An Overview of Hunter Douglas Window Treatments

Hunter Douglas has built its reputation on engineering that underpins good design, and its product line covers almost every window type available in a home. Picking the right piece for each room takes some familiarity with what each product category does well. Rainey's Decorating Center carries the full Hunter Douglas range alongside Carole™ fabrics, and we’ve put together this overview to give you a better idea of the window treatments we offer for your home.

Hunter Douglas Window Treatments at a Glance

The Hunter Douglas catalog is organized into several product families, each built to meet different design and functional needs. Every window treatment is unique, which is why we recommend an in-home consultation so we can learn more about your home’s architecture, your design preferences, and your functional needs. This allows us to provide tailored recommendations.

Hunter Douglas Blinds for Clean, Timeless Rooms

Hunter Douglas blinds offer clean lines that complement a wide range of decor, including modern and contemporary styles. Whether the slats are horizontal or vertical, blinds also give you precise control over the amount of light you want in your space. Depending on the design, you can raise, lower, and rotate them to establish exactly how much privacy, light, or exterior views you wish to see.

Horizontal Blinds

In spaces where privacy and light control are important, Hunter Douglas horizontal blinds are an excellent choice. The smaller gaps between slats provide good coverage, making them ideal for bedrooms and other parts of the home where privacy is paramount. By tilting slats, you can customize your lighting to suit your needs.

• Wood: Real hardwood blinds come in a range of stain and paint finishes, offering a warm look for living rooms, studies, and traditional interiors.
• Faux Wood: Crafted from composite materials, faux wood holds up better in humid areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas.
• Metal: Sleek, streamlined metal slat blinds are as good-looking as they are durable. And when it comes to upkeep, warm water and a soft cloth are all you need to keep them clean.
• Fabric: Soft blinds let sunlight through your windows as a gentle, balanced glow and are easy to use, too. A simple tile bar allows you to tilt the vanes up for a darker space or down to dim the light.

Vertical Blinds

If you need Hunter Douglas window treatments for sliding glass doors and wide window walls, window coverings with horizontal slats might feel out of scale. Vertical blinds move side to side with a wand or motor, opening the full width in one pass.

Hunter Douglas Shades for the Ultimate Versatility

Hunter Douglas shades come in a variety of colors, textures, and features that suit most rooms in the home and add plenty of aesthetic appeal. From tight, modern rollers to soft, gathered Roman shades, each style has its own advantages:

• Roller Shades: Featuring a clean, modern line, they are available in blackout, light-filtering, and sheer fabric weights.
• Roman Shades: In addition to privacy and light control, these shades provide a soft fabric fold look without exposed rear cords.
• Cellular Shades: As energy efficient as they are beautiful, honeycomb shades insulate against heat and cold year-round.
• Sheer Shades: If natural lighting is an integral part of your decor style, opt for sheer shades. These window treatments gently diffuse harsh sunlight and give your home a warm, inviting glow.
• Woven Shades: We love woven window shades in homes that favor natural light and organic textures. Enjoy the unique patterns and colors of shades made from sustainably sourced wood, bamboo, reeds, and grass.

Hunter Douglas Shutters for Architectural Presence

Hunter Douglas shutters give rooms a high-end architectural feel and provide complete light control and privacy. Often considered a more permanent fixture than other window treatments, many homeowners consider these durable coverings a wise investment. The main point to consider when purchasing shutters, beyond color and louver size, is materials:

Wood Shutters: When it comes to window treatments, the low-maintenance look of genuine woodgrain is only surpassed by its durability in living rooms, home offices, and bedrooms.

Composite Shutters: For those who want wood that can withstand the heat and humidity of bathrooms and kitchens, composite shutters are the answer. These hybrids have all the appeal of genuine wood combined with the strength of composite materials.

Vinyl Shutters: Pretty and practical vinyl shutters can withstand high temperatures and moisture; They won’t fade, warp, or crack, making them ideal for high-traffic spaces, kids’ rooms, and homes with pets.

Hunter Douglas Motorized Window Treatments

Control your window treatments with a button, your phone, or your voice with PowerView® Automation. You can schedule shades to open and close at your preferred times or make your home look occupied when you’re away by setting your window coverings to raise and lower throughout the day. Motorized blinds, shades, and shutters also don’t require cords, which makes them a safer choice around children.
