You have had it with the paper shades…but not really feeling the wood or faux wooden blinds for your condo.   You have been searching all over for a modern alternative but unsure what to select.  Well…


Your search is over!! We have just joined forces with DC’s Ace hardware stores, in assisting them to offer Hunter Douglas (R) products to the DC community.  There are plenty of modern and contemporary shades and blinds options – for a reasonable cost.  And we can install them too!  Check out a few options below!

The shades shown to the right provide a great option for condo owners to help reduce the impact of the sun’s strong UV rays, yet keep the light feel in a room. Yes, you can purchase these shades with the silver headrail and have them installed either with corded loop or even motorized, on a remote control for less fuss! Lots of colors are available to complement your decor.

The common name for the blinds shown here are ‘matchstick blinds’. We know them as Woven Woods and are available in natural woods like bamboo, reeds, or grasses. These can even be lined to help darken rooms, if that is your desire. These shades work nicely in rooms with exposed brick or stone and complement hardwood floors nicely too!


Check these shades out in person at Tenleytown’s Ace hardware or 5th Street Ace or else submit a request for a designer consultation for your condo!

Remember the most expensive shade is the one you have to replace. Get it done right the first time!
