How to Choose the Best Cellular Shade
A cellular shade is just a cellular shade, right? Well, not exactly. Today, there are several options under the category of cellular shades, and some are better than others. Deciding which option is best for your home can feel overwhelming, with all of the different kinds available! We are here to take the stress away by discussing how you can choose the best cellular shades, with options from Hunter Douglas, for your home with our guide below!
Step 1: Consider Your Window
The first step to choosing the best cellular shades for your home is to look at your windows. If your windows are taller than they are wide, you must look for horizontal cellular shades. If your windows are wider than tall (often seen with sliding glass doors), you will need vertical cellular shades; if you have a uniquely shaped window, it's not a problem! Hunter Douglas cellular shades can be custom-cut to fit a variety of window shapes, including arches, angles, trapezoids, hexagons, circles, ovals, bay windows, corner windows, cut-outs, skylights, and sidelights.
Step 2: Weigh Your Energy Efficiency Needs
Different windows in our home will result in fluctuating heat or cold. For example, your bedroom might become sweltering in the summer and freezing in the winter, but your living room might not experience an intense fluctuation at all. That is why the next step to choosing the best cellular shades for your home is weighing your energy efficiency needs.
If you want your home to feel warm in the winter and cool in the summer, the standard construction of a Duette® Cellular Shades from Hunter Douglas will do the trick. For rooms with extreme temperature fluctuation, choosing the honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb style is your best option. You can select from various opacities for even more light and temperature control.
Step 3: Find Your Aesthetic
Picking the perfect fabrics is an exciting part of choosing the best cellular shades for your home!
With over 150 fabric and color choices, Duette® Cellular Shades offers a range of both neutral and bold fabric choices that you can choose from if you favor a classic cellular shade style.
If you desire the energy efficiency of a cellular shade plus the simplistic style of a roller shade, Sonnette® Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas offers over 50 fabrics and colors to peruse.
Which option is best for you? Our team can help you dive deeper into what each collection offers and allow you to see and feel the fabrics yourself in our showroom so you can pick the best cellular shades for your home.
