How many times have you risen in the morning with sever grogginess and fatigue, feeling tired from the night before? You're not alone - the CDC classifies sleep deprivation as an actual disease, with a recent article that suggests this to be a public health problem, with an estimated 50-70 million US adults having sleep or wakefulness disorder. The National Sleep Foundation even has a set of tips to improve your sleeping habits and overall sleep health. Imagine what you could do if you woke up everyday rested and brimming with energy.
The first step toward avoiding sleep deprivation is to control the amount of light within your bedroom. This concept is rather simple, yet you may not be taking into consideration all of the different light sources. The National Sleep Foundation suggests that your body needs time to shift into sleep mode, "so spend the last hour before bed doing a calming activity such as reading." This is critical as your body needs time to wind down and lower your heart rate. While it might seem hard to relax under the weight of hectic schedules, you’ll find that it’s even harder to fall asleep and stay asleep if you just hop into bed after a demanding day. Start with easy sleep solutions that will help your whole household unwind and bed-down for a night of much needed sleep. For those who typically go to bed in front of the TV, the National Sleep Foundation suggests that, "using an electronic device such as a laptop can make it hard to fall asleep, because the particular type of light emanating from the screens of these devices is activating to the brain." Some suggest that technology is actually changing the way sleep. Most importantly, make sure bedrooms are quiet and the right sleeping temperature. Noises and temperature (too hot or too cold) interferes with sleep. Energy-efficient window coverings and shades with sound-absorption features would make stylish additions to your home’s bedrooms while creating a perfect sleeping atmosphere.
Another aspect of a quality sleeping environment is darkness. Spend at least 20 to 30 minutes before bedtime to turn off the TV. Shut down your devices, and find a calming routine. Little lights on computers, tablets, and phones can impair sleep. The solution is to cover them up, or keep them out of your bedroom altogether. Outside ambient light is yet another consideration. Don’t let the headlights of passing cars or the glow of streetlights interfere with your sleep cycle. Consider window shades that include blackout shade functionality with room-darkening fabrics. Blackout shades create a cavelike environment. A consistently dark environment helps to train your body and regulate your circadian rhythm. Eliminating other triggers like alcohol, cigarettes and large meals before bed also helps to maintain your body's natural rhythms. Sound sleep can be more than just a dream for you and your family with the sleep solutions that light control and window coverings offer.
When it comes to blackout shades look no further than the intuitive technology of Hunter Douglas PowerView window shades. Create and save the right positions for your home’s window coverings throughout the day, and then schedule them to occur automatically. PowerRise Automation takes it from there. Your shades will rise in the morning and move with the sun throughout the day, then lower at bedtime – all without you having to lift a finger. As part of your sleep solution, Hunter Douglas PowerView help you rest easy. Amid the chaos of life, let the incredible benefits of window coverings transform your home into a place where you can let go of the day and enjoy some glorious slumber.

You’ve already noticed that it's darker when you get home and that temperatures are chilly at night. No doubt you’re starting to think about your monthly energy bill. If you have an older home or non energy efficient window treatments, like uninsulated window blinds or shades, then almost certainly your energy bills are going to skyrocket. Here are some common energy efficiency complaints that crop up every winter, so we’ve put together some explanations and advice that's sure to keep your home warmer, while saving you some long-term cash. The best part is that you can begin living a more comfortable, stylish, functional, and energy efficient life.
You're not crazy - in-fact, it is cooler by your windows, and here’s why: the air inside your home is constantly moving. When the temperatures are cold outside, the warm inside air gives up some of its energy and cools off as it passes over the surface of the window. As the air circulates away from the window, you then feel the chill. With insulation you can prevent this from happening, while creating a more energy efficient home. We suggest installing window shades with a cellular design. For example: Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shades are made to trap your home’s warm air in pockets at the window. As air circulates in your home, it circulates around the shade, instead of the cold window. This helps to maintain your home's temperature. The result: if your thermostat reads 72°, you'll be at a cozy, comfortable 72°--even by the windows. What's a cheap way to block heat from windows? The other solution is to insulate yourself. By throwing on a sweater, you can trap heat against your body. This lets you turn the temperature down in your home a few degrees without feeling cold. It can also save you up to 4% on your monthly heating bill. Save energy and money by insulating yourself and your windows this winter.
There’s nothing like a ray of sunshine on a chilly winter day. The sun is a great asset during our Reno winters. It allows you to use solar heat to warm your home; however, its hard to make the most of the sun’s supplemental heating power on a consistent basis. You may leave for work in the morning with gorgeous sunshine streaming in and then come home to a bitter draft flowing throughout your home. If that’s the case, then Hunter Douglas PowerView automated window shades are the answer. These automatic power shades hold the key to making your home more energy efficient. PowerView enables you to program your shades to raise or lower automatically at set times to set positions. This means that you can modulate your home's energy efficiency around the sun's position and the outside temperature. PowerView automatic shades from Hunter Douglas also utilize GPS data to determine the exact sunrise and sunset times in your area. You can capture every second of solar heat without ever having to lift a finger.
The beautiful daylighting you see in all of your favorite home magazines and websites isn't unattainable. With window shades and curtains drawn in the winter, you probably wish you could stop living in a cave and let some natural light into your life. Not only will this boost your mood, but it will result in a more energy efficient home. Dressing your windows with energy efficient window treatments that allow for top-down, bottom-up function will let natural light work in incredible ways. Window shades that diffuse light, block harmful rays, and let you control the direction of lighting will also make your home beautiful, comfortable, and also reduce your need for artificial light. With the right window treatments, you'll save electricity and money, Our solution to this problem are Silhouette and Vignette energy efficient window treatments; these are two of the best options for achieving magazine and website worthy daylighting throughout your home. As winter darkness creeps in, save your lamps and chandeliers for creating awesome dinner party ambiance, and enjoy days filled with smiles and glowing natural light. If you can relate to drafty windows, a busy life that conflicts with the sun’s schedule, and annoying glare or cave-like living, then it’s time to find solutions. The right window coverings make a huge difference in your home and in your life. At Horizon Window Fashions, we’re here to guide you in selecting the best window treatments for your unique spaces. We come to you and asses your window covering needs. If you hurry, you can still take advantage of the best savings of the year during our Season of Style Event.

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.
