Having high-quality window coverings over the glass in your house is important for reasons other than just aesthetic appeal. Horizon Window Fashions is Reno’s licensed Hunter Douglas supplier. We are passionate about providing you with beautifully made window treatments that also protect you and your family as well as your furniture and other possessions.
When you purchase Hunter Douglas window coverings through Horizon Window Fashions, you can be sure that they’re going to fit your window properly. Our experts come directly to your home to precisely measure. Many people purchase their window treatments directly online or through a catalog and then take the risk of the coverings not fitting properly. After we’ve provided you with a free consultation that entails properly measuring your windows, we invite you to come see our showroom. There, you’ll be able to see firsthand an example of every single Hunter Douglas shade, blind, or shutter that is sold. You can view directly our wide range of color options and you’ll be able to touch every type of fabric or material we have to offer. This way, there will be no surprises when we come to install your new treatments. You’ll be getting exactly what you want and exactly what you expect. By purchasing treatments that fit your glass impeccably and look flawless, you are making sure to retain the value of your home so that when/if the time comes, you can sell it quickly and at the right price. Old, faded, and broken window coverings will make your home less desirable to potential buyers.
Huge glass windows are certainly beautiful in the middle of the day. Let the natural light into your home and also enjoy the view you have on the other side of the glass. But, what happens at night? Many don’t enjoy the thought of others being able to see into their home once the sun goes down. The best solution to this is to cover your glass with shades that can open completely during the day but can also close fully at sundown. This will give you peace of mind knowing that you and your family are protected from outside view. When families approach us with this dilemma, one of our favorites to recommend is the Hunter Douglas Silhouette™ shade.
The Silhouette™ shade is absolutely perfect because it combines beauty and elegance with functionality. The S-shaped vanes almost appear to be floating between sheer panels. You can open them just slightly or you can pull them up completely to let all the sunlight in. Many of our customers tell us that the Silhouette shade is the most luxurious of all. The great part about the Silhouette shade (as well as a lot of other Hunter Douglas shades) is that there are several different options available to customize your shades. If you like a completely blacked out look, then the Silhouette Duolite™ shade is perfect as it has a room darkening roller shade nestled right behind the Silhouette™. You can also integrate these shades with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Motorization and schedule times throughout the day to open and close your shades. The convenience is remarkable—you won’t even have to blink.
Over time, ultraviolet light, visible light, and solar heat all contribute to the fading of furniture upholstery, wood, art, paintings, and other items, bringing down the value of your home and other property you own. While keeping your shades open during the day can sometimes be nice, it’s important not to do it all the time, especially when the sun is at its strongest point, or if you’re out of town. Hunter Douglas window treatments have the ability to draw natural light into your home without shining directly on your furniture and floors and fading the color. Our coverings are also energy efficient so that you can save on your energy consumption in the winter as well as in the summer.
We are happy to offer a completely free consultation to any and all customers interested in customized window coverings. Through coming to your home and assessing your needs, we are attempting to streamline the process of choosing the best treatments for your windows. While the process can be time-consuming and stressful, we are here to give you an experience that will always put you first. If you’re interested in window coverings but you aren’t fully committed, simply fill out our contact form and we are happy to provide you with any information you need!

What’s holding you back from moving forward and having the home of your dreams? Is it that you are just too busy to research solutions? Maybe you look at window covering options, but feel overwhelmed by all of your choices. Is buying window coverings just at the bottom of your to-do list?

Bare windows allow the sun to wreak havoc in open living rooms like this. Walk into the space, and you’re already squinting into an unyielding glare. Try to relax with a book or your favorite device on a summer day, and you’re sweltering as the sun shines in on you. The winter is equally unbearable, as cold drafts freeze you out. Not only is all of that unmitigated sun potentially damaging your eyes, but UV rays are also damaging your furnishings. The “before” of this before and after transformation is painful. Without window coverings all you can do is avoid this room until the sun goes down. Does this remind you of a space in your own home? It doesn’t have to. By taking charge, you can enjoy light and privacy control and protect your valuables. You can live in comfort and in control.
These Silhouette window shadings changed this room immensely. The shades pull in and spread out natural light. The window coverings diffuse the light and cut glare, better allowing for a breathtaking view. Instead colors are no longer washed out by the sun, instead they accent the space. There is now also protection from harmful UV rays. These Silhouette window coverings are not only beauty, they also restore functionality to this space. The temperature is now more stable and it's easier to imagine relaxing here. The window shades provide effortless adjustability, allowing you as much light and privacy as you like. Silhouettes are one of many window covering options Horizon has to offer.

Your children mean the world to you, and their safety is a top priority. We want you to know that our team at Horizon Window Fashions cares about the safety of you and your family, too. October is window covering safety month, and we know you have lots of questions. We’re here to give you answers and ensure that your home is equipped with child-safe window coverings.
A: When it comes to window coverings, cords are the main hazard for children. While they might not look overtly dangerous, they can get wrapped around a child’s neck and cause serious injuries. Safety experts recommend that homes with young children have only cordless window treatments.
A: We’re excited to share that, with Hunter Douglas’s innovative technology and design, there are lots of ways to go cordless. Two of the most popular options are the Hunter Douglas LiteRise and PowerView motorization. The LiteRise operating system turns window blinds and shades into cordless wonders! Allowing you to simply push or pull them with your hand, your window coverings easily slide right where you want them. For child-safe window coverings coupled with convenience, look no further than PowerView motorization. A sleek Pebble remote or your favorite device takes the place of a cord. Just tap a button, and your window treatments adjust. You can even program your shades to move automatically! Hunter Douglas PowerView supports your busy life and your desire for safety.
A: While cordless is the ideal option for child-safe window coverings, sometimes a cord is necessary. The good news is that you don’t have to compromise safety. Hunter Douglas has revolutionary products that make cords safe. The UltraGlide operating system features a retractable pull-cord. This means that your cord maintains the same length whether your window coverings are raised or lowered. You can make the cord short so that it is up and out of the way of little hands. The continuous loop cord is another great choice. Looped inside a mechanism and secured inside your window frame, your cord operates like a pulley. Pulling on the front half of the loop lowers your shade, and pulling on the rear of the loop raises it. With either option, you’ll never have to worry about strings dangling and endangering your family. You’ll have the function of a cord and the peace of mind that your window coverings are safe for your kids.
A: Yes, yes, and yes! Life is full of hazards. While you can’t safeguard your children from all of them, you should take steps to prevent the ones that you can. Installing child-safe window coverings will prevent injury and death, and your child’s life is worth that investment! At Horizon Window Fashions, we understand that the safety of your children is priceless, but the cost of protecting them isn’t. That’s why, this month, we are offering free cordless upgrades on products that are already on sale during our Season of Style event. We want to help ensure the safety of your family at the best price.
A: If you’re ready to make your home safer for your family, we are ready to help. You can stop into our showroom, or you can let us come to you. We’ll gladly visit your home, help assess your needs, and guide you to child-safe window coverings that are just right for you and your unique home.

Are you excited for autumn in Reno this year? As the blazing summer heat begins to fade, cooler nights and more comfortable days are already a refreshing relief! Soon, vibrant colors will fill the trees and fall will be on full display with all of its glorious splendor. Enjoy that beauty inside your home this year with the season’s hottest design trend: rustic decor. Bring in organic textures and shapes, natural warmth and colors, as well as glowing light and views all while keeping an elegant feel in your spaces. While autumn transforms the outdoors into a postcard-worthy paradise, transform your interior into one fit for a double page spread in a magazine. Start with the right top-down bottom-up window shades. They’ll set the perfect tone for striking rustic style in your home this season.
One of the key features of rustic decor is its connection to nature. Rustic rooms are extensions of the outdoors and incorporate natural elements throughout their spaces. Hand-woven shades made from reeds, grasses, and woods–like these Provenance shades–are ideal for establishing rustic style. They make a natural, yet stunning, design statement all while offering you exceptional light control and spectacular views. These top-down bottom-up window shades filter sunlight and let you adjust them from the top or bottom to give your rooms a gorgeous autumn glow without harsh brightness or glare. Offering you a view-through, they also turn outside fall landscapes into pieces of art you can enjoy inside. Customize Provenance shades with optional valances and edge bandings for just the perfect look in your home this fall.
Rustic decor is all about natural lighting and views. With simple and minimal furnishings and accents, sunlight and outdoor panoramas often take center stage in rustic-styled rooms. Large expanses of glass on windows and doors are every rustic’s dream. Yet, extreme brightness, glare, UV rays, and temperatures are not. Choosing the right window treatments is a huge part of making rustic decor a beautiful and comfortable reality in your home. The function of top-down bottom-up window shades is optimal for getting the most versatile light control, and Duette Architella Shades, shown here, add the benefits of superior energy-efficiency, UV protection, and a welcoming style that is a natural partner for contemporary rustic decor. Customize them for your home this fall and get free cordless with the Exclusive Savings promotion going on now!
A sense of connection to the past is a classic aspect of rustic decor, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work in a contemporary space. In fact, today’s interpretations combine tradition with modern design for a unique, best-of-both-worlds look. A predominantly neutral color palette mixes with pops of modern color. Natural materials and textured fabrics are paired with sleek surfaces and clean lines. Organic-looking window treatments merge with modern conveniences. These Solera Soft Shades appear to have come straight from the natural world, so they blend nicely into a rustic-inspired environment, and they have all of today’s desired features: energy-efficient design, light-filtering and room-darkening options, top-down bottom-up function, and PowerView automation. They provide all the warmth and charm of rustic styling with all the conveniences of modern living. What more could you want? How about to get them on sale? Save on Solera Soft Shades this fall during the Season of Style Event!
With beauty ever-increasing outside, autumn is the perfect time to invite the natural and dramatic beauty of rustic decor into your home. It will transform your rooms into spaces of both comfort and elegance. If you’re ready to begin with the perfect top-down bottom-up window shades, we’re ready to help. Our design consultants can guide you in selecting the right styles, materials, colors, and operating systems for your rustic-inspired rooms. We can even provide advice and inspiration to help you achieve the look and feel you want in your home. Contact our team at Horizon Window Fashions for a free, in-home consultation.

Save your home from the summer heat and give it the look and feel you want.

Sunny skies, a beautiful view...Summer time in the Reno area can be filled with both. Does your home need window coverings? If the idea of the Summer sunshine has you feeling like you want to run and hide, chances are you either don’t have window shades, or maybe you don’t have the right ones. The correct window coverings for your home will provide energy efficiency, privacy, UV protection and light control. The results from before and after Hunter Douglas Powerview window coverings will amaze you, and leave you wondering how you ever lived without them.
Beautiful decor, an amazing view. This home is the essence of style and design...but wait. Look at that spectacular view - can you actually see anything beyond the blinding glare? That harsh light enters the room, draining all color from the artwork and other elements of design. Everything is left dull and hazy. The light makes the room feel uncomfortable, and the temperature most likely does as well. The heat in this home will skyrocket in the late afternoon as the intensity of sunlight treats those floor to ceiling windows much like magnifying glasses. The air conditioning will be working on overdrive in an attempt to maintain consistency. Have you see enough? The ‘before’ of this before and after window coverings scene is a realistic look at the burdens of absent window shades.
The scene has changed in so many ways. The atmosphere is full of an ambient glow, natural light entering in just the right amount through the beneficial feature of these top down bottom up window coverings. Duette shades add the beauty of design, but also contribute much needed privacy, light control, UV protection and energy efficiency. The design elements of the room seem to pop with color, as the harsh light no longer invades the space. UV protection in place means that the beautiful artwork, flooring and belongings are no longer in danger of fading with time. The temperature is consistent and comfortable - maintained easily with the insulation of cellular technology at the window with Duette shades. The life of the room has changed as the function of the room is now effortless with the Hunter Douglas PowerView. PowerView automation allows the ultimate control with one touch of a button on your favorite device. Create scenes, set schedules and enjoy control from anywhere in the world with PowerView from Hunter Douglas.

With top down bottom up window coverings, you can adjust your custom window shades exactly where you need them to be so you feel comfortable with your privacy.

The environment within your home should be all you want it to be. Pleasant and relaxing, you should spend time in your home without complication or frustration. With top down bottom up window coverings, adjust your window shades based on circumstance. Feel like watching TV in the afternoon? No problem. The glare is diffused, even though natural light can be welcomed in through other parts of the window. Exactly what you need and want, every time.
Make no mistake - one of the biggest issues for homeowners in the Reno area is temperature control. The intensity of direct sunlight can make those utility bills skyrocket.

You can still experience the beauty of your view with natural light entering your home, without risking heating it up.

There are many reasons to start a remodeling project - one of the biggest ones is to increase the value of your home. Whether you just moved in, are thinking of selling, or just caught the Spring bug that urges us to refresh our surroundings, staying focused on projects that will improve your happiness and increase the value of your home is important. HGTV has identified tips for helping you get started. While we are in total agreement with HGTV, we also believe that home improvements are often about the atmosphere and the feel of a home. Don’t know where to begin? It’s always better to get started on that next project - even if that means just stepping foot inside a showroom or home improvement store to find some inspiration. In the Reno area, we would love to have you stop in or schedule a free, in-home consultation for window coverings that will transform your home.
To increase the value of your home, you have to start with the first impression. Now is the time of year to make changes to the outside of your home - you can find time when it’s cooler and the sun is less intense. General cleaning and simple landscaping is a must. You will feel better about yourself and your home with improvements to the outside. This includes window coverings: consistency counts. The look of your home will come together with a polished appearance when you have window coverings that provide consistency from the outside. And when you pull up after a long day, you will fall in love with your home all over again.
When thinking of ways to increase the value of your home, the kitchen should be your top consideration. Changes that you make will improve the look and feel of your kitchen, and the atmosphere of your home will reflect that. The kitchen is where a great deal of your family’s time is spent, and it’s often where habits are formed. The investment you put into your kitchen will be a huge benefit in the long run. You may not have to do much, but even changing out the lighting, buying new hardware and adding a coat of paint are small projects that will update it and make it feel like a whole new space. Window coverings can help bring in the light for a natural glow, creating the right environment for healthy choices. And with the Counterparts Program from Hunter Douglas, you can choose window coverings that offer complementary styles to coordinate your home.
Just like the kitchen, bathroom upgrades can do a lot to increase the value of your home. An important investment, redoing the bathroom can sometimes feel like a daunting task. Take time to consider whether you need to start over, or if small changes and updates will be the right choice for you. Lots of elements of decor can provide the refreshment you need: changing mirrors, lighting, hardware and paint colors. Maybe the structure and fixtures are in quality shape, but you want to add personality? Think about buying new linens and artwork to add your own appeal. Bathrooms can feel like your own personal sanctuary with the right window coverings. You will be able to transform your bathroom into a space that offers high amounts of natural light with as much privacy as you need, and you will be able to start your day off on the right note every morning.
The lighting in a home has such an effect on the atmosphere. To increase the value of your home, consider upgrades to lighting that add to the function and style of the space. Decide whether the room in question needs a dimmer or a switch for additional ambiance. Window coverings play an important role in the atmosphere and lighting of each and every room in your home. Window coverings that filter the light, or pull the natural light in, will transform the look and feel of that room. Window coverings can change the way you interact with a space, increasing your productivity and mood. The style added to a room with window coverings that complement your home’s decor are sure to put a smile on your face every time you enter.
While some home improvements can feel overwhelming, getting started on your next project in the Reno area can be fun and easy with our team at Horizon Window Fashions. We would love to work with you to create the environment you have always wanted in your home. Whether you are looking to increase the value of your home, or just refresh the atmosphere with style and function, we can help! Contact our team for a free, in-home consultation.
