As of the 20th of March, spring has officially sprung. After the ruthless winter we’ve experienced this year, Canadians are hotly anticipating the change of seasons. Thanks to daylight saving time, we can expect longer days, but, more importantly, we can also look forward to warmer temperatures. With warmer temperatures, flowering plants are beginning to bloom in place of melting snow banks. It’s why so many of us consider spring the season of renewal and rebirth. What happens outside can be infectious, as many of us turn to our own homes to transform our living spaces, refreshing our interior design to match the changing season. For those who want a daring change, the addition of new window coverings can really update your space.
After the winter months kept us hostage, the spring sunshine can be an uplifting change. New window coverings that let in as much of the invigorating light can do wonders for a dark space. Hunter Douglas Shades are beautiful window coverings that offer amazing lighting options. For maximum amount of sunlight, their Pirouette Window Shading is an excellent choice. It has a unique design that allows as much natural light into your space as possible. Its patented Invisi-Lift system lets the soft fabric folds to float effortlessly. When open, light streams through the horizontal fabric veins, offering full visibility of your property. When closed, the veins contract to create an impenetrable sheet of fabric. With a Pirouette Window Shading in your room, you can leave them open during the day to let the soft rays of sun shine through, brightening your space. Meanwhile, at night, you can have them closed to maintain your privacy.
For those rooms that have large windows or glass doors, Hunter Douglas Shades’ Luminette sheers are a perfect fit. Similar to its Pirouette cousin, Luminette sheers have soft fabric veins that are attached to sheer facings. When engaged, the vertical veins can be rotated to let light stream through its fabric. They can also be rotated to lie flat, providing the utmost privacy from the outdoors.
If the advent of spring has already got you thinking about summer, you might want to consider installing Hunter Douglas Shades’ Honeycomb shades. Their unique cell construction offers the best energy efficiency in the industry, so you can regulate the heat of the summer sun and lower your air conditioning settings. Available in sheer materials, you won’t have to sacrifice brightness for efficiency, as sun filters through its lighter fabrics easily.
In fact, all of the Hunter Douglas Shades series come in a fantastic range of colours that suit the changing season. The bright, fresh colours that speak of the restorative powers of spring can make any space look new again. Shades and sheers in soft pastels look great no matter what room you’re redecorating. Yellow – a colour meant to signify happiness, confidence, and hope – is especially fitting for spring, as it mimics the soft lighting of the sun perfectly. It’s also sheer enough for Honeycomb shades to allow the sunlight to diffuse throughout your space.
