LENOX, Mass., May 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shade Store
fosters the visions of extraordinary designers at The Kaleidoscope
Project Designer Showhouse – a celebration of diversity and
inclusion within the creative interior design industry. Joining The
Kaleidoscope Project's introductory showhouse as the exclusive
window treatment partner, The Shade Store collaborated with 22
designers to bring their design concepts to life through
handcrafted custom window treatments as they reimagine the historic
Cornell Inn in Lenox,
Massachusetts.
The Showhouse features window treatments inspired by three
central design themes and color schemes – Restful (Neutrals),
Reflection (Cools) & Rejuvenate (Warms) – to create a cohesive
look and feel throughout the rooms as these designs will live
beyond the exhibition period for future guests to enjoy during
their stay at the Cornell Inn. The Shade Store worked with each
designer to execute their visions across a wide range of window
treatment styles with intricate details and premium fabrics curated
for each of these color stories. The renovated Inn includes Roman
Shades, Roller Shades, Woven Wood Shades, and Drapery in materials
from The Shade Store's in-stock collection of 1,300+ styles as well
as designer-supplied C.O.M. fabrics.
"We are delighted to join The Kaleidoscope Project in the
transformation of the historic Cornell Inn and celebration of the
diverse talent within the creative design industry," says
Ian Gibbs, Co-Founder and Chief
Creative Officer of The Shade Store. "Showhouses continue to play
an integral role in how we connect with designers and share our
work on a large platform and we're proud to support this important
mission. This is such a great and talented group of designers and
we're excited to share their impressive work that will live at the
Cornell Inn in perpetuity."
