There are many benefits to bringing natural light into your home. Not only will your home feel brighter and more lively, but you’ll also see changes in your mood, health, and productivity.

Also, utilizing the natural light in your home helps save energy and money, and can enhance the look and beauty of your home’s interior. See for yourself how the products from Horizon Window Fashions, a Hunter Douglas partner, can help give your home the natural light it needs.
The Vignette® shades from Hunter Douglas are made from tactile fabrics that have either flat or contoured folds. The folds help make the shades look nicely uniform and elegant. And their chic look is perfect for transforming incoming light so that it’s crisp and bright. The fabric has light-filtering abilities that allow natural light to enter your home without being overly bright. Another variation of this shade Duolite, offers a sheer front shade with a room-darkening back panel which also allows natural light to enter your home while providing more privacy and light control.
As a Hunter Douglas partner, Horizon Window Fashions carries a variety of Hunter Douglas products, including the Silhouette® window shadings. These window coverings are perfect for adding some natural light to your home because of their soft fabric and tilting ability. Also, these window treatments are designed with unique S-shaped vanes that make diffusing light possible. This helps heighten your senses and allows you to personalize the amount of light you let into your home. And when the shades are tilted, you have optimal privacy from the outside, which lets you manage light and privacy almost effortlessly. You’re easily able to transform a dark and dreary room into a warm and inviting space with these shades.
As an added bonus, the Silhouette® window shadings are also available with a specialized front and back sheer that diffuses light and provides UV protection. And, the best part is you still get a view of the great outdoors.
The PowerView™ motorization system that pairs with Hunter Douglas blinds and shades makes opening and closing your window treatments effortless and convenient.

That means you have the opportunity to structure your window coverings based on the amount of light you want to let in and always have the chance to get the best natural light in your home. You can even adjust the programming of the device to follow the sun’s movements for an enhanced experience.
When it comes to bringing natural light into your home, the window treatments you use are critical. Horizon Window Fashions, a Hunter Douglas partner, offers various window treatments that come directly from Hunter Douglas. Their quality blinds and shades provide the perfect addition to any window.

Our Reno sunshine can be a bit intense at times, but during this season of year, it can also be a welcome sight. It all depends on the location of your windows. Window placement can mean lovely rays of sunshine dancing near your home, or frustrating sun for hours on end. The latter of the two can lead to faded floors and furniture, not to mention the obvious frustration of that glare. We want you to enjoy the sunshine and take advantage of the natural light available to your home. We can help you find just the right window coverings that will let the light work for you ...regardless of window placement!
The beauty of sunrise, the quiet stillness as day begins. You probably know how it feels to be lulled awake by the early morning light. The warmth of the rays add a cozy feeling after a cool night. You probably get more done, as that natural light adds productivity to your early morning. However, by Ten O’Clock in the morning, you might be sweating because of that sunshine. It enters your windows, heating your home to unbearable temperatures. You need window coverings with benefits that allow you to enjoy the beauty of the sunrise and morning light, without adding to the temperature. Soft, filtered light will bring in the natural light, but still provide you with the privacy and UV protection you need. Ease of operation means you can change the direction of the vanes, let light in above the window coverings - instead of below, and make those adjustments regularly according to circumstance.
The colors of sunset create an atmosphere of utter relaxation. The sun slips into the horizon, and you settle in with the dramatic hue of dusk as the backdrop of your home. It would be nice, of course, if that was the only effect of having West facing windows. The truth is, you probably understand what it is like to come home, after a long day, to a house that has been baking in the sun for six hours. Your furniture, artwork, flooring...all of your belongings are at the mercy of that intense light. Window coverings can offer you solutions so you can enjoy the sunset, while still preserving your privacy. You will be able to step into a comfortable temperature, without running up your energy bills. You can enjoy the ease of adjustment, so your lifestyle dictates the light control, not the light controlling you.
Even though your windows keep your home free of overbearing sunlight, window coverings can offer you amazing benefits to improve the atmosphere in your home. Adjustment and tilt of window coverings will allow you to pull in and enjoy the natural light that normally would be lost. They will provide energy efficiency year round, as the insulation keeps the air in your home at a consistent temperature. They will also allow you to avoid the frustration of occasional glare that comes and goes, depending on time of year and weather. It gives you the control of how much light enters your home and when.
You windows can provide you with beauty and atmosphere. They can also fill your life with frustration and annoyance. It’s time for you to take control - to make the most of the light available to you. We can help. We will guide you during our consultation, with consideration of window placement and how you use the rooms. We want to create the ideal environment for your family.

Brrrr...it’s mid-December, and we are already looking forward to warmer spring temperatures. While our weather this year has not gotten as cold and snowy as years past, the chilly temps have us dreaming about bundling up and flying south for the winter! How is the atmosphere in your home? We have amazing solutions so you can relax in the warmth and comfort of your home with energy efficient window coverings.
Chances are...No. For the same reason that it is always a good idea to use caution with a glass full of hot liquid, new windows will not help as much as you would hope. Why? Glass is an amazing conductor. That means that even new windows will still feel cold on the inside of your home. The air that fills your home is continually moving, and every time it brushes up against your windows, the temperature of that air is lowered, creating a draft. With energy efficient window coverings, like the beautiful Duette Honeycomb Shades seen here, a layer of cell within cell structural insulation provides the protection you need to keep the air in your home at a comfortable temperature. And the designer appeal they offer will transform the look of your home!
We recommend these to anyone living in the Reno area. Why? Not only will they keep your home at a comfortable and consistent temperature during the cold months, but they will continue to maintain comfortable temperatures year round. Through the cold of winter, and the heat of summer, your furnace and air conditioner will not be working overtime at any point during the year. In addition, advanced levels of light control will make changes to your home that you will see and feel immediately. Designer appeal, energy efficiency, light control, privacy and UV protection...could you want anything more? Hunter Douglas also offers a wide range of energy efficient window coverings to suit your style, and also your budget, like the affordable Applause Honeycomb Shades seen here.

December has arrived, and the holiday rush has begun! The hussle and bussle of the season is underway, with planning and shopping in the Reno area. Is your home ready for upcoming holiday gatherings this season? Is a little inspiration in need to set a beautiful scene in your home? Why not bring the colors of the season in, ready to greet your guests for your holiday entertaining? The palette is your playground as you discover the hues that speak of your personality and style with the colors of the season: untypical, vibrant, bold. Highlight your home with bright purples, deep emeralds or rich blues to create the perfect atmosphere for your holiday season. Read on for tips on how to complement your home’s unique decor...
Your Walls Will Delight!Adding a splash of color with an accent wall, or changing the overall wall color in a room can help you set a beautiful scene in your home. Often known as the easiest way to makeover a space, painting with the colors of the season will delight you and your guests this year. For a striking look, choose bold colors, while the softer hues are better when altering the entire room. Consider that window coverings can play a big role as part of the wall, so a sophisticated choice, like the Designer Screen Roman Shades seen here, will help you set a beautiful scene in your home!
Accents for Personal Style.Part of the excitement of decorating your home is finding accent pieces that will help your personality shine through. Nothing says complementary styling like a well-chosen accent piece, such as table decor, rugs, blankets or pillows. Accent pieces are a great way to incorporate the colors of the season into a room, with metallics being a very popular selection, perfect for a holiday scene. Other considerations are patterns and textures that can heighten the level of style. With just the right balance, these designer trends will have your space looking fabulous. Window coverings can provide just the right backdrop for your space to showcase the beauty of your accent pieces, like the Applause Honeycomb Shades shown here!
Art Will Inspire.Creating a style statement for a room can happen easily with a dramatic piece of art, featuring the bold look of the colors of the season. Be sure to place large pieces facing the entrance of the room, easily visible and welcoming as your guests enter. For smaller pieces, keep in mind that art is best showcased in odd numbers. Rearranging your favorite pieces is a great way to ‘mix it up’, moving art from one room to another to allow a fresh look. Window coverings can be an important investment when considering UV protection for your artwork. The beauty of stylish window coverings also add their own dimension and sophistication, similar to the contemporary appeal of the Modern Precious Metals Aluminum Blinds seen here.
Design an Atmosphere for Entertaining.Your upcoming holiday gatherings will be ideal with the beauty of the colors of the season for both decor and function. Fresh flowers, candles and linens can all add their own bursts of color, as they help you make a style statement for holiday entertaining. By adding a new light fixture, you add levels of light adjustment and atmosphere. Another way to create ambiance is by outfitting your home with window coverings that allow you adjustment and light control along a spectrum for a beautiful scene. Premier shadings, like Pirouette Window Shadings, let in soft, filtered light for a dramatic glow.
The beautiful view right outside your windows should not be forgotten! Your view can provide the perfect backdrop to holiday celebrations and memory making. With the right window coverings, the colors of the season will incorporate the true season in the colors of your landscape. The amazing benefits of maximum view-through and top/down, bottom/up operation can offer you and your guests a comfortable atmosphere while enjoying your next holiday gathering. We can help.
