Not everyone has a flair for interior design. Let’s be honest, it can be a challenge coordinating colors, fabrics, furniture, flooring, and so on. When it comes to selecting window treatments for a room that requires both vertical and horizontal blinds, it can be confusing. Today you have an easy and convenient way to make fashionable decorating choices, with The Whole House Solution™ from Hunter Douglas. This program coordinates a number of Hunter Douglas vertical window treatments with their horizontal counterparts. In fact, you can select fabrics that even share the same names and colors.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. Speak to a trained consultant at Bretz Interiors here in the metro Denver area if you are interested in getting started with the Whole House Solution.

Rooms with Mixed-Windows

Some rooms have windows that call for vertical treatments while also having windows that call for horizontal treatments. For example, a living room with a regular window and a sliding glass door. Luckily, Hunter Douglas has a selection that makes it easy to take care of both needs, with several product lines offering both horizontal and vertical applications.

  • Option One: The Duette® and Applause® honeycomb shades offer the same fabric in a vertical orientation called Vertiglide™.
  • Option Two: The Vignette® Modern Roman Shade offers the Traversed™ with Vertiglide system.
  • Option Three: For a more casual, natural vibe, consider the Provenance® Woven Wood Shades that could also be made into Vertical Drapery.

Keep in mind, with each of these products, the textures and lines of the vertical window coverings may differ from their horizontal applications. Also, the outside light will filter into your room differently if the fabric is turned for a vertical window or sliding glass door. However, offer applications that are perfect for both vertical and horizontal openings. They also coordinate with the Hunter Douglas wood and alternative wood blinds.

Coordination Options

We invite you to visit our showroom to see and operate other coordinating fabrics and options, including:

  1. The full-size vertical Luminette® Privacy Sheers that coordinate with Silhouette® Window Shadings and Pirouette® Window Shadings. Both of these horizontal products include sheer fabric similar to the sheer fabric used with the vertical Luminette.
  2. The horizontal Designer Roller Shades and Designer Screen Shades that share the same fabric as the vertical Skyline® Gliding Window Panels.

Watching your budget, come and check out the Modern Precious Metals® that coordinate with Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds.
