There’s a moment every November when you feel it—the first truly chilly night of the season. You pull on a sweater, make a cup of tea, and maybe notice that certain rooms in your home just don’t hold heat the way you wish they would. If you live in Hudson County, with all its beautiful old brownstones and loft-style apartments, you probably know that familiar draft by the window all too well.
The good news? You can fix it without sacrificing light or style. At Shade Place by Stephan, we help homeowners across Hoboken, Jersey City, and surrounding areas stay cozy through the winter months with Hunter Douglas window treatments that are both beautiful and brilliantly energy-efficient.
The Secret to a Warmer Home: Insulating Window Treatments
Windows are one of the biggest culprits for heat loss in a home—especially during those gusty Hudson County winters. But with the right coverings, you can transform them from energy drains into design assets.
Enter the Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades, an innovative favorite that’s both stylish and functional. The honeycomb structure creates air pockets that trap warmth inside, forming a natural layer of insulation. The result? A cozier home, a lower heating bill, and a more comfortable winter all around.
And because Duette® shades come in a range of opacities, from light-filtering to full blackout, you can enjoy soft daylight during the day and total privacy at night—all while keeping out the chill.
The Light You Love, Without the Draft
Many homeowners in Hoboken hesitate to cover their windows because they love their natural light. We get it—the views of the skyline, the golden afternoon glow, the city lights at night. That’s why we often pair Duette® Honeycomb Shades with Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings or Design Studio™ drapery panels to create a layered look that maintains the brightness while boosting insulation.
Think of it as dressing your windows in a cashmere sweater instead of a thin T-shirt—same light, more warmth.
Smart Comfort, Made Simple
Want to take it up a notch? Add PowerView® Automation. With just a few taps on your phone, you can schedule your shades to close as the temperature drops in the evening and reopen with the sunrise. Not only does this keep your home warmer when it matters most, but it also helps you save energy without even thinking about it.
It’s the perfect upgrade for homeowners in Hudson County, where temperatures fluctuate dramatically through late fall and early winter.
Style That’s as Warm as It Feels
Let’s be clear: functional doesn’t mean boring. Hunter Douglas shades come in dozens of colors, patterns, and textures that blend seamlessly into your décor. Whether your Hoboken apartment has sleek modern lines or your Jersey City home leans traditional, there’s a style that matches your aesthetic—and makes your space look intentionally designed, not just insulated.
At Shade Place by Stephan, we help you choose materials and fabrics that reflect both your personality and your neighborhood’s charm.
Make This Winter Effortlessly Warm
Winter comfort starts at the window. With energy-efficient Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades and layered window designs from Shade Place by Stephan, your home will feel warmer, look cozier, and stay efficient all season long.
