Saying goodbye to 2019 is saying goodbye to a decade of design. We witnessed so many changes over the last ten years, but this last year our industry swept us away with new innovations and introductions in flooring, fabrics, and even window coverings! Each makes a grand difference in designing home interiors with high-performance coverings that are specifically geared to life’s little oooops. 2019’s travels took Knight’s design team from Vegas to Nashville to bring the best-of-the-best in quality flooring and window coverings home to you. And, you had your favorites along the way that we are happy to share in our Countdown to 2020 with The Posts You Loved The Most.

The Countdown Continues With #8
Quick-Ship Panels
As designers of custom drapery, this pick was a bit of a surprise! Coming in at an honorable #8 for ‘The Posts You Loved The Most’ is our Quick-Ship Drapery Panel Program. Recently updated with decorative trim choices for lead-edge banding to add to an already amazing fabrics selection, which all can be seen and ordered right in our Showroom. Did we mention that these draperies, while being classified as “Quick Ship” are made by the same workrooms that create our custom draperies?
