Do you have all the pieces in place for a successful design or window treatment business, or are you relying on talent and hustle alone? In this keynote, Christa O’Leary, Founder of Home in Harmony Designs, takes attendees behind the curtain to reveal why window treatments are one of the most powerful (and often under-leveraged) drivers of revenue, client satisfaction, and design impact. Using her signature Designer’s Toolbox™ approach, Christa shows how the most successful businesses create consistent results by designing with multiple lenses - not only aesthetics, but the psychological, physiological, and emotional impact of a space. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for how to elevate window treatments from a “final detail” to a profit center, strengthen their process, and create a client experience that feels effortless, premium, and referral-worthy.?: 11:30 AMWhy be part of the WCAA?

We’ll look at inspired applications across drapery, shades, and valances, showing how braid, fringe, tassels, borders, and gimp can frame a silhouette, define edges, create transitions, and carry color and pattern through a room. Along the way, we’ll examine the attributes that make trim uniquely impactful: dimensionality, constructions, patterns, color and craftsmanship. The goal is to build trim literacy and spark new ideas for using passementerie with intention, whether the effect is quiet restraint or a clear focal point. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/the-business-impact-of-window-treatments-in-your-design-process/100001981427734693 - **Event Categories**: art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Boston Design Center - **lat**: 42.3441918 - **long**: -71.0336324 - **full address**: Boston Design Center, 1 Design Center Place, Boston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Business Impact of Window Treatments in Your Design Process - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/ed95d0ba0a824ea42ce3e813d5279b4151a0edb2b6fdb9d639a6fc7fae6c46a7-rimg-w500-h500-dc000000-gmir.png?v=1771005760 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Business Impact of Window Treatments in Your Design Process being held? - **A:** The Business Impact of Window Treatments in Your Design Process takes place on Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am to Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Boston Design Center, 1 Design Center Place, Boston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Business Impact of Window Treatments in Your Design Process? - **A:** The Business Impact of Window Treatments in Your Design Process is organized by WCAA - MA Chapter. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
