Spring into Window Fashion

With the winter season coming to an end, spring is showing glimpses of its warm
sunshine on our face and streaming rays through our windows. The air smells fresh,
yet crisp and we can feel a reset and refresh around the corner with new buds on the
trees and bulbs and native flowers starting to perk up and come alive again. This
sense of freshness seems to bring on a feeling of renewing some of our interior –
maybe setting out lighter color toss cushions, bringing out clear vases and small
succulents and replacing the thick soft blankets with lighter airy ones. If you are
considering new window coverings to refresh your space, here are some ideas of
what is trending for Spring 2024.

With the long Cochrane and Bragg Creek area winters, we long for the warmth that
the Spring season brings. Once March rolls in we feel like we have turned a corner
and are almost finished with the cold. We want to open up our homes and air them
out. We raise the blinds and let the rays of sunshine warm the space. At this
transitional point in the season, the cold temperatures are becoming less extreme,
while the hot summer wind is still weeks away. It is a good time to let the sunshine in
and not worry about the extreme temperatures leaking through our windows.
However, what about our furnishings and flooring? How can we manage our daylight
streams of sunshine and protect the harmful UV rays from damaging out interior?
Here are a few considerations for window coverings that you could consider for your
home to protect the harmful UV rays yet allowing a daylight glow shining on your face.

Hunter Douglas Pirouettes®

The Pirouette®, a proprietary Hunter Douglas product has soft unique fabric vanes
that allow you to play with the light. You can play with the light with the pirouettes
that add a three-dimensional affect to your shade – opening and closing them
partially or fully, you can alter the light in your home. When the pirouettes are closed
you can have your privacy assured and when the vanes are open you can protect your
furnishings from the harmful UV rays while allowing some view through to the
exterior. Hunter Douglas has also introduced the ClearView sheer to this collection
allowing superior view-through. With a vast selection of colors and textures in
luxurious and high-quality fabrics you will surely find one to suit your interior.

Hunter Douglas Silhouettes®

Hunter Douglas was the first manufacturer of the Silhouette®. Although there are
many look-a-likes now, the Silhouette® remains to be the most beautiful sheer shade
on the market today. With their unique S-shaped vanes that can adjust between two
layers of sheer they allow you to play with light in a magical way. When the shade is
fully lowered you can open the vanes by tilting them to your desired position for the
ultimate play of light while also shielding your interior from the damaging UV rays.
And, of course you can tilt them closed to provide you with privacy. The ClearView
sheer is also an option in this collection to provide you with amazing view-through
second to none in the industry. Another great option in the Silhouette® is the
Duolite® function for the ultimate in light control. The front sheer shade is the
Silhouette® and housed in the same cassette is an independent roller shade in a
room darkening fabric that lowers from the back. Add some Powerview® automation
for the ultimate in light control.

Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers

Luminettes® are drapery for your windows! The sheer fabric has rotating vertical
fabric vanes that allow you to have light control and privacy. These are perfect for the
Cochrane and Bragg Creek extra large windows and patio doors. They can expand
wall to wall with their large width and length allowances and create a beautiful
expanse of luxury and a play on light. They pair perfectly in select fabrics from the
Silhouette® and Pirouette® collection providing you with a Whole Home Solution.
And a big bonus is that the Luminette® offers excellent pricing and sizes in
Powerview® automation so you can control the light with the touch of a finger.

Spring Trends
This Spring look to warm light neutrals – think light woven woods and grasses, warm
toned luxury vinyl plank or Hardwoods and soft natural woven fabrics. In the window
covering world there are a few ways to introduce these light textures into your home
while also keeping a classic look that is not just on trend but also warm and inviting
for years to come.

Provenance® Woven Woods

Hunter Douglas offers a beautiful hand woven selection of natural Roman Shades.
They are custom made by hand with grasses, bamboos and decorative threads and
braiding. A light tan Woven Wood with provide a white on white interior a warm
ambience and a darker roman shade in tones of browns, blacks and greys will provide
a hit of drama. When fully raised the Provenance® Shades offer a dressed up valance
over your window and when it is fully lowered provides subdued privacy with
beautiful daylighting through the textures. The Shades can also be custom ordered to
have an attached liner to complement the natural fibres or you can opt for an
independent mini-honeycomb liner that allows you to have the natural texture of the
grasses shine through when privacy is not required. With superior operating systems
such as LiteRise®, Ultraglide and Powerview you can be assured that your shades will
be convenient to raise and lower as well as child and pet safe.

Designer Roller Shades

The roller shades of the old days bring back many memories of the old vinyl cracking
plastic springing off the tube. With the modern technology and beautiful fabrics,
roller shades are an increasingly popular option in many consumers’ homes. From
solids to textures and even fun patterns there is sure to be a fabric that showcases
your style. With the trends moving towards more natural and simplistic interiors, look
for a soft white linen weave or light neutral in a texture providing depth of color. If
your style is looking for more drama, bring it forward with some darker contrasting
weaves and patterns.

Layer with Drapery

Drapery is also becoming more popular with decorative side panels as well as fully
functioning drapery. Soft pleated folds of cottons or linens can dress up any window
and the pleats of our childhood such as the Triple Pinch-pleat and the Ripplefold are
very much on trend. With a vast array of fabrics to chose from you can display your
sense of style and design your own frame for your windows with drapery panels. You
can layer your blind or shade treatment with drapery and have white flowy linen
fabric gracing the sides. Or perhaps you want to add some elegance and flair with a
contrasting stripe or pattern. Add a streamlined utility rod that fades into the wall or
bring in some metallics or woods with a chucky rod and finial. The choices are
limitless and design possibilities abound with custom drapery for your Cochrane
home.

Sheer Ripplefold Drapery on Custom Channel Rods

The change of season brings in a reset of warmth and light. We have a fresh start as
the leaves and grasses come alive after sleeping for the cold winter season. We can
bring our interiors alive with fresh and airy fabrics, soft warm textures and warm
daylighting from our window coverings. Call your window covering specialist, Kirstin,
to see what opportunities are available for your home.
