Discover Hunter Douglas 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.

Today, Hunter Douglas is committed to lowering our energy usage and implementing other changes that will ultimately reduce our carbon footprint by 20%. Our overriding goal, though, is to help our customers everywhere save energy the natural way by effectively channeling and exploiting the natural power of the sun.

A beautiful bathroom helps you begin and end your days in luxury and comfort.

Make this important room into a personal retreat.
Most of us think about bathrooms in terms of function. And that’s the first need! In addition, consider your bathroom as a room of beauty and comfort! It’s not hard to change a drab bathroom into a luxurious cocoon.

For a calm, serene look and feel, use neutral colors, like white or off-white. If you’re looking for energy, select bold and bright colors, and consider coordinating an en-suite bathroom color scheme with the bedroom color.

Some obvious places to start your bathroom plan are:
·         A paint color that makes you feel pampered
·         An elegant vanity, maybe even a vintage table that’s repurposed
·         New countertops, backsplashes and sinks
·         Updated hardware, including faucets, pulls and handles, available in a   variety of styles and finishes
·         Beautiful framed mirrors, instead of frameless wall-to-wall mirrors
·         Layered lighting that’s beautiful AND functional, and maybe even a skylight to bring in natural light

Redoing the shower or tub is a bigger project, but how much fun to create a luxurious bathing experience. This is a good place to spurge on finishes and hardware since you'll enjoy them every day of the year.

 Function is also key when updating a bathroom.
·         Use slip-resistant flooring.
·         Select finishes that are easy to clean and resistant to water, especially if you live in a humid environment.
·         Plan for as much storage as you need, so the bathroom never looks cluttered.
·         Include plenty of towel racks, so towels are easy to reach and have a chance to dry.  
·         If you have space, include a place to sit, whether it’s a built-in bench or a movable chair or stool.

Are you ready to have a luxurious new retreat in your home? Focus on remodeling your bathroom this season!
