Excellent Design Guidance
Vanessa and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. I appreciated the quick home visit, the excellent design guidance on colours, explanation of blind options, considerations for my family’s needs, the ability to test everything out at the shop in Kits, and the quick, easy, and professionally finished install with Logan.
Vanessa saved me from a terrible experience with another blind business. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

Benefits of Luxury Blinds
Luxury blinds transform your windows. Here is what you get when you choose the best.
​
-
Soft, Modern Elegance: Collections like Silhouette and Luminette are soft and beautiful. They’re much closer to the look of custom drapery than a standard blind.
-
Fabrics to Match Your Interiors: There is so much more selection with luxury blinds, so you can customize them to suit your home.
-
Easy to Care For: Patented fabrics are dust- and dirt-resistant as well as easy to clean, so your blinds always look immaculate.
-
Timeless Style: Silhouette blinds have never gone out of style. Hunter Douglas’ iconic modern blinds don’t become easily dated, so they’ll still look sharp years from now.
-
Buy It Once: Good quality means you are not replacing your blinds every few years.
-
Warranty and After-Care: You get a limited lifetime warranty and a local team to call if something happens, so you don’t have to worry about figuring things out on your own.

Motorization and Automation: Put your blinds on a timer or connect them to your smart home so blind control becomes easy and seamless.
-
Cohesive, Whole-Home Solutions: There is a luxury option for every room and every window.
Where Can You Use Luxury Blinds?
Bedrooms
For room darkening, Duette and Applause honeycomb shades are our best options. Add motorization and your shades can lower at bedtime and lift to wake you in the morning.
Living Rooms & Patio Doors
Luminette Privacy Sheers are made for patio doors and wide windows. Pair them with matching Silhouette shades on the other windows, so the whole room ties together.
Kitchens & Dining Rooms
Vignette is our pick for kitchens. It’s the Hunter Douglas take on a Roman shade, so you get soft fabric folds with a clean, tidy look.
Bathrooms
California Shutters are a great choice for bathrooms as create privacy while offering light filtering and air flow. Duolite shades are beautiful in bathrooms. They combine two fabrics in one shade, so you get filtered light during the day and privacy at night.

Common Questions about Luxury Blinds
What are luxury blinds?
Luxury blinds don’t refer to one type of blind. It’s about quality. For us, it means choosing a premium brand like Hunter Douglas, where every type of blind comes with a wide range of fabrics. The top luxury collections are Silhouette, Pirouette, Vignette, Luminette and Duette. Many clients add motorization as well.
What are the best luxury blinds?
In the Hunter Douglas lineup of window coverings, there are the collections we call the “ettes”: Silhouette, Pirouette, Vignette, Luminette and Duette. These are the premium Hunter Douglas collections with all the bells and whistles. Each one has a beautiful book of fabrics to look through. They are in a totally different category from anything you’ll find at a big-box store.
Which brands of luxury blinds do you carry?
We carry Hunter Douglas. Fresh Design is the only Hunter Douglas showroom in Vancouver, so you can see every collection in person. We also make custom drapery with fabrics from JF Fabrics, Unique Fabrics, Alendel and JAB Germany.
What are the main downsides or pitfalls of luxury blinds?
The only downside is that luxury blinds cost more up front. But the real pitfall is going the other way and buying cheap blinds that you end up replacing all the time. If you want to buy once, quality is the better choice.
Can luxury blinds be motorized?
Yes. Motorization is what takes luxury blinds to the next level. You can set timers so your blinds open and close on their own. You can also connect them to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Home.
Are luxury blinds worth it?
Yes, if you want to buy once and enjoy your blinds for life, they’re worth it. Most of our clients want good quality and a good warranty. They also want to know someone will look after them if anything happens down the road.
Which blinds do interior designers use?
Clients ask us this all the time. Designers like Hunter Douglas for the fabric selection and the timeless look. We work with designers and builders regularly, so we can show you what they are choosing right now if you visit us in the showroom.
What makes Hunter Douglas blinds better than cheaper brands?
They have been around a long time, and it shows. Their fabrics are patented, so no one else has the same selection. They test their fabrics in the sun and design their blinds to last. That is why they can stand behind their warranty. Hunter Douglas also has exceptional lifting systems that are easy to operate and durable, so they won’t break down after just a few years of use.
Do you install luxury blinds in commercial spaces?
Yes. We do commercial blinds, working with luxury hotels, high-end restaurants and luxury retail stores. We also do the boutique gyms and studios that are opening up around Vancouver.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
Hunter Douglas blinds come with a limited lifetime warranty. It covers defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own the blinds. Motorization parts are covered for five years. If you have a problem, email us a photo, and we’ll take it from there.
