What Are Decorative Grilles?
Decorative grilles are lightweight panels crafted to mimic the look of wrought iron, wood, or laser-cut metal—without the weight or cost. They’re perfect for enhancing windows, sidelights, transoms, niches, archways, and even walls or ceilings. The possibilities are virtually endless.
Design Options with Serious WOW Factor
These aren’t your average accents. With Tableaux Decorative Grilles, you can choose from:
- Ornate or geometric patterns
- Faux wood or iron finishes
- Custom sizing for windows, doors, or wall panels
- Backlit or layered looks with sheer shades or shutters
The result? A statement piece that enhances both form and function—especially when paired with soft or structured window treatments.
Ways to Use Decorative Grilles in Wisconsin Homes
Here in Appleton and the Fox Valley, we’re seeing homeowners use designer grilles in a variety of ways:
1. Above or Within Arched Windows
Highlight the unique architecture of arched or specialty windows with a custom-cut decorative grille layered with or without shades.
2. As Wall or Niche Art
Think beyond the window—use grilles as wall décor in living rooms, entryways, or above fireplaces for a stunning focal point.
3. Layered Behind Sheer Shades or Drapery
Use a grille as the backdrop to sheer shades, creating soft dimension with light filtering through the pattern. The combination is sophisticated and totally custom.
4. Privacy Panels for Open Spaces
Divide spaces or add privacy to a home office or reading nook with a decorative grille mounted within a frame or recessed wall.
