Custom Window Treatments Come in Nearly Limitless Fabrics and Designs
When you walk into a home, what’s the first thing that catches your eye? For some, it’s the furnishings and fine art. For others, it’s the flooring and the architectural design. But, for everyone, it's the lighting—the sunlight filtering through the windows and the light that illuminates a home. After all, without light, all the other beautiful elements would be indistinguishable.
At Phoenix Audio Video, we specialize in creating beautiful spaces that enhance our clients' everyday lives while making them easy to manage under one-touch control. To accomplish this, we partner with industry leaders that remain on the cutting edge of the latest technology. In lighting and custom window treatments, those brands are Lutron and Hartmann & Forbes.
