Mixing Cellular and Vertical Cellular Shades: A Modern Approach to Window Treatments

Mixing Cellular and Vertical Cellular Shades: A Modern Approach to Window Treatments

Cellular Shades And Vertical Cellular Shades Mix

Have you seen horizontal Cellular Shades mixed with vertical Cellular Shades over large front room windows and master bedroom windows, including patio sliding doors?
If your answer is “nope “and you’d like to take a look at what the combination looks like put all together, read on.

1. We have a large front room with oversized windows and a sliding patio door.

2. Then, we have a master bedroom with a single, average-sized window and a large sliding patio door.

3. Finally, there’s a single window above a bathtub in the master bathroom.

Cellular Shades in Front Room Window

  • The picture above shows you a smooth match when combining two different (but similar) cellular shades. There are three honeycomb shades in total. The one in the middle is a vertical cellular shade that opens and stacks to the right. It’s covering a patio sliding door.
  • There was enough space within the window frame to mount it as an inside mount (which makes it look “almost” flush with the window frame).
  • Such a note gave it a nice, clean, and finished look.
  • The metal headrail is covered by a matching wooden valance.

Vertical Cellular Shade

  • Notice how the light-filtering material gently diffuses the strong incoming light of the day. The sun was strong that day and it made the room feel “hot”.
  • Once we put up the shades, we noticed a temperature drop in the room right away.
  • Even our sunglasses came off.
  • Now, what’s happening in the bedroom … windows?
  • Blackout Honeycomb Shades In A Master Bedroom.
  • A Sliding Patio Door And An Average-Sized Window Covered.

Blackout Cellular Shades

  • Can you tell the difference between this picture and the one above it?
  • The latter has a blackout liner and filters out 100% of the light trying to get through it.
  • Of course, the peaked window above the slider allows some light in. But that’s what the customer wanted to have.
  • This Vertiglide® stacks to the right and away from the sliding door handle. These shades come as right, left, or center-split cellular window coverings.
  • Both shades are again mounted as an inside mount within the window frames.
  • Now, let’s peek in and see what’s up with the master bathroom window.

Honeycomb Shades In A Master Bathroom

  • Top Down Bottom Up Cellular Shades.
  • With EasyRise™ Pull Cords.
  • Since the architect of this house will never take a bath here, but the owners will, a window covering is a must.

Why?

  • The window faces a busy common road with cars and people trotting through all day long.

Cellular Shades to the Rescue.

  • Let’s make it top-down and bottom-up (to maintain the view as needed).
  • Then, let’s make it easier on us and order EasyRise™ controls from Hunter Douglas, shall we?
  • And that’s what we got. Right and left controls release the shade’s movable rails (movie) towards the shade’s center to release) – the rails fall with gravity.
  • To pull them back up, use the cords and gently pull down and let go, and pull down and let go … until the rails are up.
  • Now, nobody can peek in the master bathroom, the blackout liner does its job in the master bedroom, and the light-filtering fabric protects the hardwood floors and cuts down the glare and temperature in the front room.
  • Cellular Shades in action and you’ve seen it here like this first.
