When to Choose Vertical Blinds
If you are considering updating your home, we are so excited for you! This is such a great decision because when you feel good at home, you feel good overall. Your decorations in your home should represent your personal style, and every detail matters, including window treatments. Oftentimes, windows can be overlooked. However, these should be a priority on everyone’s list because of the tremendous benefits that window coverings can provide. At Unusual Designs, we are here to help you through your entire window decorating journey. We have trained professionals who are ready to help you transform your rooms, and we can’t wait to help you do so. One of our favorite ways to cover windows is with vertical blinds, but not everyone understands when it is best to use them.
For Large Windows with A View
Many homes feature large windows that have spectacular views. Sometimes, an entire wall can be made of glass for a clear view of the outdoors or the city you live in! This is particularly why our Hunter Douglas Skyline® Gliding Window Panels are such a great addition to your home. They are designed to give you the privacy you need without compromising the beautiful views that you have outside your window.
For Sound Control
Many of us live in busy places, which means the outside sounds can get rather loud. With Hunter Douglas Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds, the fabrics help absorb the sounds so your rooms can stay more calm and serene. These luxury vertical blinds are gorgeous and extremely useful, as they minimize the intensity of the noise outside. Plus, these blinds help improve your room’s acoustics, so you can feel at peace in your home.
For Ultimate Customizable Options
If customization is your priority, then you will love what we have in store for you. Our Hunter Douglas Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds are completely customizable with a large selection of colors and finishes. You can choose to have your blinds made of fabric, vinyl, or aluminum. As far as the finishes go, choose from smooth metal to geometric patterns. The options are limitless!
For A Minimalistic Look
We know that the minimalist look is in style, which is why we carry one of the most elegant vertical blinds on the market - Hunter Douglas Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds. Many of us have artwork or furniture that is already the main piece of our interior decor, and we don’t want another bold addition to steal the spotlight, which is why these vertical blinds are the perfect complement to your existing designs without being overbearing.
