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.

Duette Homeowners are Seeking Style in Honeycomb Blinds

If you think homeowners are purchasing Duette honeycomb blinds for mostly practical reasons, you will think again after learning the results of recent research.  Hunter Douglas has conducted a number of studies with professional research firms over the past two years, and all show Hunter Douglas homeowners’ primary reason for buying Duette honeycomb blinds is the aesthetic beauty of the product. 

So, while homeowners value the practical benefits of Duette honeycomb blinds, they’re attracted to the style: The way Duette blinds brighten the room and seem to change color with sunlight; how the 1-1/4” pleat cascades over the window; the unique textures that resemble natural fibers but are more durable; the small stack that’s almost non-existent when blinds are raised to preserve the view, and the endless palette of colors that add a personalized touch.

Do Hunter Douglas Pirouette Blinds Offer Both Light Control & UV Protection?





Now, Just Right Blinds & Shutters a Hunter Douglas Showcase Priority Dealer offers the new Pirouette window shadings collection that has three new fabric offerings.  Customers can choose from Inda Silk a silk-inspired fabric with a subtle sheen, Stria with crisp clean lines and Valencia with a heathered weave.
 
“We are proud to offer this product that so beautifully combines a soft look with excellent light control in new fabrics that will work in any décor, from casual settings to more formal designs,” said Todd Zimmerman of Just Right Blinds & Shutters.

There are now 24 distinct new Pirouette colors in both semi-opaque and room-darkening options.  There are two vane sizes as well – the 4” Petite and 5” Grande – for windows up to 10-feet wide and 12-feet high.  Vanes can be flattened for complete privacy, contoured for a softened light and view through the sheer backing and adjusted anywhere in between for varying degrees of light control and privacy.
  
Thanks to the Invisi-Lift™ system, the fabric vanes appear to float in the window, providing superior view to the outside. 

Pirouette specialty shapes window shadings are available for trapezoids, ovals, hexagons, octagons and circles.  They accentuate and enhance a window’s distinctive shape while providing light control, privacy and energy efficiency.
  
Superior UV Protection
Pirouette shadings boast high energy-efficiency ratings as well, offering superior protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays, which will eventually fade floors, furniture, upholstery and treasured artwork.  When the vanes are open, the sheer backing reduces glare and blocks up to 81 percent of damaging UV rays and provides daytime privacy while still allowing for light and view.  When the vanes are closed, the product offers 99 percent protection against UV rays.

Geometric shapes can add movement and energy to your rooms.

Think outside the box for a refreshing change of decor.
When most of us purchase home elements, we tend to focus on square and rectangular shapes and surfaces. Yet consider some of the most ancient decorating styles used by the Greeks, Romans and other cultures; they include lots more than just squares and rectangles! Try thinking out of the box for more interest and excitement in your decorating style.


Triangles, hexagons, trapezoids, parallelograms. Who even remembers what some of these shapes are? Maybe now’s the time for a refresher course in high school geometry to spice up your home décor. And don’t forget to add diamonds, chevrons, zig zags and stars to the equation.

Add geometric shapes and patterns to your décor with these home elements:

·         Table tops and table bases
·         Tile and wood flooring
·         Rugs and carpeting
·         Wallcoverings and draperies
·         Upholstery fabric
·         Bed and table linens
·         Throw pillows
·         Dishware
·         Mirrors
·         Inlays on wood furniture
·         Light fixtures
·         Painted wall stencils
·         And even the architectural elements of your home, such as door panels, window panes and brickwork patterns.

Beware of too much geometry; a little goes a long way at perking up a room. Too much can become chaotic. Geometric patterns can look modern, retro or thoroughly traditional, depending on their style, color and design. And they can range from the superwix subtle to ultra bold in look.

Add geometric shapes to your interior design plan. It’s an angle that works!
