The art of choosing window treatments
Find the perfect solution at Indeko Studio, where functionality meets design.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Indeko Curtain & Blind Studio • STORY Elizabeth Clarke
Window treatments can make or break the look of a home. Not only do they veil sunlight and views, provide privacy, help with temperature control and add polish, they can make ceilings look higher, enhance an outlook, and add charm and personality to a space.
"Choosing window dressings is a deeply personal process and, unlike furnishings, are often an afterthought," says Gionn Martino, owner of Indeko Curtain and Blind Studio in Osborne Park.
It takes experience and skill to deliver a solution that ties in seamlessly with a home's design. For Gionn, who runs the family business alongside his sister Julie, getting to know every client is the first step in the journey. "We dive deep into understanding their lifestyles, priorities, needs and wants, and offer an extensive one-on-one design service to ensure they choose just the right style and solution for their homes and needs," he says.
Providing the highest level of service and attention to detail is at the core of this business and is reflected in its deep family values. "We don’t just offer our clients a few stock standard solutions or samples; we take a very personal and holistic approach with a keen focus on the end design," says Gionn. "Connecting with every client is vital; they love the experience of taking this journey with us."
The A-Team
A design consultation in the Indeko Studio showroom allows their highly experienced consultants to understand your needs and explore every available option. "We pore over your plans and designs to determine the right style for you, whether you live in a new build, character house or apartment," Gionn says.
Indeko Studio's consultants come from the world of design, textiles and construction, allowing them to advise on all aspects of style, sustainability, and installation. "Our team's knowledge is second to none; they are the key component of our business," says Gionn. "Our administration team manage the manufacturing process, and our team of professionally trained trade installers ensure a smooth process from beginning to end.”
Customised Solutions
Indeko Studio represents the world's most established, cutting-edge brands, including Luxaflex and Verosol, and supplies everything your home requires, from beautiful sheer curtains, interior soft shades, custom handmade Roman blinds and shutters to outdoor awnings.
"We house one of the broadest ranges of European fabrics so that we can offer the latest trends in window fashion," Gionn says. "We have a strong relationship with fabric houses globally who give us the first look at new releases. Most importantly, our extensive range allows us to design a solution that custom-suits the client."
Technology has become a large part of our lives and when it comes to window treatments, it’s even more important to stay ahead of these advancements. “Automation is a huge part of what we do,” says Gionn. “It’s a rapidly growing area, with more than 60 percent of people wanting automation in their homes. Automation is our focus, not just for convenience but because research shows that automation increases the energy efficiency and durability of products. It makes economic sense to continue developing and delivering this for our clients.”
Sustainability
"The belief that sustainable living is becoming increasingly important has passed; sustainable living is now, and it starts in our homes," says Gionn. "Our product ranges offer energy efficiency, insulation benefits, and light and solar control, and with energy costs increasing, we need to work closely with our clients to provide the best solutions to reduce these costs."
Indeko Studio's suppliers are world leaders in ethically conscious environmental practices, ensuring every product that leaves the showroom is of the highest quality, and standard is critical.
"As a family business, it's hugely important to us to deliver products that are sensitive to the environment and safe in our clients' homes," says Gionn. "Each product must pass strict testing, and we're proud to offer Greenguard Gold and Oeko-Tex certified products. Our suppliers are actively recycling waste materials and water and using solar-powered manufacturing, and we are committed to expanding our range of fabrics manufactured from recycled materials."
Whether building, renovating or updating your home, Indeko Studio can ensure your investment is worthwhile. "We want to understand our clients, and that's our investment in them, and being a family business allows us to connect," says Gionn. "It's what makes Indeko Studio unique."
