Industrial look updated

Long a favorite of high-end designers, “industrial chic” is becoming a popular design trend in American homes.

Framing today’s larger windows in a loft look are Roman and roller shades made out of residential screen fabric.

Called Designer Screen Shades by Hunter Douglas, they are available in 97 different fabric and color choices in both Roman shade and window shade styles.

Nothing is more industrial than metal, and Hunter Douglas’ aluminum blinds offer a new, patent-pending design, Reveal with MagnaView, that updates the look of metal blinds. Tilted closed, they look like standard blinds. Tilted open, the slats nest together to create double the view-through compared to standard blinds.

For more information about Hunter Douglas window fashions, call 800-274-2985 or visit the manufacturer’s Web site, www.hunterdouglas.com.
