Selecting the Right Fabric

At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we carry the Hunter Douglas window treatment line—which offers both hard treatments (like shutters and blinds) and soft treatments (like shades and drapery). And for all of those products, there are nearly limitless styles and options and combinations. Which means that the search for the right window fashion can be daunting. But don’t worry! We’re here to guide you every step of the way, to help ensure that you find the right product with the right look and are happy with your purchase for years to come. If you’ve settled on fabric treatments but are unsure of how to choose your fabric, read on for some thoughts, and be sure to speak with one of our consultants for advice on your particular situation. 

The Fabric Selection From Hunter Douglas

Hunter Douglas offers more than 4,000 fabrics, textures, colors, and styles, so you can rest assured that you’ll be able to find the right look and feel for your room and home. From classic fabrics like linen weaves and antique-satin looks to blackout fabrics, we carry it all and can help you decide on the right solution. If your window gets direct sunlight (like a south- or west-facing one in particular), we can help you choose fabrics that will help protect against the sun’s rays and give you extra insulation. If you want a neutral look at the window so you can highlight the rest of your room, we can find the right shade of dove gray, mustard, camel, or coconut that will give you that blend in your space. You can choose exotic prints, embossed looks, nature-inspired patterns, or a rustic look. Or choose sheer fabrics, crushed or crinkled fabrics, and even highly fire-retardant options. No matter your goals, we can help you reach them.   

Selecting Blinds or Shades  

Like art at the window, the right covering will both reflect and enhance your aesthetics. Hunter Douglas offers a variety of products that will transform natural light. Choose from sensational products like these:

• Silhouette® Window Shadings, which have adjustable fabric vanes that appear to be floating between two sheer fabric panels that diffuse harsh sunlight. Tilt the vanes to achieve your desired level of light and privacy.
• Duette® Honeycomb Shades include beautiful new textures and hues and offer superior energy efficiency. Plus, they’re designed with a honeycomb-shaped cell that traps air and provides an extra layer of insulation at the window.
• Aria™ Soft Blinds, a “first-of-its-kind design” from Hunter Douglas, have slats like a shutter but are soft like a shade. This product is made from lightweight, translucent fabric that can transform the way natural light enters the room, making it radiant, soft, and gentle.
• Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, which have beautiful teardrop-shaped folds and no exposed rear cords. This great covering allows your windows to remain uncluttered and safer for children and pets.
• Provenance® Woven Woods, which is made from hand-woven light-filtering reeds, grasses, and woods, make a captivating design statement in any room.
