Coordinating Hunter Douglas Throughout Your Home

Image
This is the newest featured article on hunterdouglas.com  from Sally Morse. A common mistake that many people make when decorating their homes is to think of a room as a box. Why wouldn't they? A room is literally self-contained with its four distinctive walls. But even if we decorate our home one room at a time, we certainly don't want our home to appear simply as a series of boxes. Instead, let's think outside that box. Another frequent mistake is decorating that room in their favorite colors or the style du jour without taking into consideration what is in the next room. As a result, they end up with a patchwork-quilt effect without any flow or continuity, thus making their home appear smaller. Not surprisingly, at "Ask Sally & Jen," the question that we hear most often is "How can I make my home look bigger?" Indeed, I understand that we all want bigger, but don't always know how to create this effect when decorating our homes. Thankfully,...

Going green for St. Patty's Day

In honor of St. Patrick's Day we are talking about "GREEN"... For over 60 years, Hunter Douglas has been creating and offering natural and appealing ways to harness heat and light. In the winter, heat leaves through the window when you need it, yet becomes trapped inside in the summer when you don't. Heat loss and gain drive our energy usage up. It can be felt in our monthly utility bills and calculated in our collective carbon emissions.

Comparison: Blinds vs. Shades

Image
What is the difference between blinds and shades? You may be familiar with the terms blinds or shades but y ou may be wondering what the main differences are between each.  What are the pros and cons of each? Here are a few tips to help you narrow down the selection process... Basically, blinds are window coverings made up of individual slats. They can be completely raised for an unobstructed view or, when lowered, the slats can be rotated to let in more or less light. Shades, on the other hand, are made from single panels of fabric or woven wood rather than slats, so they can only be raised or lowered to achieve light control and privacy.  Blinds come in both horizontal and vertical slats or louvers and have the primary function of controlling the amount of light coming through. There are many types of shades with unique functional benefits from light diffusion to energy efficiency, along with a variety of design options and much more.  So What Do I Choose? Blinds? ...
