Finding the Best Autumn Shades From Hunter Douglas

Autumn shades can carry the warmth and colors of the season and add a decorative touch that you can enhance for the holidays throughout this time of year.

Our top recommendations for shades that can enhance your autumn window decor include:

  • Woven Wood Shades: Hunter Douglas artisans handcraft these shades from various woods, grasses, and plants to create a warm, relaxing, and elegant aesthetic. You can choose from numerous fabrics and add decorative trims.
  • Roman Shades: These shades use layers of fabric to add warmth, energy efficiency, and sound absorption while providing structure. You can select a straight, tailored fit or a draping fit reminiscent of waterfalls.
  • Cellular Shades: These innovative Hunter Douglas shades use fabric pockets to trap air and insulate windows, improving temperature control, energy efficiency, and sound absorption while creating a clean, modern look.

Layering Autumn Drapes for a Cozy Atmosphere

No matter what type of window treatment you have, layering drapes on top creates a snug and peaceful atmosphere. Mixing textures adds depth and cultivates a more complex visual. One of our favorite autumn recommendations is layering drapery over woven wood shades. Layering improves light control and energy efficiency, and it can reduce drafts in your home.

For fall, consider seasonal colors and your interior design style with earthy tones, like deep browns, reds, and greens. Using neutrals, like whites and creams, forms a backdrop that lets other colors and textures stand out.

Autumn drapery fabrics like velvet, cotton, or wool should be thicker and heavier. The contrast between wood shutters, faux wood blinds, or woven shades, and the drapery materials makes your home look more finished, with all the warmth of autumn.

Choosing the Best Autumn Window Decor for Your Space

Once you have your windows properly covered and ready for fall, you can add other decorative items, either on or near the windowsill.

Here are a few ideas to help inspire the mood of the season:

  • Wreaths or garlands of leaves and pinecones.
  • Fake flickering candles, fairy lights, or lanterns.
  • Pumpkins and other gourds in various colors and sizes.
  • Faux spider webs for Halloween.
