Matching Vertical and Horizontal Treatments
At Altra Home Décor here in Phoenix, many of our customers ask for solutions to matching horizontally oriented treatments with vertically oriented treatments. Luckily, Hunter Douglas, the leader in window treatment innovations, has made it easy for all of us. If you have a room that requires both horizontal and vertical treatments, have no fear—we’ve got the solution for you.
The Hunter Douglas Whole House Solution™
When it comes to selecting window treatments for a room that requires both vertical and horizontal blind, it can be confusing. However, with The Whole House Solution™ from Hunter Douglas, you’ll find vertical treatments that coordinate with their horizontal counterparts. Basically, Hunter Douglas has designed this program to take the guesswork out of selecting the products for your windows. Keep in mind, with The Whole House Solution™, the products do not “match,” but they do coordinate.
Other Ways to Match Horizontal and Vertical Window Treatments
Several Hunter Douglas product lines offer both horizontal and vertical applications in the same fabric, which makes for a more exact match. This includes Duette® and Applause® honeycomb shades that match with the vertical Vertiglide™. The Vignette® Modern Roman Shades match with the Traversed™ with Vertiglide system. And Provenance® Woven Wood Shades can be made into Vertical Drapery. There are also products that coordinate well, such as the vertical Luminette® Privacy Sheers, which balance with Silhouette® Window Shadings and Pirouette® Window Shadings. Also, the horizontal Designer Roller Shades and Designer Screen Shades share the same fabric as the vertical Skyline® Gliding Window Panels.
Things to Be Aware
With vertical products, the textures and lines may differ from their horizontal applications. Also, the outside light will filter into the room differently if the fabric is turned for a vertical window or sliding glass door. However, shutters offer applications that are perfect for both vertical and horizontal openings. They also coordinate with the Hunter Douglas wood and alternative wood blinds.
