We are finding more and more clients are requesting motorization for their window coverings.  Roller Shades are the most cost effective way to motorization with a broad selection of fabric choices and valance styles.   A decorative wood valance, painted or stained will fit in a more traditional environment while a cassette valance has a more eclectic or modern look. 
 
Roller/Solar Shades are energy efficient.  If you have an area of your home that is "too warm" or "too cold", roller shades can significantly lower your electric bill.
