Having grown up in Boulder, Bruce has a deep appreciation for the aesthetic and functional needs of local living spaces.\nThe Creative Edge\nBefore transitioning into the world of custom window coverings, Bruce spent a &quot;previous life&quot; as a graphic artist. This background gives him an elite eye for:\n* Color Theory: Selecting the perfect hues to complement your existing palette.\n* Spatial Composition: Ensuring your window treatments enhance the specific architecture of your room.\n* Visual Balance: Mastering the scale of patterns and textures to create a cohesive, polished look.\nBeyond the Design Gallery\nWhen he isn&#039;t helping clients transform their homes, Bruce is likely exploring the globe. As an avid international traveler, he draws inspiration from the diverse architecture and textiles he encounters across different cultures.\nBack home, he keeps things classic. If you want to see him truly light up, just point him toward the best steakhouse in town\u2014nothing beats a perfectly cooked ribeye in his book.\n&quot;Your windows are the canvas of your home.
