3 Tips for Elevating Your Home

When you think of elevated, elegant homes, images of sprawling yards, marble floors, top-of-the-line appliances, and bedding with thread counts by the thousands might come to mind. Sure, these are elegant elements—but they’re not required when elevating your home. A few subtle additions or changes can make a huge impact.

If you want to give your home a fresh summer facelift without spending an arm and a leg on gold-flecked wall paint, then you are in the right place. We are excited to help inspire your next home project with our three tips for elevating your home.

Tip 1: Upgrade Your Window Treatments

A sleek window treatment is one of the most impactful ways to elevate your home. No matter your style, a tailored window treatment can tie a room together while providing soft sunlight, ample views, and/or room darkening. That is why adding Hunter Douglas window treatments to your home is on our list of three tips for elevating your home.

If you desire a traditional, warm look, then Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters are an excellent option. Timeless and available in various custom stains, colors, and cuts, these shutters elevate your home and can increase your home’s value. If you want to increase your home’s curb appeal to boot, consider the extra-durable, moisture-resistant Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters from Hunter Douglas that can be placed on the outside of your house.

Tip 2: Add Automation

Next up on our list of three tips for elevating your home is adding automation to your window treatments. While there is nothing wrong with manually operating your window treatments, automating them adds a touch of elegance to your home.

For example, you can enjoy a luxurious night in bed and schedule your bedroom shades close at a certain time every night. This allows for more time to relax and less time running around, closing your shades. Or, perhaps you were hosting friends and family over for dinner. You can use your voice to close your Hunter Douglas window treatments and watch as your guests take in this elegant, innovative system. Finally, if you have hard-to-reach windows, you can use the Pebble® Remote Control to adjust up to six window treatments in your home independently or together. This allows you to enjoy sun, shade, or privacy with just the tap of your finger.

Tip 3: Room-Darkening Shades

If you have noticed that trace amounts of light are disrupting your beauty sleep, or are causing glare during movie night, then room-darkening shades are here to help. Hunter Douglas offers several room-darkening shades that block out unwanted natural light from the moon or sun and artificial light from car headlamps, street lights, city lights, and more.

By adding room-darkening shades to your home’s bedrooms, you can unwind in complete darkness necessary to achieve REM sleep. This results in deeper rest and mornings where you feel ready to take on the day. In media rooms, this can create the perfect movie theater-like atmosphere.
