App Allows Users to Preview Window Coverings

The Art of Window Dressing iPad App from Hunter Douglas lets consumers see how different window coverings will look on their windows anywhere, anytime. The app, which won Best Mobile Application in the design industry in the 2013 Internet Advertising Competition, was developed by Hunter Douglas in conjunction with Enlighten of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Visual IT Ltd. in the United Kingdom.

Features include:

• Fashion Show, a virtual showroom of the company’s extensive line of custom window fashions that add great design to any home.
• Dress A Window allows consumers to preview how each product looks in sample room scenes or in their own homes. They can take their own picture of a room and render products right on the windows to preview how different styles impact the overall decor.
• Swatch Sorter lets consumers sort through the thousands of choices. They can select among light-filtering options, different fabrics and color families. The color section sorts the fabrics available in each product style by color families. Once a color family is selected, just the fabrics within that family are shown so that the process of finding just the right fabric/color combination is much easier.
• A Workbook for saving room renderings complete with product specifications. These room scenes can be shared by e-mail, Facebook and when visiting dealers.
• A Dealer Locator for sourcing nearby retailers.

The Art of Window Dressing App is available at the iTunes Store as well as through Hunter Douglas’ website.
