We Love the Automation Feature on the Blinds
We just love our new window coverings. Vanessa and her team are very knowledgeable about the product and interior design. We love the automation feature on the blinds and so appreciative of the time they all spent showing us all the Hub features. Vanessa even followed up with us after install and ensured everything was perfect. Great job. We highly recommend the team at Fresh Design.
