Design Helper: The Hunter Douglas Product Recommender

Shopping for window treatments can be a lot of fun. The right styles, fabrics and colors can really bring a room to life. And the most energy-efficient models can even save you a lot of money — if you know what to look for. But what if you don’t? That’s where a new online offering from Hunter Douglas steps in.

The slick, new Product Recommender on the Hunter Douglas home page not only helps you pick your window treatments— it provides an online window treatment education to help you make the best choices.

When you first start clicking, the Product Recommender starts educating – about light diffusion, variable light control and energy efficiency, among other things, before it even asks about your individual needs.

Then, you answer a series of questions to help narrow down your window treatment choices.

  • The shape of the windows you are decorating.
  • Unique needs, like child safety or motorization.
  • Light control and privacy (like the light diffusion and variable light control mentioned earlier).
  • Materials — from fabric to wood to metal.
  • Style — from contemporary to traditional.

When you are done, you receive the recommendations: a selection of Hunter Douglas products that meet your needs and can be compared to one another. There are links, descriptions and cost factors.

The Hunter Douglas Product Recommender is not a substitute for visiting the window treatment experts at our Hirshfield’s locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota, but it’s a great way to do your research and get ready for your trip to the store. Looking for a more personalized service? Hirshfield’s Shop at Home is a free in-home service with our Window Treatment Designers.

We’ve Served Countless Satisfied Customers Over Generations

I have come to rely on the staff at Hirshfield’s Design Resource for their fabulous customer service and variety of products. The service is always friendly, timely and professional.

As a designer, their advice on window treatments is forever appreciated, and they are always able to show me something new in the displays and samples. They provide quick and accurate estimates, measurements and suggestions when I am struggling with a budget. The final product and installation has been nothing but flawless on every project.

I truly value what they continue to bring to our design community!

Want to give a shout out to Madi. Madi took a pretty awful experience and made it right for us. We had ordered cordless blinds and over half of them did not work right or hang right. Madi helped us return all the blinds and reordered a new product for us which we are very happy with. Madi was persistent in helping us get the issues we experience resolved.

She is always so warm and friendly and definitely puts her customers first. Thanks Madi you are a gem! Also want to add that my overall experience with Hirshfield's in St. Cloud has been an excellent experience. They made things right and put their customers first!

Greg is amazing! We have worked with him throughout the years on both existing homes and new builds and we could not be happier. One of the things I appreciate about Greg is that he gets us to really think about how we will use our space, not just now but in the future when the kids get older. This has honestly has saved us from making some pretty big design mistakes. Finding durable fabrics and pieces is important to us while we have a preschooler running around, yet on the other hand, our teens have a different use for the space.

He is able to make it all work together seamlessly by understanding the space and its function. He has a fresh and distinctive feel to his work and builds in a variety of styles. I HIGHLY recommend working with Greg out of the gate, you will not be sorry. I honestly don't know what we do without his help;)
