No matter your window size or shape, Hunter Douglas blinds are a first choice for many homeowners when picking out custom window treatments for their home. Horizontal blinds and vertical blinds are both functional, stylish, and allow total control over light and privacy with a quick tilt of the slats.

However, not all blinds are created equal, and what works beautifully in your living room might not be the best fit for the kitchen. Choosing the right blinds for each space takes a little strategy, and luckily, our team here at Accent Window Fashions in Elkhorn, NE, is here to explain how to choose different blinds for various rooms in your home.

Living Room Blinds That Add a Cozy Touch

You relax, gather, and unwind in your living room, so the right blinds should add comfort and character. For this space, we recommend Parkland® Wood Blinds. Made from real basswood or poplar hardwood, these blinds are a perfect choice since they bring warmth, texture, and timeless charm to any decor. Their rich wood grain adds a natural coziness that helps create a more inviting living room, whether you’re hosting guests or curling up by yourself with a good book.

Kitchen Blinds Must Be Durable and Easy to Clean

Kitchens see it all—heat, steam, spills—so its window treatments blinds need to keep up in this active space. Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are a smart pick. Made of a faux wood composite and giving you the look of real wood, they feature added durability to withstand moisture and stains. They wipe clean in seconds and won't warp or fade. Plus, the painted finishes of these faux wood blinds look excellent in both modern and traditional kitchens.

Front Door Blinds to Set the Tone

In your foyer, mudroom, or entryway, if you have a glass door or sidelight, then blinds can add privacy to your home and are a design element that helps to set the tone for your entire home. You'll want a solution that provides privacy where it matters most—right at the front of your house—while still letting in enough natural light to keep the entryway welcoming. If your front door has sidelights, coordinate them with your front door blinds for a well-balanced appearance. We recommend Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds. Their wide, vertical fabric panels offer the convenient stacking feature of blinds in a vertical orientation to divide the space.

Bedroom Blinds Should Provide Peaceful Ambiance

Your bedroom should feel like a peaceful retreat, and the right blinds help create that atmosphere. For bedrooms, opt for blinds with bigger slats to better block out streetlights and early morning sun so you can sleep undisturbed. The larger slats overlap more when tilted closed, reducing light gaps and creating a darker, more restful space.

When to Choose Powerview® Automation

Every Hunter Douglas blind is custom fitted to your windows, meaning no matter the size, shape, or dimension of your windows, they'll fit like a glove. But what about those hard-to-reach windows—like towering two-story blinds, skylights, or high transoms? That's where PowerView® Automation steps in and steps up. Rather than climb a ladder to get a little privacy, you'll adjust them with a tap of the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app or with a voice command when you pair the PowerView® Gateway with your smart home assistant. Without a doubt, automatic window blinds are a smart choice for any and every room.
