Ever walked into your living room in the middle of August and instantly felt like you stepped into a greenhouse? The kind of heat that makes you reconsider even touching the leather couch? We’ve all been there—and trust me, it’s not just the weather’s fault. Your windows are letting in far more heat than you think.
That’s where Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades come in—designed to work smarter, not harder, when it comes to keeping your home comfortable. Their unique honeycomb construction traps air inside the cells, creating an insulating barrier between the hot summer air outside and your cool, conditioned air inside. The result? You get a noticeable temperature difference without having to keep your AC cranked all day.
And let’s be clear: these shades aren’t just about function. The Duette® line offers an incredible range of colors, textures, and opacities—so you can keep things breezy and bright or block out every ray of light for those weekend movie marathons. Want something light-filtering in the kitchen but full blackout in the bedroom? Done. Hunter Douglas makes it easy to mix and match across your home while keeping a cohesive, stylish look.
Here’s another bonus: energy savings. It’s not just your comfort you’re protecting—it’s your wallet. By keeping the heat out, Duette® shades help reduce your cooling costs during peak summer months. That’s a win-win for you and the environment.
At Shade Place, we’ve installed these shades in everything from Hoboken condos to spacious suburban homes, and the feedback is always the same: “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” Whether you’re looking for a single-room upgrade or a whole-home refresh, our design experts can help you choose the perfect Duette® styles for your space.
So this summer, instead of sweating it out, invest in shades that do the heavy lifting for you. Your living room—and your energy bill—will thank you.
