The Softer Side of Window Fashions
Everyone has a different view of what the “best” window treatments are, usually due to personal preference. Some people like fancy; some like simple. Some people like the hard treatments like shutters of blinds. And others like the softer treatments that offset the sharp angles and hard features that appear in many rooms. If you’re interested in looking at Soft Window Treatments, you have several to choose from. At Ross Howard Designs here in Dallas, we’ll be happy to help you determine if they’ll be right for your needs. Read on to learn more!
Honeycomb (or Cellular) Shades
Honeycomb shades are very popular because they’re energy-efficient, stylish, and versatile. In the Hunter Douglas family, you can choose from two lines of honeycomb shades: Duette® and Applause®. Duette® a large selection of pleat sizes, opacities, textures, and colors and can be used in odd-size windows and specialty shapes. Applause® offers double-cell construction, which makes it even more insulating. Streamlined and efficient, Applause might be the line for you.

You can choose from hundreds of fabric options, so you’re bound to find something that will fit you’re your décor. One great option is the Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades, which offers beautiful light diffusion and energy-efficient cellular construction (like honeycomb shades) that provides insulation at the window.
