Our decorating staff was contacted to supply the window coverings for a home in Deep Cove in North Saanich, just north of Victoria BC. The previous owner, who designed and engineered boats, custom built this home to reflect his passion for boat design. The house is situated on a beautiful treed lot, so retaining the view was important to the homeowner, but nearby houses meant privacy was also a concern.
Hunter Douglas Nantucket Shades were used downstairs in the Kitchen, Living Room, and Dining Room. The 3″ fabric vanes on these Nantucket Shades are the perfect size for these larger windows and allow complete control over the lighting, diffusing harsh sunlight and spreading it evenly throughout the room. These shades will also protect the furniture and flooring from harmful UV rays.
Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Shades were selected for use in the Master Bedroom, Master Bath, and Hallway Door.
The honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design of the Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Shades offers energy savings in both the winter and summer. UltraGlide was selected as the operating system. This system has a retractable cord, so you can raise and lower the shades, then hide the cord. The home owner chose the semi-sheer option, allowing filtered light through but eliminating the view for more privacy. The high energy rating of these window treatments will reduce energy consumption, saving on heating and cooling costs.
