout the Everhem process. If you still need assistance, reach out to us and one of our window treatment experts will be in touch with you!
When your Everhem Cafe Curtains arrive, use our detailed guides as a tool that will help ensure a smooth installation! Keep reading to familiarize yourself with the steps it takes to get beautiful results.
Step One: Find center bracket mounting position.
Locate the mounting height listed on your Everhem packing slip, then find the horizontal center of the total rod width listed on your Everhem packing slip. Tape a piece of paper up in this general area to avoid marking up the window trim. Next, mark the paper at the exact spot where the center bracket will be mounted. From that spot, mark the paper with perpendicular lines, making sure both lines are long enough to intersect with one another.
Step Two: Mark the bracket screw holes.
With the bracket against the paper, align the top of the bracket with the horizontal line and the center of the bracket with the vertical line. Make sure it is level, then mark the screw holes with a pencil.
Step Three: Drill the marked screw holes.
Using your power drill and the 7/64” drill bit, drill into the marked holes from Step 2.
Important note: Read our Inside or Outside Mount guide to help you determine how you should properly drill into your mounting area!
Step Four: Secure the bracket.
Line the bracket up with the pre-drilled holes. Use the provided mounting screws, your power drill and your phillips head drill bit to secure the bracket into place halfway. Remove the piece of paper from behind then tighten the screws fully to secure the bracket.
Step Five: Find end brackets’ mounting position.
Locate the mounting height listed on your Everhem packing slip; then, along that height, find the center of the flat mounting depth on your window. Tape a piece of paper up in this general area to avoid marking up the wall. Next, mark the paper at the exact spot where the end bracket will be mounted. From that spot, mark the paper with perpendicular lines, making sure both lines are long enough to intersect with one another. Repeat this process on the other side of your window.
Step Six: Mark brackets’ screw holes.
With the bracket against the wall, align the top of the bracket with the horizontal line and the center of the bracket with the vertical line. Make sure it is level, then mark the screw hole with a pencil. Repeat this process for the second bracket on the other side of the window.
Step Seven: Drill the marked screw holes.
Using your power drill and the 7/64” drill bit, drill into the marked holes from Step 2.
Step Eight: Secure the bracket.
Line one bracket up with the pre-drilled hole. Use the provided mounting screws, your power drill and your 1⁄4” hex socket drill bit to secure the bracket into place halfway. Remove the piece of paper from behind then tighten the screws fully to secure the bracket. Repeat this process to secure the second bracket, making sure it is level with the first.
Important note: Make sure you're referring to the guide based on what type of mount you have to stay on track! If you have Inside Mount click here, if you have Outside Mount click here!
Step Nine: Place rings onto the rod.
We usually provide a few extra rings, so start by counting the hooks on your drapery panels first. Place as many rings on the rod as the hooks on your drapery panels.
Important note: For steps 9-10 please refer to the guide based on the type of mount you have
Step Ten: Secure the rod.
Find the closed socket and insert the rod with the rings into the closed socket. Then, find the open socket and rest the rod with the rings onto the open socket.
Step Eleven: Hang your curtain(s).
From the furthest left ring, place the furthest left hook of your curtain panel through the eyelet of the ring until the panel is fully secured. Repeat for additional panel(s).
Once you completed the steps of the guides and double checked your work, feel free to snap a picture and send it our way! We'd love to see your new Everhem Cafe Curtains.
