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.

Just Right Blinds & Shutters shares back-to-school & fall decorating tips



Use this season of back-to-school excitement and approaching crisp days and fall colors to inspire a home décor refresh. Here are a few ideas that even busy parents and homeowners can do:

  • Celebrate the students in your life with a back-to-school mantel. Gather materials you already have–small globes, colorful school supplies and notebooks, vintage books, trophies, alphabet stickers, even fresh apples in glass vases–and let your imagination inspire as you arrange them.
  • Refresh an old desk to create a new homework or home office work corner. Add a splash of color to the work surface of an old secretary, or paint the entire desk in a bold, bright primary color. An old industrial-style wood-top work table can be refinished to serve as a warm and attractive desk surface.
  • Pull out a soft old quilt and fold or drape over a sofa or favorite chair. Stack quilts on a bench to create a soothing resting space for cool fall evenings. Add to the cozy atmosphere by scavenging for old family treasures in your attic or basement. Display these or other items you find at a local flea market or antique store to add a meaningful touch of history or storytelling to your surroundings.
  • Blend tactile textures into your décor. Felt, wool, knits, velvet, leather, nubby linen–all create interest and warmth. Use different fabrics as small touches, such as baskets or throws, or add texture as a larger statement, such as new window fashions.

Just Right Blinds & Shutters can help you introduce unique Hunter Douglas window treatment textures into any setting, plus provide light control, energy efficiency and privacy. Consider EverWood Collection alternative wood blinds that feature a natural grain appearance in both deep colors and whites and off-whites, Modern Precious Metals that offer bold colors and interesting new finishes, or Provenance Woven Wood Shades that are hand-woven from light-filtering reeds, grasses and woods. Vignette Modern Roman Shades offer textures ranging from soft organics to crisp linens, rich sateens and much more.
