Barrows Custom Window Treatments • June 4, 2020

Decorating your windows takes careful consideration of your existing decor, the purpose of the room, and your needs for light control and privacy. One type of window treatment many homeowners prefer for their homes is horizontal blinds. This simple and sleek window treatment style is very versatile and can work in pretty much any room. And when you choose custom blinds from Hunter Douglas, you will be able to choose from a wide variety of exciting custom options.
Living Room Blinds
Decorating your living room is all about creating a space where people feel warm and relaxed in your home. It also doesn’t hurt to design your living room to make a good impression. Making use of genuine hardwood is a perfect way to create a sophisticated look and a cozy atmosphere for your living room. With Parkland® Wood Blinds, your living room will look elegant and welcoming, ideal for creating plenty of memories with friends and family. The sleek and expertly crafted wood slats help you easily control light while getting great views of the outdoors. Natural sunlight also looks gorgeous while reflecting off of the beautifully stained wood.
You can also enjoy a natural wood look with the EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds. These faux wood blinds are available with the TruGrain® collection of wood grain looks. You can also choose solid paint colors for a modern, chic style.
Kitchen Blinds
When it comes to custom blinds for your kitchen, you’ll want to focus on both style and durability. The kitchen is a place where lots of heat and moisture will be generated every day, so your blinds need to be tough. In addition to adding a fashion-forward look to your kitchen, the EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds
are made to handle lots of heat and moisture without any issues. So not only will your kitchen blinds look amazing, but they will stay looking like new for years. Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds are also a great choice for kitchens thanks to the strong metal slats. You can add stunning light to your kitchen as well thanks to your choice of metal textures.
These attributes also make these custom metal and faux wood blinds great for bathrooms as well.
Bedroom Blinds
The best window decorations for bedrooms are ones that create a sense of relaxation and that help you keep your bedrooms dark. Custom wood blinds like Parkland® Wood Blinds will create a space that immerses you in coziness, helping you feel calm at night. You can choose from a variety of wood stain tones to pick the color that works best for your room. You also can choose the available De-Light™ feature for each collection of Hunter Douglas custom blinds, which gets rid of cord holes on the slats for a sleeker look and more thorough room-darkening.

The unexpected circular shapes will energize your design style. Don’t be a square – or even a rectangle! Rooms that have only sharp edges and straight lines can create a feeling of too much order and lead to a sense of discomfort or inflexibility. Add just a few round elements as an accent to soften and relax a room. You can be creative in your definition of “round” to include more than perfect circles. Include ovals, egg-shapes, ellipses, arches, curls, cylinders, rings and more. The idea is just that you add a few rounded shapes, in addition to the straight lines and square corners that are everywhere in your home. Even in the feng shui concept of interior design, round shapes are important. Feng shui is about balancing five elements, one of which is metal. The metal element is expressed as a round shape in decor; and round design elements are believed to bring clarity, precision, freshness and equality into a room. The possibilities for adding round shapes to your home environment are almost unlimited: Round pillows Curved patterns in wallpaper or upholstery fabric Cylindrical, round or oval accessories – such as vases, bowls and urns Disk-shaped tables – including dining tables, end tables and coffee tables Round light fixtures or lamps A circular sofa sectional Elliptical or round mirrors or artwork Spiral staircases And if you’re remodeling, round windows and arch top doorways or windows – or you can change the shape of a room to have a rounded window bay. Circular or oval rugs Think outside the box. Round out your interior design with some circular shapes!
