Window Treatments for a Coastal New England Style
Now that summer has finally arrived in New England, at Mill Design & Blinds, we’re leaning into the coastal vibe for interior design. We’ve been serving greater Middlesex County with fine interior furnishings for over 35 years, and we’re proud to call ourselves pros at accomplishing a traditional, clean, welcoming look for your New England home. Hunter Douglas window treatments come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, customizations, and materials to help you accomplish that New England coastal look like wood slats and pops of nautical or ocean-inspired patterns with custom drapery. Check out our top picks for achieving the New England coastal look with the quality and durability of Hunter Douglas window fashions we carry at Mill Design & Blinds.
Shutters
With the historic and metropolitan ambiance of New England cities, the interior style is often complementary to the traditional colonial style homes of New England. When you incorporate the classic shapes of interior shutters, you end up with a gorgeous array of designs made homier with natural materials and clean lines. That’s why we lean toward Hunter Douglas shutters above all other window treatments for homeowners seeking the distinctive New England style.
At Mill Design & Blinds, we carry three different varieties of shutters to fit your style and budget:
- Heritance® Wood Shutters: These 100% hardwood shutters are a timeless classic. You can count on the durability of natural wood sourced sustainability from responsibly managed forests. Match your interior seamlessly with 20 color options to choose from or opt for custom colors and stains for a truly unique finish. Choose from three louver sizes to best fit your ideal aesthetic: 2 ½", 3 ½", or 4 ½". The Truemill® dovetail construction is the same durable construction process as that of fine furnishings and ensures a durable operation you can count on for all the seasons of life.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: These shutters are the ideal choice for homeowners looking for the perfect fit for their bathrooms and kitchens. Protected against long-term damage from heat, temperature changes, and even UV damage, these high-quality shutters are made of our unique water-resistant Polysatin™ compound to take on any challenge life throws at them. The Hunter Douglas Palm Beach Promise™ guarantees no warping, cracking, fading, chipping, peeling, or discoloring. They bring in durability with their Polysatin™ compound—their interior aluminum bracing and resin blocks add superior strength to these shutters, making them a perfect, stress-free addition to your home.
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters: These shutters are the perfect hybrid that bring you the classic, elegant look of hardwood with the durability of man-made materials. You’ll achieve the look of wood grain with our low-luster Finetech® finish while enjoying shutters that boast the added durability of our unique composite materials as they are made with the same Truemill® dovetail construction as our 100% hardwood offerings. These shutters offer more color options than their Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutter counterparts so you don’t have to sacrifice your color choice for the added strength of composite materials.
Add a Pop of Pattern with Custom Drapery
A great way to add a touch of color or a pattern to the classic New England look is with custom drapery. We recommend our Hunter Douglas Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes in a striped, toile, or gingham pattern to easily complement most existing interior decor and furniture. With the wide selection of options from Carole Fabrics, your home will have that warm and inviting coastal New England feeling in no time.
Contact Us for All Your New England Window Treatment Needs
If you would like to explore options beyond wooden shutters or custom drapery, we carry shades, blinds, and more from Hunter Douglas to help put the finishing touch on your New England home. Wooden blinds, Roman shades, and Cellular shades are among some of our favorite energy efficient and light-filtering window coverings.
