Book NowArchitectural shades from Hunter Douglas are available across a range of their most popular collections, including Silhouette, Luminette, roller shades, and honeycomb shades, all engineered to scale up to larger window dimensions without compromising aesthetics or operability. Specialty shapes like half-rounds, eyebrow windows, quarter circles, and triangles can be fitted with fixed or operational shade panels that complement the home's architecture rather than fighting it. For exceptionally tall windows, motorization is often the most practical operating solution, allowing you to raise and lower shades from a remote or smartphone without ladders or extended reach. The hardware, headrails, and mounting systems used in architectural applications are reinforced to handle the additional weight and span of oversized installations. Spokane Blinds has the expertise and tools to handle precise measuring and installation on complex architectural window projects throughout the Spokane Valley region.
Each Architectural shade pairs the sleekness of a roller shade with distinctive, fabric-covered battens. These shades provide a clean look with no cords or stacking fabric.
Hunter Douglas has devoted significant engineering resources to solving the unique challenges that large and unusually shaped windows present. Their PowerView motorization platform is especially valuable in architectural shade applications, where manual operation of very large or very high shades would otherwise be impractical or impossible. With PowerView, all shades in a room can be grouped and controlled simultaneously, making it easy to open or close an entire wall of oversized windows with a single tap on your smartphone. Scene programming allows different shade positions to be stored and activated for different times of day or activities. Hunter Douglas backs every architectural shade product with a comprehensive warranty, and Spokane Blinds provides the careful, experienced installation that complex window projects demand. Our team works methodically to ensure every shade hangs level, operates smoothly, and looks exactly as intended.
Book NowArchitectural shades have the power to transform dramatic windows from potential design liabilities into the most stunning features in a home. When a soaring two-story window or a sweeping curved arch is properly dressed with an architectural shade that complements its scale and shape, the result is breathtaking. The shade becomes part of the architecture itself, reinforcing the design intent of the space rather than interrupting it. Hunter Douglas offers architectural shade solutions in fabrics ranging from sheer and airy to room-darkening and opaque, so the light quality can be tailored to suit the room's function and mood. Spokane Blinds works closely with clients to understand their vision and the specific performance requirements for each architectural window, then sources and installs the right solution to achieve a result that truly impresses.
Large architectural windows are among the most significant sources of UV damage in any home. Their scale means more sunlight reaches more of your interior surfaces, accelerating the fading of flooring, upholstery, and furnishings nearest to the windows. Architectural shades are specifically designed to manage this challenge at scale, providing UV protection across the entire window opening without gaps or light leaks. Depending on the fabric selected, architectural shades can filter anywhere from a modest reduction in UV exposure to near-total blockage when fully deployed. For rooms with significant art collections, premium wood floors, or expensive upholstered furniture, investing in properly specified architectural shades is one of the most cost-effective ways to preserve the long-term condition and value of those furnishings. Spokane Blinds can advise on the most UV-protective fabric options for every architectural window in your home.
