Diversifying Your Look

Why limit yourself to one design when you can have it all?!

Layering multiple window treatments allows for an array of styles and functions.

Adding Side Panels to Roman Shade treatments can create the illusion of a larger window. By covering the open wall between the individual treatments, the panels become part of one single treatment. This can be a wonderful option for a wall with multiple windows frames.

The contrast of delicate sheers with our popular Natural Woven Wood creates an earthy, flowing feel in your space. Choosing to add full sheer drapes gives you two entirely different treatment styles, each unique and beautiful in their own way. Compliment the look with a valence or cornice box to hide the hardware or leave it bare and minimalistic like above.

When it comes to dressing up Shutters, the options are endless. Add an elegant drapery to embrace the edges of the frame. Simply line the upper border with a stylish cornice box or dynamic valence. Choose patterned side panels or full drapes to tie the room together and bring out a pop of color. The practical appeal of shutters doesn't have to remain a blank canvas- make a statement!

Shades with dual fold controls, which allow the shade to dominantly rise and/or lower, allow for many different looks and functions. Allow full light in or filter with the weave.

Horizons Natural Shades are hand crafted from renewable resources like:

  • bamboo
  • sustainable wood
  • grasses & reeds

Bamboo is possibly the most renewable resource in the world. Some varieties can grow up to an incredible 4-1/2 feet a day. When it is cut, bamboo begins a new cycle of growth immediately, without any need for re-planting.

Additional options like decorative trim can add softness to the bold feel of woven woods. There are many shades to choose from, as well as the option to inlay the trim into the weave itself, creating a sleeker look, all while tying in the colors of your room.

Plantation Shutters on Kauai

Plantation Shutters

Whether you are living mauka or makai, a favorite and practical choice for window treatments is the Plantation Shutter. Shutters are excellent insulators & heat reflectors, which can aid in lowering the island's high energy costs. There are several different styles of shutters and materials from which they are manufactured. Among these are wood and composite. Wood shutters are a classic favorite that stand the test of time. They are ideal for vast window openings in the bypass application pictured above. Composite shutters are waterproof, self-extinguishing, termite-proof and will not rot, rust or warp.
