A Return to Her Roots
After more than two decades designing full homes, transforming kitchens and bathrooms, and creating show-stopping interiors, Nicole Lorber of Distinctive Interior Designs is returning to where it all began—custom window treatments. Her new affiliated company, Distinct Blinds & Draperies, focuses exclusively on blinds, shutters, shades, and bespoke drapery solutions.
Here’s why this new chapter makes perfect sense.
1. Blinds & Drapes Superpower
Even as Distinctive Interior Designs grew into a full-service firm handling renovations, furnishings, décor, and project management, one thing always set Nicole apart: her mastery of windows.
From motorized shades to luxury draperies, she’s always had a talent for pairing functionality with beauty. While focused heavily on Interior / Renovation Design in the last 20 years, she has seen the gap of truly skilled resources that can gracefully finish a home with that perfect finishing touch at the window widen. As well, it seems that people (including her long ago Clients) forgot that Blinds/ Window Treatments is where she ‘grew up’ in business.
By opening Distinct Blinds & Draperies she’s aiming to fill that gap with:
-
A deeper range of products
-
More vendor partnerships
-
Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge of window solutions
-
AND…. great pricing on top of all that!!
After thousands of completed projects, Nicole knows that great window treatments change everything—light, comfort, privacy, and the entire feel of a room.
2. Expertise—Not Generic
We see the big picture — every finish, color, and texture.
With today’s overwhelming options and inconsistent big-box-store advice, clients crave a blinds and drapery resource who:
-
Understands fabrics
-
Doesn’t recommend the same 1-2 products on every window
-
Measures accurately
-
Knows installation details
-
And brings creative vision to each window Distinct Blinds & Draperies was born to deliver exactly that. Clients get the confidence of working with Nicole’s seasoned design eye plus the convenience of a streamlined, window-treatment-only experience.
It’s professional, personal, and rooted in decades of hands-on craft. A blind, shutter, drape, Roman shade, or topper should never be an after thought!
With Distinct Blinds & Draperies, Nicole isn’t just expanding—she’s honoring where her passion began. By blending decades of design expertise with the craftsmanship that sparked her career, she’s bringing clients a more personal, more curated, and beautifully tailored window-treatment experience.
The heart of her work has always been in the details, and now with Distinct Blinds & Draperies those finishing touch details will get the spotlight.
