Horizon Window Fashions has partnered with Toll Brothers Reno to do vignette shades installations on their model homes. We are going to be starting a series in which we talk about specific model homes and the type of shade or shutter that was installed. Today, we will be talking about the Sorrento Trail model in Damonte Ranch that is featuring a Vignette Shade.
The Hunter Douglas Modern Roman Vignette shades come in a variety of fabrics. The combination of the gorgeous fabric and the soft, stacked folds give your home a clean, modern look. The stacked folds are designed to not only give off a beautiful aesthetic but are easy to operate as well. These shades do not have exposed rear cords, which improves the overall look of your home while also enhancing child safety.
Variety of Fabrics to Choose From: The Modern Roman shades are offered in sheer, light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics opacities. They come in a wide variety of colors and textures including silk, linen, tweed, and more.
Different Styles: The vignette shades are available in two different options. The first option is the Rolling Style feature, which includes a 4" full fold or 6" flat fold and rolls up towards the headrail. The second option is the Stacking style which stacks

The Vignette Shades are also available in PowerView Motorization, LiteRise, UltraGlide, EasyRise, and Top-Down/Bottom-Up Operating Systems.
Horizon Window Fashions will do the installation for you! The process varies depending on the type of shade or shutter and typically takes around 2 hours.
Because Vignette Roman Shades are made using an anti-static, dust-resistant fabric. Here are a few tips to keep your shades looking brand new:
Dusting: To keep your shades dust-free, you can lightly sweep with a feather duster across the tiers.
Vacuuming: If you don't own a duster, a hand-held vacuum or vacuum with a suction attachment is a great alternative to removing dust.
Hair Dryer for Dirt & Debris: If you look at your shades and notice that dirt or debris is starting to collect, you can use your hairdryer (on the cool setting) to clean them out.
Spot-Cleaning: To spot clean your shades, take a cloth or sponge and dip it into a mixture of warm, distilled water and soap. Dab with the dampened cloth until you have gotten your desired result. Allow the shade to dry fully before raising them up!

Window covering safety should be practiced every day, but this month is even more special because it’s National Window Covering Safety Month. This month we’re going to share with you some tools and tricks you can use to keep your children safe from window covering cords. With alternatives such as cordless coverings and the Powerview Hunter Douglas Window Coverings from Horizon Window Fashions, it’s easier than ever to keep your children away from dangerous cords.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission calls corded window coverings one of the top five hidden hazards in American homes, causing infants and children to accidentally becoming entangled in window blind cords. The cords that hang from your window coverings may seem harmless, but they can become potential strangulation hazards to children if not properly managed. There are many window covering options to choose from that are child friendly, see which one will work best for you and your family.
Retractable lift cords can be adjusted to your desired length so they won’t be in reach of children. This system keeps cords at a constant length so you don’t have to worry about readjusting.
Continuous cord loop tensioners keep long cords from hanging down, and away from the reach of children. The cord loops through the tensioner device and works on a pull system, which means small children won’t be able to grab onto the cords.
Hunter Douglas has made window coverings that are completely cordless. To use them, all you have to do is pull down on the blinds or shades to close them, or push them up to open them. These window treatments eliminates the cord altogether, making them safe for any child to be around.
Motorized operating systems such as the Hunter Douglas PowerView system are completely hands free and can be found at dealers like Horizon Window Fashions. These motorized shutters don’t come with a cord attached because the cord isn’t necessary for controlling your window coverings. Instead of using a cord to control your Hunter Douglas window coverings, the PowerView system allows motorized shutters to move independently based on a schedule you set for them, making them perfectly safe for your children.
There are many tools available that can help educate and inform consumers of proper window covering safety methods. One of the best resources to use is the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) website. There, they have tips for childproofing your home, as well as articles, blogs and extra resources to help you keep your little ones safe from cord strangulation.

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?

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.

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.

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.
