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.

Wheaton. IL – Holiday Decorating Can Help Make the Season More Special. Even Just A Touch Makes Your Home Feel Festive and Warm




A touch of holiday decorating will help get you and your guests into the spirit of the season!  Bet keep in simple so you can enjoy the season without stressing about perfection.

There are so many ways you can decorate your home for the holidays, from the smallest candles and accessories to large scale trees, wreaths and statuary.

Start with a through house cleaning and put away other decorative accessories in your home, especially those tabletops, mantels and furniture.  This disciplined step will ensure you have a clean start for holiday trimmings that really pop.  Once you put away extraneous accessories, you may recognize that you need more than just holiday decorating; it could be time to update carpeting, paint, furniture or window fashions too!

Think about decorations that can create new family traditions and that make you feel good.  This year, consider a new entertainment concept—maybe the first party of the season held before Christmas or the last party of the season a few days after New Year’s.

Make you home feel festive and bright this special season with a focus on holiday decorating!

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!

What’s the Hottest Blind on the Market? - Pirouette Shades



They Offer Beautiful Fabric Layers of a Roman Shade with a Sheer Backing Providing Both Light Control & UV Protection?


Enjoy different levels of light control from semi-opaque to room darkening, now available at Just Right Blinds & Shutters a Hunter Douglas Showcase Priority Dealer.
 
“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 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.

And, the shade rolls away and disappears into a sleek headrail.
  
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.
