When it comes to custom window treatments, great design is about more than aesthetics; it’s about how the space feels and functions every day. Each room in a home has its own needs for light control, privacy, and comfort. At Seattle Blinds, we help homeowners throughout the Puget Sound area find window coverings that strike the perfect balance between style and performance.
Below are our favorite Hunter Douglas window treatments for every room, chosen based on what Seattle homeowners love most.
Here’s a quick look at our top picks for the best custom window treatments for each space:
Master Bedroom: Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Shades
Master Bathroom: Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters
Kids’ Rooms: Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades
Nursery: Duette® Honeycomb Shades (room-darkening) & Vignette® Roman Shades
Kitchen: Designer Roller Shades (performance fabric, Top-Down/Bottom-Up option)
Dining Room: Provenance® Woven Wood Shades or Pirouette® Shades
Living Room: Duette® Honeycomb Shades or Luminette® Privacy Sheers
Cinema Room: Duette® LightLock™ Shades or Designer Screen Shades
The master bedroom is a place for rest and retreat, which makes light control and privacy top priorities.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Shades remain a favorite for their ability to softly filter daylight while maintaining a serene atmosphere. Their floating fabric vanes allow for customizable light diffusion, ideal for Seattle’s long summer days. Add a room-darkening liner or layer with elegant drapery panels for a refined, cozy look.
We often recommend PowerView® Automation for added comfort and routine. With automation, shades can open gradually in the morning to natural light and close at bedtime...all without lifting a finger.
Bathrooms require privacy, resilience, and style in equal measure. Moisture and humidity can quickly damage ordinary window coverings, so material choice matters.
Our go-to recommendation is Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. Made from UV-resistant materials, they won’t warp, peel, or discolor, even with daily exposure to steam. They bring a timeless, architectural feel to both traditional and modern bathrooms.
For homeowners seeking a sleeker or softer look, Designer Roller Shades in moisture-resistant fabrics offer durability and simple elegance perfect for Seattle’s mix of contemporary and craftsman-style homes.
Children’s spaces call for window treatments that are safe, durable, and easy to use.
We love Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades for their blend of performance and practicality. They combine the energy efficiency of a cellular shade with the smooth, clean profile of a roller shade ideal for comfort year-round. Parents appreciate how they reduce noise and help regulate temperature, especially in upstairs bedrooms.
Safety is always a focus. We recommend cordless or motorized lift systems to eliminate dangling cords and ensure a clean, child-friendly design.
For nurseries, light control and a soothing aesthetic are key. A dark, peaceful room can make all the difference for naps and bedtime routines.
Our top recommendation is Duette® Honeycomb Shades with a room-darkening fabric. Their insulating design helps maintain a consistent temperature and muffles outside noise, making them perfect for Seattle’s early sunrises and occasional street noise.
For parents who prefer a softer visual style, Vignette® Roman Shades in subtle fabrics or calming colors create a warm, gentle look. Many new parents also choose PowerView® Automation, which allows adjustments through a remote or smartphone without disturbing a sleeping baby.
The kitchen is one of the hardest-working rooms in the home and one of the most exposed to heat, light, and moisture.
Designer Roller Shades are our go-to solution for this space. Available in performance fabrics, they’re easy to clean and resistant to humidity. For windows above the sink or countertop, Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation provides privacy from the street while keeping natural light flowing in.
Motorization is also popular in kitchens. With PowerView® Automation, shades can be raised or lowered hands-free—ideal for when you’re cooking, cleaning, or entertaining.
Dining spaces benefit from window treatments that create ambiance while adding texture and style.
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are a Seattle favorite for their organic appeal. Made from natural woods, grasses, and reeds, they bring warmth to both casual and formal settings. When paired with a liner, they offer just the right amount of light diffusion for evening dinners or weekend brunches.
For homeowners who prefer a more modern look, Pirouette® Shades deliver adjustable light control with a sculptural feel—perfect for showcasing a view while maintaining comfort.
Living rooms are gathering spaces, so flexibility is everything. We want our living spaces to be bright and open by day, private and comfortable at night.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades are a customer favorite for their exceptional insulation and energy efficiency. They help maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduce glare on sunny days while preserving natural light.
For large sliding doors or expansive windows, Luminette® Privacy Sheers offer a luxurious, soft-drapery appearance with vertical vanes that rotate for precise light control—an elegant solution for open-concept living areas.
Home theaters or media rooms require total light control for the best viewing experience.
Duette® LightLock™ Shades use side-channel technology to block nearly all incoming light, creating a true blackout environment. Many of our customers are surprised by how much this improves picture quality and comfort.
For a more contemporary setup, Designer Screen Shades provide UV protection and glare reduction without complete darkness—great for multi-purpose rooms. Pair either option with PowerView® Automation to activate a “movie mode” at the touch of a button.
Every Seattle home has its own character—from mid-century modern bungalows to high-rise condos overlooking Puget Sound. The right window treatments enhance not just the look, but the experience of living in each space.
Whether updating a single room or reimagining your entire home, Seattle Blinds offers custom Hunter Douglas window coverings designed for how you live—combining beauty, energy efficiency, and effortless control.
