Window Coverings, Elevated: How One Decorah Designer is Transforming Homes with Style and Function

Branded Content, Decorah, IA — As more homeowners prioritize both style and smart living, one local design studio is helping clients see their spaces in a whole new light—literally. At Interior Design by Emily, window coverings are more than just a finishing touch. They're an essential design element, providing privacy, light control, insulation, and—perhaps most importantly—an opportunity to bring personality and polish to any room. "Window coverings are often underestimated," said Emily, owner of the downtown Decorah design firm, "but the right treatment can completely change how a space feels and functions." Located at 215 W Water Street, Interior Design by Emily has become a trusted destination for both custom window solutions and full-service interior design. As a Hunter Douglas dealer, the studio offers a wide selection of premium window treatments, including cordless and motorized options, energy-efficient cellular shades, and elegant layered drapery. "Clients come in for design help, but window coverings often end up being the solution they didn't know they needed," Emily explained. "Whether it's reducing glare in a home office, keeping a bedroom cooler in summer, or simply framing a beautiful view—we remedy those everyday challenges with beautiful solutions." In a time when safety and sustainability matter more than ever, the studio also focuses on child-safe cordless styles, automation compatibility, and eco-friendly fabrics. Visitors to the showroom can see full-size displays, browse fabric books, and work directly with Emily to create a window covering plan that fits their style, budget, and lifestyle. "Our goal is to make the process easy, enjoyable, and tailored to each client," Emily says. "No two windows—or homes—are alike, and that's the beauty of custom design."
