About Layered Window Treatments
Shades, drapery and toppers working together
Layering means pairing treatments: for example, a light-filtering shade for daytime privacy, drapery for softness and evening privacy and a cornice to finish. Each layer does a job, and together they give you flexibility.
We plan the combination, fabrics and hardware together so layers fit with room to move. A layered window can adapt from bright morning to dark night.

How It Works
What Goes Into Layered Window Treatments

Before and After
See the Difference
Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.


Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical homes, rooms and windows, not completed Music City Blinds projects. Every window is measured and confirmed with a visit before treatments are made, and fabrics, colors and options depend on the manufacturer. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
Is layering too much?
It can be as simple as a shade and a pair of panels. We tailor it to your room.
Can layers be motorized?
Yes. Motors can raise shades and even traverse drapery.
Where does layering work best?
Large windows, living rooms and primary suites benefit most.
