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.

Reno is abuzz with summer activity! Slap on some sunscreen, throw on your favorite pair of shades, and you are set for being on the water, spending time at festivals, biking - whatever it is that you love in the great outdoors. You protect yourself from the intense summer sun and heat, but do you protect your home and your budget? Here are three great window covering solutions from our team at Horizon Window Fashions that will save your home from the summer heat.
While you don’t want to slather your home in sunscreen, we know that you do want to protect your beloved furnishings from UV damage. Hunter Douglas has made this effortless with a revolutionary innovation in motorized window shades: PowerView.

Day after day as the temperature hits 90 degrees, your air conditioner is undoubtedly working overtime—and costing you a lot of money. Or, worse yet, you may be choosing to not run your air all the time—which means you are living in uncomfortable temperatures both inside and out. If this is you, we have good news. You don’t have to sacrifice comfort to save money. The right kind of window coverings are the solution you need. Duette shades are a favored option to save your home from the summer heat. They insulate at the window to keep your home a comfortable temperature—no matter the weather outside—which gives your AC a break and you some extra cash in your pocket.
While the summer sun is gorgeous, gazing at it often hurts your eyes. How often do you find yourself reaching for your sunglasses as you drive around the busy streets of Reno? Do you ever reach for them at home? You might not realize how much the summer sun is affecting the atmosphere of your home. Windows that face east and west let in direct sunlight and heat all day. Ones that face north and south can produce blinding glare. Finding the perfect shades for your windows is just as important as finding your own favorite pair! We can help you choose window covering solutions, like top-down bottom-up window shades, that diffuse glare and allow you to control how much and where light comes into your home. Save your home from the summer heat and give it the look and feel you want.
Summer is all about enjoyment. Why not enjoy a comfortable, energy-efficient, protected, and naturally lit home that saves you money? Let our team help you find window covering solutions that will save your home from the summer heat and put extra spending cash in your wallet.

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.

Every home has its tricky spots. And solving those issues is not always easy - sometimes you create problems by solving other ones. When it comes to light control solutions, versatility is your most important characteristic, offering you solutions that will fit your lifestyle. One of our favorite ways to provide you with the versatility you need, here in the Reno area, is with top down bottom up window coverings.
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 beauty of this operating feature is that you still can enjoy natural light filling your rooms. You can still take in the beauty of the trees and sky right outside your home. No sacrifice here, but all the privacy you and your family need.
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. Wouldn’t it be nice to find a solution that doesn’t feel so secluded? Top down bottom up window coverings can be adjusted to fit the exact position needed. You can still experience the beauty of your view with natural light entering your home, without risking heating it up.
Do you know that the automation of your window shades can be scheduled? Throughout the day, the sunlight interacts with your home in different ways based on your home’s location and the direction your windows face. Top down bottom up window coverings can be set to adjust so your home receives the best benefits available with effortless operation. We would love to help you discover what the versatility of custom window shades can do for you. Contact our team, at Horizon Window Fashions for a free, in-home consultation.
Fresh air and sunshine. With all of the Springtime excitement in the Reno area, humans are not the only ones who want to enjoy all that nature has to offer. While they can’t be outside all the time, your pets can enjoy a daily dose of sunshine and a great view with window coverings based on their needs. (And yours, too!) Make sure it’s safe for them with these tips for pet safe window coverings.
Houzz featured an article that takes you room-to-room for pet proofing your home. We know that pets spend a great deal of time at the windows. They want to be a part of the excitement, sometimes just catching a glimpse is enough to satisfy their curiosity. Wouldn’t it be great if you could maintain privacy and light control without having to worry about what it would look like later? Pet safe window coverings, like our Skyline Gliding Panels, offer a vertical solution for pets to nudge aside to take a peek, or open for partial view during the day. Perfect for sliding glass doors and large windows, these pet safe window coverings allow your pet to interact without harm to themselves or your window shades, and go right back into position.
Cords can be dangerous for children and pets that just want to play. Pet safe window coverings involve removing the temptation of potential entanglement so your pets will stay safe, even when you’re away. All of our window shades and window blinds, like our Pirouette Window Shadings, feature safety options when it comes to cords. That means you choose what will work best for your home, knowing that our first priority is to keep your family safe, and that includes the furry members! Cordless options are available in LiteRise and PowerRise. If a cord is necessary, you have the options of Cordlock technology or a short, retractable cord. Keep them safe, and give yourself some peace of mind.
Pets love to be front and center for whatever is going on just beyond your windows and doors. You know your pet best. Sometimes giving them access to the view is what they need, and sometimes it’s not. Some pets do better with a bit more seclusion. The beauty of pet safe window coverings, like our Vignette Modern Roman Shades, is that with features like top/down, bottom/up, you can decide on the environment for your pet. For more seclusion, without sacrificing natural light, bring the top down while keeping the bottom closed. For a consistent, comfortable temperature all day while your pets enjoy the view, adjust open slightly at the top and bottom, while the majority of the window shades stay in position, giving you all the benefits you need.
One concern we all have with pets is the cleanliness factor. Pets bring in dust. They leave footprints. They leave hair that forms pet ‘tumbleweeds’ in the corners of your home. Hunter Douglas offers materials and fabrics that are dust and soil resistant, which means that your pets can interact with these pet safe window coverings, and they will remain fresh and clean for years to come. With design features, like the pleats of Duette Architella Shades, the innovation of TruPleat technology ensures that your window shades will stay organized and uniform - just the way you want it to be.
Members of our family, permanently stuck in our hearts, our pets mean the world to us. Create an environment in your Reno area home that allows them to exist comfortably throughout their days and nights. With pet safe window coverings, your pets will be protected, and your investment will too, with the long-lasting durability of our Hunter Douglas products.
