New homeowners and those who are ready for new window treatments, listen up! We want to talk to you about three Hunter Douglas products that we love. Below, we are showcasing a project in Eden Prairie, MN, that we did where Hunter Douglas products are shown throughout the home. In the living room and dining room, you will see sleek, clean Pirouette shades. In the master bedroom, Vignette shades provide perfect coverage and elegance. Hunter Douglas shutters were installed in the master bathroom, pairing well with the elegant Nantucket vibe of the space. At Woodbury Blinds, you can find Hunter Douglas product displays available for your viewing. We take pleasure in helping you find the perfect window treatments for your home! Read on to learn more about our three favorite Hunter Douglas products.
HUNTER DOUGLAS PIROUETTES
These gorgeous shades are our number one favorite of all window treatments! They are like a hybrid of Vignettes and Silhouettes. When they are pulled down and closed, they look like a Vignette roman shade. You get to see the beautiful fabrics on the surface, but, surprise…the folds in the roman shade are actually vanes that open up! The functionality of this product is unsurpassed. When the vanes are opened, you get a very soft filtered light from outside and you can still see out through the sheer layer of fabric on the back. This is perfect for rooms where you want just a touch of privacy during daytime hours, but want to be able to get light into the room and see what is going on outside. The filtered backing helps shield tv and computer screens from glaring sunlight also.
HUNTER DOUGLAS VIGNETTES
We love the look of the Vignette modern roman shades. They are a fabric-based soft fold roman shade with the ugly, messy loops and cords on the back. From the outside of the house, you only see a smooth, cord-free white backing. On the inside of the house, the fabric takes center stage. There are multiple beautiful textures and colors. The different styles include a linen, shantung silk, satin, soft metallic, and even a grasscloth look. You can choose from a stacking style which gives you the look of a valance when it is pulled up, or a clean-lined fabric covered headrail that conceals the shade completely when it is rolled up. You can add the top-down/bottom-up feature to this shade also. We love these shades for bedrooms because you can get a room-darkening lining for those days when you want to sleep in. The top-down/bottom up feature allows you to have privacy from neighbors during the day but still allow light to come in through the upper half of the window.
HUNTER DOUGLAS NEWSTYLE SHUTTERS
We love shutters because they are so simple and classic. They’ve been more popular in the south and warmer weather states, but the trend has really spread to Minnesota as well. Hunter Douglas has 3 lines of shutters. The Palm Beach is great for areas that are exposed to water, moisture, or more extreme temperatures. The Heritance shutter line has beautiful authentic wood shutters and even some distressed wood options. These are perfect for windows where you want the wood to be the feature. The New Style shutter line is the most popular because it comes in several white painted finishes. We love the benefits that shutters have over wood blinds. You can get a wider opening to see outside, you can split the tilt function so that the top part of the window operate separately from the bottom part, allowing you to have the bottom closed but the top open or vice versa. Shutters have multiple applications that allow you to mount on front door sidelights, sliding doors, or French doors. They make special cut-outs for door handles and they can add beautiful framing around a frameless window.
Window coverings can really transform a room. Not only are they functional, but they add so much warmth and beauty to each room. As a designer, it’s important to help clients choose the window treatment that meets their needs for each specific space and adds to the aesthetic of each room. Hunter Douglas offers the best selection of products in the industry and has the best service and warranties. It’s a win-win for everyone!
