Everyone is familiar with the classic look and easy operation of the horizontal blind. They feature a series of slats that span the length of the window treatment and rotate open and closed for easy and convenient views. You can open or close them to take advantage of the expanse of your windows or to enjoy the privacy provided by the wood, composite, or metal slats.

At Pacific Shutters & Shades, we’re proud to offer Hunter Douglas blinds perfect for one window, one room, or for your entire home’s interior design. In this blog, we’ll discuss the three different varieties of Hunter Douglas horizontal blinds we have in our showroom and how you can use them in a whole-home design.

When selecting horizontal blinds for your design, whether it’s an accent window or a large picture window, consider the following factors:

• Window function.
• Room lighting needs.
• Room humidity levels.
• Room’s design aesthetic.
• Energy efficiency goals.

By taking these aspects into account and exploring the diverse options offered by Hunter Douglas, you can create a cohesive and stylish look throughout your home. Whether you opt for the natural elegance of Parkland® Wood Blinds, the durability of EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds, or the contemporary flair of Modern Precious Metals™ Mini Blinds, you're sure to find the perfect solution for your windows.

When it comes to whole home design, window treatments play a crucial role in tying together your interior aesthetic while providing essential light control and privacy. Horizontal blinds are a great layerable feature treatment that can draw your look across all of your windows.

• Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds: For those seeking a touch of natural beauty and warmth, Parkland® Wood Blinds are an excellent choice. These blinds are crafted from genuine hardwood poplar or basswood, bringing a rich, natural ambiance ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and studies. Parkland® Wood Blinds can be paired with elegant draperies for a layered, sophisticated look. They're particularly striking when paired together for large picture windows.
• EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds: If you love the look of wood but need something more resilient, faux wood material offers the perfect solution. These blinds mimic the appearance of real wood while providing superior durability and moisture resistance. Suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens, EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are an excellent option for homeowners looking to incorporate the same treatment throughout their entire home.
• Modern Precious Metals™ Mini Blinds: For a more modern approach, these lightweight aluminum metal blinds offer a clean, streamlined look that's perfect for contemporary interiors. Available in a range of metallic finishes, including pearlescent and stonelike textures, these blinds bridge a gap between efficient modern spaces and chic, layered designs rich in color and texture.
• Don’t Forget the Drapes: Custom drapery creates the perfect pairing with blinds. The two together build a luxe layered look that can change from room-to-room and add even more light control and variance to a complete interior design. Mixing blinds and drapery allows for a wider range of design possibilities, enabling you to change the look of your room seasonally or as your tastes evolve. The combination of blinds and drapes can also create an additional barrier against heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, potentially lowering your energy bills. This layer of insulation can help absorb sound, creating a quieter, more peaceful interior environment.

Remember, the right window treatments in combination can transform your space, enhance your home's energy efficiency, and provide the perfect balance of light and privacy. Invest in quality blinds from Hunter Douglas at Pacific Shutters & Shades to enjoy the beauty and functionality they bring to your whole home design for years to come.
