When choosing the right window dressing for your home or office, Hunter Douglas provides the following suggestions:

• Consider Your Space
  When we talk about space we mean the space of a room. Whether you're outfitting every room in a new home with window coverings or just a single window, our advice is to consider your options within the context of a single room. That's because a room-more than the window itself-is really the frame for the window covering. The room's dimensions, colors, its exposure to natural lighting, and, of course, what you use it for, all impact the type of covering that works best in the space.

  Access the Hunter Douglas Photo Gallery for information about how different spaces demand different window treatments, as well as for images showing a range of Hunter Douglas window fashions in these spaces. Also, take a moment to acquaint yourself with practical considerations with regard to color, room dimensions and natural lighting by selecting the links below.

• Consider Your Style
  Style is elusive. Fashions change. Your likes and dislikes change. Even the language used to define style is unreliably subjective (what's contemporary to some may be high-tech, industrial or post-modern to others). To help you define, refine, confirm or otherwise illuminate your style-as well as to ensure that we're all using the same language-we've assembled some popular favorites here.
  

• Consider Your Needs
  Whereas style is about form, need is about function. Whereas style is right brain (subjective and intuitive), need is left brain (objective and logical). Need is what most people think of first when they consider a window fashion. Does it provide privacy? Will it prevent heat from escaping during the cold months and retain cool air during the warm ones? What degree of light control does it offer?
