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.

Bedrooms Fit for A Dream

From Just Right Blinds & Shutters – A HUNTER DOUGLAS Distributor in Wheaton, IL

While smaller homes are becoming more popular, large-scale master bedrooms continue remain on-trend as they offer an escape from the real world. Sally Morse, Director of Creative Services for window fashions leader provides the following tips on how to create the perfect retreat in your bedroom:


• Atmosphere: Leave the world, and the items that remind you of it, outside where they belong. Your master bedroom should be tidy and clutter-free, offering a place to de-stress and find solace. Replace cell phones and computers better suited for a home office with candles and photos of loved ones.

• Furniture: Keeping with the streamlined look, furnish the room with essential elements only. An oversized bed with lots of pillows offers a comfortable escape and focal point. Additional furnishings such as “his and hers” bedside tables provide a place for personal items and an armoire can host a television, decorative books and photographs.

• Window Treatments: The right window treatments can soften harsh light and provide privacy and noise control for a restful environment and maybe even a touch of romance. Products such as Silhouette® window shadings from Just Right Blinds & Shutters a Hunter Douglas distributor, diffuse light through two fabric layers for a warm glow and calming effect. The shadings’ rotating fabric vanes have the added benefit of allowing one to manage the amount of incoming light and close when complete privacy and light control are needed. Silhouette shadings also absorb up to 30 percent of reflected sound.

• Decorative Accents: Inviting, yet soothing colors such as soft yellows and warm blues invoke a sense of calm and happiness. A fresh coat of paint in these colors can dramatically alter the look of a room. Add an inspirational element using paintings from places around the world where you have traveled or hope to.

• Bath: Luxury still resonates with the master bath. “His and hers” vanities remain popular as do relaxing soaking tubs. Scented candles and oversized, fluffy towels add both a functional element and serene setting.

With these tips, you will be dreaming in your bedroom both night and day.

THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF COLOR IN HUNTER DOUGLAS BLINDS & SHUTTERS HELP EXPRESS INDIVIDUALITY WITH HOMEOWNERS

The right color brings out the beauty of furnishings and enhances a room’s décor. Silhouette window shades and Vignette roman shades coordinate beautifully with current trends.

Barbara Schirmeister color design consultant for Hunter Douglas defines the 2010 palette as combinations of classic and contemporary, cool and warm, quiet and vibrant and stable and unpredictable. When asked for the number one color combination for the year, Barbara stated, “A gamut of blues (Including both blue-greens and purple hues) balanced with warm yellows, oranges and pinks. Barbara also mentioned these important trends: layering and texture, metallic’s, less of matching colors and more unexpected pairings."

Today’s top colors:
Purple – grayed out violet, redder plumbs
Blue is new green – soft watery blues and vibrant sky blues
Grays and cooled down browns. Yellow for energy.
Brighter accents – oranges, turquoises and teals, red and yellow abound
White is now a business color
Mauve is an older color – works as an accent
