With the Emmy awards coming up, I\u2019m wistful of the classy television shows this year that have managed to take set design to new levels, challenging movies, even, in cinematography.

Although it took us half of the series to literally answer this question, we are now on the eternal quest to metaphysically complete the answer. When chillingly pensive on his office couch, Don always has his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/products.asp?id=window-blinds\/wood-blinds\/\">wood blinds<\/a> drawn but never fully closed nor tilted shut. He is in a constant state of incompleteness, of searching, of discovering. Whether he feels half full or half empty isn\u2019t clear, but we do know that he has mastered the art of mystery. His namesake (a fake one at that) is a testament: Don (a god) Draper (the master of shrouding, concealing, burying and keeping us guessing). We can never clearly see through his window.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/don-as-boy_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6559 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/don-as-boy_edit.png\" alt=\"Young boy and adult man in vintage room with floral wallpaper, patterned curtains, near staircase\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/don-as-boy_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/don-as-boy_edit-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/don-as-boy_edit-220x145.png 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even in the brief flashbacks of Don\u2019s childhood in the 20\u2019s, which become more vivid with each season, we see these wisp-thin faded (yet fantastically patterned) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/products.asp?id=curtains-and-drapery\/custom-drapery\/\">curtains<\/a> that manage to tell the story on their own of this complicated home in which Don had his formative years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sterling-white-blinds_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\" aria-label=\"View larger image 3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6564 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sterling-white-blinds_edit.png\" alt=\"Large white wood blinds covering a window in a modern office with a desk and a woman on the phone\" width=\"600\" height=\"327\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sterling-white-blinds_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sterling-white-blinds_edit-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We all know Roger Sterling\u2019s office is a shrine to the contemporary, including his spare and neutral white wood blinds.
