Solving Window Treatment Challenges — and Simplifying Your Projects
After meeting so many talented designers at the To The Trade Holiday Vendor Show, one message came through loud and clear:
Designers are overwhelmed by coordination, and
They’re frustrated by unreliable installation partners.
If that feels familiar, you’re not alone. Window treatments are one of the most detail-heavy, timeline-sensitive parts of a project. They require coordination between design, measurement, sourcing, fabrication, delivery, installation, and client management — all while protecting your profit and reputation.
These are exactly the problems RMD Luxury Window Treatments has solved.
Below, we break down the two biggest challenges designers shared with us — and how RMD, along with our Simply Managed cohort, eliminates these pain points and supports your business at every level.
Problem #1: Designers Don’t Want to Coordinate a Thousand Moving Parts
Designers told us they’re drowning in coordination:
tracking measurements
ordering and receiving fabric + hardware
communicating with multiple vendors
troubleshooting workroom issues
chasing timelines
managing installation schedules
handling client expectations
fixing mistakes they didn’t create
Window treatments should enhance your design — not devour your bandwidth.
How RMD Solves It
RMD handles everything from first measure to final install. Our all-in-one workflow includes:
✔ final measurements
✔ material + hardware order management (or COM/retail)
✔ custom workroom fabrication
✔ proactive production updates
✔ white-glove installation
✔ post-installation service and follow-up
Designers get one partner, one system, and one accountable team.
You stay focused on the creative work.
We ensure flawless execution.
Problem #2: Designers Struggle to Find Reliable Installation Partners
A beautifully designed window treatment can be completely undermined by poor installation.
We heard:
“My installers aren’t consistent.”
“I need someone I can trust in my client’s home.”
“I don’t want callbacks or redos.”
“I want a team that understands design, not just tools.”
How RMD Solves It
Our installation team follows a luxury-level, documented process:
✔ booties, blankets, and full-home protection
✔ detailed installation plans
✔ expertise with drapery, shades, shutters, and motorization
✔ on-site QA checks
✔ client walkthrough + education
✔ service follow-up
In short: you get confidence, consistency, and craftsmanship.
**But What About the Rest of the Project?
That’s Where the Simply Managed Cohort Comes In.**
While RMD eliminates the operational stress around window treatments, many designers shared something else they were craving:
Better systems for managing their full project workflow — from onboarding and communication to scope control, timelines, and client expectations.
That’s exactly what our Simply Managed cohort was designed for.
