3 Reasons to Choose Custom Shades
If you’re considering new window treatments, the first decision you must make is where to get them. Big box stores seem convenient, but cookie-cutter window treatments won’t always cut it: you risk ending up with blinds that won’t hang right and roller shades that won’t stay down.

Meanwhile, at Accent Window Fashions, we offer homeowners a wide selection of custom window treatments from Hunter Douglas, measured and installed by our expert team to ensure a perfect fit for every window.
If it’s time for new window treatments, here are three reasons to think about custom shades from Accent Window Fashions:
1. You have a strong sense of design.
With store-bought shades, you have only a few colors to choose from before you have to opt for another style. With custom window treatments from Hunter Douglas, you don’t have to choose between style or color. Some of our Hunter Douglas window treatments have thousands of color and fabric choices.
- For example, the Carole Fabrics™ collection from Hunter Douglas features fabrics from top textile experts in the form of Roman shades, and drapes.
- We also offer custom roller shades in a variety of styles.
Our wide window treatment selection makes it easy to coordinate your window fashions throughout your home. Make Hunter Douglas window treatments a Whole Home Solution™ when you match your vertical and horizontal window treatments with shades, shutters, and blinds from our selection of choices.
2. You have specific functionality needs.
- If you need insulation… Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades trap excess the outdoor air before it reaches your interiors and keeps inside air in and outside air out. These shades are great for energy efficiency and providing homeowners with light- and sound-blocking capabilities as well.
- If you need variable light control… Choose a shade with the Duolite® feature. This pairs your shades with an additional room darkening or light flitering liner for more control options. If your bedroom faces the street or the neighbors, block out outside noise and eyes with Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and an independent liner.
- If you’d like to control your shades with the push of a button… PowerView® Automation motorizes your blinds, shades, and even shutters and drapery without the need for dangling cords. Just pair it with the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app on your smartphone or tablet, or with your smart home device.
If you want to achieve a particular goal with your window treatments, you need a custom product. Hunter Douglas custom shades are made with your individual needs in mind, including room-darkening and light-enhancing fabrics, specialty shapes and door coverings, and energy-efficient and family-safe designs.
3. You want to add value to your home.
Custom window treatments are engineered and designed for a lifetime of satisfaction. Window treatments from a big box store are prone to faulty parts and cheap materials that ultimately aren’t made to last. Hunter Douglas offers custom window treatments made of premium materials.
- If you like the look of authentic hardwood and professional, thoughtful craftsmanship—try Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters. Made with Truemill® dovetail construction, you can ensure the lasting quality of these shutters.
Dress your windows the way they deserve with custom window treatments that offer a unique, long-lasting value to your interiors and, most importantly, make a house into the home you love.
