Window Treatments
Made for Michigan light
From Duette® honeycomb shades that hold warmth through January to Silhouette® sheers that soften hard afternoon sun, we carry the full Hunter Douglas line — with full-size working displays in our showroom, so you can operate them before you decide.
Blinds are easy to buy badly. A photo online can’t tell you how a shade filters afternoon sun, how quietly it rises, or how it looks against your trim. That’s why we keep full-size working displays of the Hunter Douglas line in our Ann Arbor showroom — Michigan’s largest — so you can raise, lower, and tilt them yourself before you decide.
Our designers don’t work on commission, so the advice you get is about your rooms, not our margins. Once the scope is set, a designer brings your finalists to the free in-home consultation and measure, which helps when you’re matching fabric to paint you already own. And because Michigan winters are not gentle, we’ll talk honestly about which shades actually insulate and which just look like they do.
The Hunter Douglas line, in full
Duette® honeycomb shades are the workhorses here. Their cellular design traps a layer of air right at the glass, which matters a great deal in a state where January means business. Silhouette® shadings do something different: soft fabric vanes float between sheer layers, diffusing hard light into something you can actually read by.
Beyond those two, we carry the full range — roller and solar shades, woven woods, romans, wood blinds, and verticals, plus PowerView® automation if you want shades that move on their own. Working displays run on our showroom floor, so you can see how each one operates before you order.
Measured, installed, guaranteed
Custom window treatments only work if the measurements do. We measure every window in person — inside-mount depth, out-of-square frames, all of it — and our installers hang everything level and true. The installation carries a lifetime warranty: if a bracket loosens or a shade slips out of alignment years from now, we come back and make it right.
Our Best Price Promise covers the rest. The showroom, the design help, and the professional installation don’t add a premium over buying the same Hunter Douglas product somewhere else.
Old houses, odd windows
Ann Arbor and Plymouth are full of houses that predate standard window sizes: 1920s bungalows with out-of-square frames, arched transoms, glass sitting inches from a radiator. This is where measuring by hand earns its keep. Every treatment is built to the window you actually have, not the window a catalog assumes — and after more than seventy years, we’ve met most of the surprises.

FAQ
Questions, answered
It depends on window size, fabric, and options like PowerView® automation — a simple roller shade costs far less than a motorized Silhouette®. We price your actual windows rather than quoting a vague range, and our Best Price Promise applies either way. Stop by either showroom with your window count and rough sizes, and we’ll put a real number on it.
