Design Notes
Windows allow us to enjoy the beauty of nature, feel the warmth of the sun, and watch the children play outside. While these delicate pieces of glass can hold their own in terms of beauty, we love using window treatments to add that extra amount of charm and personality to the room and provide a little relief from the bright afternoon sun. We are a proud, authorized dealer for Graber window treatments, a company dedicated to the details, a few of which we wanted to share.
Protection
When upgrading any part of your home, safety should always be a top priority—especially when it comes to features that impact children and pets. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, window cords are among the top five hidden hazards in American homes, posing serious risks of injury or even strangulation.
At Greenbrook Design, we’re proud to offer Graber window treatments, a brand that places safety at the forefront of its product design. Graber offers a variety of solutions to help protect your loved ones while maintaining style and functionality in your home:
-
Cordless and motorized lift systems that eliminate traditional cords, offering the highest level of safety for households with children and pets.
-
Tension pulleys and tie-down devices that keep continuous-loop cords securely taut and out of reach.
-
Cord stops on horizontal blinds that prevent internal cords from slipping through the louvers.
In alignment with recommendations from the Window Covering Safety Council, we strongly encourage the use of cordless or inaccessible cord systems in homes with young children.
Safety shouldn’t mean compromising on style—and with Graber, it doesn’t have to. Let us help you choose window treatments that offer peace of mind without sacrificing beauty.
Remote Control
If you’re tired of being blinded by shifting sunlight during your morning coffee, Graber’s motorized blinds offer the perfect solution. With just the touch of a button—or a simple voice command—you can adjust your window treatments without ever leaving your seat. Convenience and comfort have never been so seamless.
Graber offers a range of smart, user-friendly motorization features, including:
-
Rechargeable motors that eliminate the need for hardwiring or frequent battery changes
-
Multi-channel remotes that allow you to control multiple shades at once for efficient operation
-
Smart home integration with Alexa, Google Home, or your preferred smartphone app, enabling voice-activated adjustments and automation
In addition to convenience, Graber’s cellular shades offer an energy-efficient design by trapping heat within their layered honeycomb structure, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy bills.
With Graber, you’ll enjoy a home that’s more comfortable, energy-efficient, and perfectly lit—no more getting up and down to chase the perfect angle.
Reflection
Window treatments not only provide shade and privacy, but they also allow the homeowner to show their personality. No person is the same, and neither should their window treatments. They are meant to be a reflection of you and your style. Whether you prefer a more contemporary or traditional style, solar or soft roman shades, wood or pleated, Graber’s vast array of colors, options, and designs will surely suit anyone’s taste.

We would love to help you add the finishing touches to that space where nature and home meet.
