I love my cellular shades. I have 5 windows that have the day/night option then the rest are light filtering. They claim energy efficiency.anotherbargainhunter wrote: ↑ so what kind of window treatments that are popular nowadays? Style, function, and reliability are what I am looking for.

It goes very well with my modern-ish home and minimalist style. I have a combination of Bali and Levolor. ~13 blinds total (above is the breakdown) and I've probably spent about $~3000k.

+1. Have had naked windows for about 5 years now with blinds as needed functionally (usually rolled up, but strategically deployed in bright sun or nighttime). No dusting, brighter home.

Sorry I made a typo. I got quoted for $12k all in by Home Depot for 21 windows. Vinyl california shutters with 25 years warranty. Is this a good deal?anotherbargainhunter wrote: ↑ What do you guys think if only first floor has california shutters and the second floor has shades? Is it weird that the first and second floor windows have different window coverings?
Also, where is the best place to get California shutters? Home depot is good? They offer 25 years warranty and i was quoted for $12k all in for about 19 windows

I would shop around some more, 12K from HD is overpriced. Check out www.pcshutters.ca that bubuski mentioned above.anotherbargainhunter wrote: ↑ What do you guys think if only first floor has california shutters and the second floor has shades?

I haven't heard of them, but doesn't hurt to get a free quote from them too.anotherbargainhunter wrote: ↑ I will. How about Californiashutterstoronto.com? I am planning to get few more quotes.

Now that you have a starting point you should shop around and compare apples to apples. I got a quote from HD but did not like the look of the vinyl or the frame. Ended getting real wood from an online source for less than the HD quote I had.anotherbargainhunter wrote: ↑ Sorry I made a typo. I got quoted for $12k all in by Home Depot for 21 windows.

My home is a corner townhouse and all the windows in the whole house are front windows (street view). That is why I am wondering if it is going to look awkward or bad if we just do white california shutters on the ground floor and leave the top floor windows with dark shades. I cant't really find pictures on google that have similar or same set upwestcoastyvr wrote: ↑ Now that you have a starting point you should shop around and compare apples to apples.

Doing a whole home in shutters is a personal choice. I ended up doing just the front windows (street view) in shutters and everything else with black-out cellular which allowed me to incorporate coloured window treatments in feature rooms. This approach was also easier on the pocket book.
