What’s your favorite fabric?

“I love Satin Metallic in the color Lightning. This fabric offers a soft, elegant sheen that adds warmth and sophistication to the window shadings. The detail of the satin weave mixed with the gray tone provides a luxurious combination to compliment any design.”

 

What colors will we see in this year’s style trends?

style trends Chicago“Neutrals will still be very strong this year because they provide a timeless design that’s sleek and elegant. Although white and ivory are extremely popular, you will definitely see the color gray standing strong as well. From cool blue/gray to warm undertones, the color palette is broad–offering just the right pick for any project. In fact, Hunter Douglas is introducing Urban Gray as a NewStyle shutter color option this year because gray is one of the most sought-after style trends in home design.”

 

What’s your favorite new design element?

“I am definitely excited about the standard UltraGlide lift system. This single retractable cord takes away the fuss of multiple cords and provides a clean look that also ensures child and pet safety.”

 

What are you excited to show your clients?
