Window Fashions Buying Considerations

Deciding on window fashions can be overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to get help from the experts who can tell you the ins and outs, show you the features and benefits, and help ensure you get the right product to fit your needs and budget. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, we’re proud to be the professionals that client after client turns to, and we’ll be more than happy to help you too. If you’re beginning your window treatment search, check out the considerations below, and then be sure to contact one of our consultants for more information. 

Matching to Your Décor  

With hundreds of colorways, patterns, and textures available on numerous Hunter Douglas products, you can rest assured that you’ll be able to find something that will complement your style. Plus, you’ll be able to find versatile options that can remain relevant even if you change something else in the room. Hunter Douglas offers mix-and-match options, including custom drapery or side panels, that can add depth and dimension to the window and enhance the overall look.

Window Treatment Function

Think about the functionality needs of your room. Consider light and privacy, as well as ways to protect from harmful UV rays. You can find many shades with top-down/bottom-up functionality, which allows you to open from the top, from the bottom, or both. If your room needs darkness, you can find products with blackout or light-reduction options. For hard-to-reach windows such as skylights or windows in a vaulted ceiling, consider PowerView® automation for the lift system; it can add convenience, safety, and style.

Home Safety Considerations

Dangling cords are dangerous for curious young children and pets, so think about finding child- and pet-safe lift systems for your new window treatments. Hunter Douglas offers a wide variety, including:

• UltraGlide®, a single retractable cord or wand.
• SoftTouch® motorization, which is a battery-powered system that responds to you pulling down on or pushing up on a wand.
• LiteRise®, which lets you raise and lower the treatment with simple pressure from your hand.
• SimpleLift™, which lets you raise and lower the treatment with the simple touch of a button on the bottom rail.
• PowerView® Automation, a fully programmable motorized system that lets you program your window treatments to adjust at any time, even if you’re not at home.
