Testimonials

“Our family owned centennial farm in Charlevoix County has been used by my parents and siblings since the mid-60’s.  Even though remodeled, the bedroom window coverings in particular were showing signs of wear.  A neighbor recommended contacting Trend, the result of a good experience several years before.  Design consultant Kay Johnston made the hour-and-a-half trip to measure the windows and discuss treatment options with us.   Within a short period of time our new coverings were fabricated and professionally installed.   The service and product were first class.  Bottom line:  our entire family is enjoying the new appearance of our bedrooms.  And like our neighbor, we’re now recommending Trend Window & Design. – DLS, Lake Charlevoix/Charlevoix County, MI

“Trend Window & Design is a terrific decorating source in Northwest Michigan.  From their store in nearby Traverse City, they were able to supply our Suttons Bay cottage with it all — from window treatments to furnishing and accent pieces.  The quality is excellent and the selection vast.  Add a sales staff that excels in customer service and you have a winning combination.  We recommend them 100%!  – R&FG, Suttons Bay/Leelanau County, MI

Along with secret morel hunting patches and secluded deep river holes for steelhead, one of the North’s sweet spots resides along Bay Street at the foot of Traverse City’s West Grand Traverse Bay.

Sid Lammers, owner of Northern Michigan’s oldest and largest window treatment dealer, evinces a flair for words when describing the Trend Window & Design firm he founded in 1980. “We like to tell clients that although they might not recognize our name, there are few places they can go in Northern Michigan that don’t reflect our work.”

From highly visible commercial projects like Munson Medical Center, Turtle Creek Casino, the Homestead, Mercy Hospital/Grayling, Crystal Mountain and Mackinac Island enterprises, to residences of all sizes and configurations along the state’s Tip O’the Mitt and interior, the Trend Window brand of distinctive treatments covers the North.

As the only prestigious HunterDouglas Gallery designated dealer north of Grand Rapids, Sid and sales/décor staffer Kay Johnston, have 55 years vested in the window treatment business. They’re joined by a graduate interior designer, support staff, and two fulltime HunterDouglas certified installers. “We offer full service, design, installation and repair of virtually anything for windows,” notes Sid.

Collaborating with many of the North’s leading residential and commercial building contractors, the firm’s strengths are personal sales and service, and a word-of-mouth reputation over the upper mitt of the Lower Peninsula: Traverse City west to Manistee and north to the Straits of Mackinac.
