Hunter Douglas Motorization for Blinds

How many times has this happened to you? You’ve just come home from a long day at work and you decide to watch some TV to relax and unwind. Then, the setting sun gradually and prolongedly shines its bright ray of light into your living room, either blinding you or creating a stubborn glare across your television screen, both of which interrupt your shows. Everyone experiences this nuisance daily, and I know just how annoying it is to get up and close the blinds. There has to be an easier way!

Hunter Douglas has devised the perfect solution with motorized blinds. The icing on the cake is that PowerView® Motorization won the 2016 Red Dot Design Award. And what’s better is there’s an app for that:

Inside the App – With PowerView® Motorization by Hunter Douglas, you can control the height of your blinds via the PowerView® app, available for download on iOS and Android devices. Through the app, you can adjust your blinds on your time, or you can configure your blinds to raise and lower themselves with the rising and setting of the sun using the Automations feature. With the Scenes function, you can set your preferred height of the blinds and they will automatically adjust throughout the day.

If you’re more old fashioned, there’s also a contemporary remote control option, cleverly named the Pebble due to its ergonomic shape. You can customize the height of up to six blinds installations to fit your preferences.

All of this is made possible with the PowerView® Hub, which connects to your WiFi network. It coordinates all your preferences for the motorized blinds as well as storing your settings.
Behind the Screens – Many of the PowerView® motorized blinds are battery-powered, with the battery hidden in the headrail. For this reason, the blinds are easy to maintain and operate, and maintenance is a breeze. Because the battery component is safely tucked away, everyone can admire the beauty and enjoy ease-of-use of your new blinds.

If you’re looking for a modern alternative to corded blinds, PowerView® Motorization by Hunter Douglas may be the right solution for you. We at Barrows Custom Window Treatments have had the fortune of being certified as motorization experts by Hunter Douglas.

Adding round-shaped interior elements can smooth the hard edges in your interior look.

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!
