Product Spotlight: Hunter Douglas Aria™ Soft Blinds
Until recently, homeowners could only find horizontal blinds with hard materials like wood, faux wood, vinyl, or aluminum. If you didn’t choose those styles because you wanted something softer, we have news: Hunter Douglas now has horizontal fabric blinds for windows.
That’s right, the brand’s Aria™ Soft Blinds are now available at Nest Expressions, offering a unique aesthetic and impressive versatility.
How Do Aria™ Soft Blinds Work?
Aria™ Soft Blinds balance softness with structure. Hunter Douglas manufactures the lightweight horizontal slats from luxurious, softly textured materials in 14 neutral fabric/color choices. As you’d expect, they look and function similarly to blinds, but you use a tilt bar instead of a wand to open, close, and adjust them.
These fabric blinds come in a wide range of sizes and look stunning on large windows. And you don’t even need to lift the blind to let in the sun; just tilt the vanes as needed. We can enhance Aria™ Soft Blinds with a light-dimming shade option for two opacities in one — you tilt the slats up for room darkening and down for a soft dimming effect.
Hunter Douglas customizes this new style for specialty-shaped windows, like bays and corners, as well as sliding glass patio doors and French doors. They offer Aria™ Soft Blinds with three control options: LiteRise®, EasyTilt, and PowerView® Automation (tilt only).
Why Should I Choose Aria™ Soft Blinds?
Besides the unique design, these fabric blinds offer these benefits:
- The adjustable slats let you fine-tune natural light levels throughout the day.
- You’ll have privacy protection without completely blocking sunlight.
- They fit a wide range of window shapes and sizes, from small frames to glass patio doors.
- Aria™ Soft Blinds have high-quality components for long-lasting performance, even in sunny or humid spaces.
And if you need extra room-darkening capability, add drapery to these fabric blinds for windows.
Pairing Aria™ Soft Blinds with Custom Drapery
While Aria™ Soft Blinds work beautifully on their own, pairing them with custom drapery means even more light control and privacy. That’s not all: These combinations add depth and texture to windows while improving insulation and sound absorption.
We can recommend light-filtering drapery panels to complement the look of Aria™ Soft Blinds, for a cozy, layered appearance. Need help getting better sleep or frustrated by glare? Room-darkening or blackout drapery fabrics in bedrooms and media rooms create sleep-worthy settings and improve screen views.
