At Cosmostyle, we believe in the importance of feeling comfortable in your own home – even if your home is a bedroom in a supported living facility. That’s why we have worked closely with aged care facility managers, architects, interior designers and families for over 10 years. In that time, we’ve found window furnishings are often the easiest and most impactful way to personalise a loved-one’s space, we are here to assist you with a wide range of options, fabrics and advice.
Here are 4 suggestions to get your imagination flowing.
- Often aged care facilities decorate their homes in neutral tones, so many of our senior clients chose bold colours or patterns for their window treatments. This really is an easy way to stamp their personality on their room and make it uniquely theirs.
- Families have asked us to draw inspiration from the former family home or family traditions of a loved one as a way to bring comfort to their new environment. This is particularly important for people living with dementia.
- Some supported living centres provide specialist accommodation based on cultural heritage. As part of the final fit-out or refurbishment, we have installed window finishes that reflect this by carefully selecting particular colours or adding features such as awnings etc.
- When choosing window finishes for supported living centers, practical considerations are also important. That’s why we’ll always talk to you about things like:
Geared roller-blinds or motorisation options for easier use
Insulation properties to keep the winter chill out – especially for south facing windows
Window finishes that offer privacy without blocking the light
Or something that offers glare control if the light is too harsh
When it comes to supported care facilities, we know our stuff!
For over 10 years, Cosmostyle has worked with both supported and independent living managers and residents. All of this experience means we understand how to use your window treatments to express your personality in a compact space.
For your security, our staff have current police checks, relevant vaccinations, white cards and are fully insured. We also pride ourselves on our calm and non-disruptive approach when working with residents.
Better still, we are currently offering shorter than usual delivery timeframes. If you would like to know more or to book a consultation with one of our experienced team members, please get in touch.
