FROM TH E PR ESID EN T
2011 – 2012 Board of Directors
T
his issue of the Desert Design Magazine is here to shed a
little light on design solutions. (Bad pun intended.) Lighting has a major
impact on how your fabulous design concept is perceived. No matter
how perfectly you have executed your design concept, without the right
lighting, your room could fall flat. Lighting is an integral part of how a room
tells its story.
There are many factors to consider when designing a lighting scheme, not
limited to: function, style, color, energy, and budget. It takes collaboration,
creativity, and experience to transform a concept into a built environment.
Clients don’t understand the process, but they do appreciate the results.
We all know the three types of lighting:
ambient, task, and accent. Combining them
professionally to layer a room with light will
successfully complete your design. Ambient
alone is hollow and clinical. Task lighting
without ambient will create hotspots and
distract from major design elements. Accents
will draw the eye, but cannot functionally
light a room for general use. Function is the
number one purpose of lighting.
Lighting can be purely functional;
however, it also influences the mood of a
room. A brightly lit room projects a positive,
upbeat mood. A darker room is more
intimate and romantic. One mistake many
clients make in lighting their homes is to
have only one extreme or the other. That is
where an educated designer can make a major difference. There’s much more
to lighting a room than just determining whether you have enough light for
your task. Consider how and when the room will be utilized. Does it require
different lighting levels for different times of day? Will different tasks be
performed? Do elements in the room deserve to be highlighted? By planning
a great lighting arrangement for the space, it will ultimately be more functional
while also creating just the right ambiance.
Aesthetics and scale of lighting fixtures can either support or detract from
the overall design of the space. However, the very best lighting design is
the one you don’t notice, because it doesn’t call attention to itself. Light a
room so effectively that no one notices whether you’re using florescent or
incandescent lights, track lighting or standing lamps – they’ll notice only that
the room feels comfortable, and that they want to come back again. DD

FROM TH E Editor

DESERT ESIGN
I
have been sitting in front of my PC for
many hours after having read through most of the
material forwarded to me for inclusion in this issue
of Desert Design Magazine. Yes, the feature articles
are about lighting and how that segment of design
is an essential component to the work of interior
designers. As we read these articles and others, we
can see that lighting and other facets of design truly
make differences in people’s lives on a daily basis.
Lighting provides functional and aesthetical elements in the built
environment and beyond. The “beyond” is what I wish for readers to find in
these pages. For instance, some of discussions on lighting are concerned with
energy efficiency, that is, how lighting elements impact our lives, how long they
will last and function in people’s homes and offices. These types of concerns
should be addressed with all of our selections for clients’ interiors.
The most poignant segment in this edition of Desert Design Magazine to
me relating to the “beyond” is from Jill Stebbins’ article titled “The Art of
Social Responsibility”. Talking about how some of our chapter’s members are
working with UMOM, Jill said: “The fundamentals of interior design are about
enhancing lives and that means serving everyone, especially the homeless. It
is crucial to show that good design can go beyond high-end, luxury homes.
There is a need for good design solutions that actually change people’s lives.”
Let all of us in this chapter do exemplary work with a positive impact on
aesthetics and the environment, whether it’s through our interaction with each
other, our clients, or our volunteerism. DD

MEETING RECAPS
January Membership Meeting
T
he Baker and Ann Sacks showrooms were the
stunning backdrop for the January Chapter
membership meeting featuring a discussion
of the “beautiful “side of Universal Design.
Michelle Fray, of Kohler, explained to the more
than 100 ASID members in attendance that both
ADA compliant and Universally Designed plumbing
fixtures can provided extra stability, ease of use, and
comfort without compromising beautiful design.
Michelle noted that demand for universally
designed plumbing fixtures is being fueled by
Baby Boomers, the name given to the generation
of Americans who were born in a “baby boom”
following World War II. Michelle believes this aging
segment of the population will become a huge market
for designers. These potential customers, she says,
are both product savvy and have tremendous buying
power that will continue to influence the plumbing
industry in the years ahead.

March Membership Meeting
T
he March membership meeting was held at the
bright, colorful showroom of Design Within
Reach in Scottsdale. Gabe Holland, showroom
manager, gave a quick, witty account of
contemporary versus modern design and how to use
modern in every settings. Who knew you could mix
18th century antiques with a quirky modern chair?
Gabe also explained the DWR 3D room plan
available online to all designers for use in designing
with Design Within Reach products. The designers in
attendance thought this was a great tool for them.
Also on hand was Mary Wolfe, Spinneybeck
Leather sales representative, to talk about using leather
(especially colored leather) on furniture, walls, and
even floors!
Thank you Design Within Reach for hosting our

ove was in the air… that is, if you love the
exquisite fine knotted area rugs found at
Alyshaan Fine Rugs in the Scottsdale Design
Center! The February membership meeting
was hosted by Alyshaan, a third generation, multinational operation that has been serving our design
community since 2001.
Saeed and Sameer Aslam gave an entertaining and
informative presentation that included knowledge
that had been handed down from Saeed’s father who
began importing and manufacturing fine rugs from
India and Pakistan to the United States in 1975.
The presentation began with the history of area
rugs and included information on wool types, the
dying process, types of weaves, and the finishing
process …all accompanied by a slide show of beautiful
images showcasing the labor intensive process. The
program concluded with a description of Alyshaan’s
state of the art custom rug program. With the use of
their online software, never again will our clients need
to compromise on size, color, or pattern.
The family business is truly a labor of love…a
love that we can share with our most discriminating
clients when it’s time to specify that perfect wool area
rug. Thanks to the Alyshaan family for sharing their
extensive knowledge and expertise.

day jobs, personal struggles, and stress to make this a
huge success!!
I received such positive feedback from clients that
had great experiences with their assigned designer.
Along with raising money for scholarships and
education, we educated the public on what a designer
can do for them at a discounted rate. This education
often resulted in a two hour consultation turning into
a full blown contract. What a bonus!
This year we had 43 designers sign up, and a total
of 143 clients faxed, e-mailed, or even sent in their
applications by snail mail. They waited patiently for
their assignments and were truly excited about getting
the opportunity to work with a designer on a number
of home projects from kitchen and bath remodels to
furniture selection, lighting, art placement, window
treatments, flooring options, and of course color!
Thank you for all your hard work!! DD

SID chose UMOM (United
Methodist Outreach Ministries)
for its 2011/2012 Community
Service Project. UMOM strives
to be the leader in breaking the cycle
of homelessness by providing homeless
families and individuals with safe shelter,
housing, and supportive services to
assist them in reaching their greatest
potential. Founded in 1964, UMOM
is the largest homeless shelter for families in Arizona
and their programs include: New Day Shelters; Next
Step Housing; Domestic Violence Shelter; Watkins
Basic Needs Shelter; and Wellness Center – Child
Development Center.
UMOM knows that volunteers are the heart of their
mission as they strive to end the cycle of homelessness
and build a bridge to self-sufficiency. Admittedly, they
state that “they exist entirely through the generosity of
individuals within the community.Through the giving
of their time and talents, volunteers help homeless men,
women and children find hope in the future.”
With that spirit in mind, Tracey Marshall, ASID
President, Cindy Lewton, ASID President Elect, and
Jill Stebbins, ASID Professional Development Director
met with UMOM Director, Darlene Newsom, to
discover priority areas where the highest impact
would benefit the most families. Four committees of
volunteers were formed to redesign four vital areas

within the UMOM facility. Jeanette Knudsen, Allied
ASID, Principle of Design For A Lifespan, was the
project manager who oversaw the endeavor to assure
branding cohesion, material compatibility, and budget
optimization.
These socially minded designers devoted their
expertise to this project and invited vendors and
peers to facilitate its completion. The fundamentals
of interior design are about enhancing lives and that
means serving everyone, especially the homeless. It is
crucial to show that good design can go beyond high
end, luxury homes. There is a need for good design
solutions that actually change people’s lives.
Although the project may take up to two years to
execute due to the time it takes to raise the necessary
funds, UMOM has set priorities to eventually
be able to install all of the designs that ASID has
recommended. Proceeds from what ASID has raised
through UMOM bracelet sales and cash donations
have gone straight to the ASID redesign project.

have an empty space inside myself
that can only be filled by a dog,”
famed journalist and film critic
Roger Ebert writes in Life Itself
— A Memoir. “Dogs remember every
favor you ever did for them and store it
in a bank titled Why My Human Is a God.”
Based on the attention to the needs of Man’s Best
Friend that I am seeing in homes, it is clear that
this sentiment is being embraced whole-heartedly.
Take the master bedroom, for example. When beds
with legs became popular and mattresses increased
16
Desert Design spring 2012
in thickness, their top surfaces became further away
from the floor and adorable pet ladders designed to
blend with other furnishings in the room became
a must-have amenity. For those who prefer that
their pets sleep in beds of their own, designer
styles—sometimes with such features as tufted
cushions, scrolling ironwork and gracefully arching
canopies—became the perfect solution.
Now dog-loving clients are putting a new spin
on creature comforts by challenging architects
and designers to come up with unique solutions
to other needs of their cherished pets. And the
style of the home, along with the materials used,
are important considerations. Following are some
examples:
• Interior designer Jo Hale, Allied ASID, designed
a VIP doggie door for a client’s Yorkshire terriers:
To keep the portal from looking like an eyesore in a
pretty room with Euro-style decor, she used leftover
materials from remodeling the home’s master bath
to create a tumbled mosaic travertine surround
capped with a mini travertine arch.
• While designing a Spanish Colonial Revival
residence for a client in Paradise Valley, architect
Mike Higgins came up with the idea of claiming
space under a stairwell to create canine sleeping
quarters for the owner’s pair of Labs. The indoor
doggie den is equipped with comfy beds, air
conditioning, ventilation, and an open-work
wrought-iron gate (see picture).
• Other examples of pet-friendly ideas include
a Contemporary home with a sleek stainless
steel-lined doggie shower in the laundry room; a
laundry room with a pull-out food bin embellished
with a cut-out in the shape of a dog bone; a pet
door opening to a walled dog yard complete with
faux grass; a replica of a mini fire hydrant, and a
grillwork “roof ” to prevent attacks from predators.
Design decisions, such as these, are driven by a
growing desire for highly-personalized features that
will be aesthetically pleasing, increase efficiency,
reduce maintenance, and offer long-term value.
Fortunately, a plethora of products is available,
and there will always be a need for great design
solutions for pets and people alike. DD

Hello, Lumens.
The New Way To Shop For Light
By Eric Berkey, Hinkley’s Lighting
As of January 1, 2012, the traditional,
inefficient 100-watt incandescent light bulb does not meet
new efficiency standards set forth by the Energy Independence
and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), and will no longer be
available at most stores. A vast misconception about the EISA
is that the government has “banned” the sale of the traditional
incandescent bulb as we know it. No bulbs are specifically
banned, but the minimum efficiency standards in the EISA are
high enough that the incandescent light bulbs most commonly
used by consumers today will not meet the new requirements.
The Act will essentially eliminate the 40W, 60W, 75W, and
100W medium screw base light bulbs between 2012 and 2014.
The new efficiency standards of the EISA require certain light
bulbs to consume approximately 20-30% less electricity (watts)
18
Desert Design spring 2012
for the amount of light produced (lumens). The second tier
of the Act will take effect in 2020 and require 45% greater
efficiency than today’s bulbs. The most important point to
understand is that the EISA is not a “design” standard, but
is rather a “performance” standard. While a design standard
may have been prescriptive about what technologies should
be banned, a performance standard focuses on the service of
the product. In this case, the EISA establishes a minimum
requirement around the amount of light delivered per unit of
energy consumed, thus leaving manufacturers free to devise
creative solutions with products to meet the standards. Notable
exceptions to the Act include decorative candelabra base bulbs,
three-way bulbs, shatter resistant, and many other familiar
household bulbs. The focus of the EISA is to reduce energy
usage in this country, and as the traditional incandescent bulb
delivers 90% of its energy as heat, it was only a matter of time
before this issue reached a legislative body. The incandescent
bulb that has been in use since Edison invented it, now more
than 130 years ago, will give way to many choices, including
newer “hybrid” incandescent bulbs. The improved 100w lamp
will now have to operate at 72watts and provide a comparable
amount of light (see chart), and possibly last up to three
times longer. This increased brightness at fewer watts is most
frequently accomplished using halogen technology. Many of
the halogen incandescents are the same familiar pear shape that
we view as the iconic shape of a light bulb, being outwardly
almost identical to the old incandescents.
Some current alternatives:
Halogen Incandescent
• about 30% more efficient than traditional bulbs
• similar to traditional incandescents with halogen
technology
• lifetime about 3000 hours
• familiar shape
CFLs
• use about 75% less energy than traditional incandescents
• options for brightness, color, and size much better than
earlier versions
• some dimming options available, although limited
• priced higher but short payback
• contains mercury, but generally less than 5mg
LEDs
• use about 80% less energy than traditional incandescents
• lifetimes as high as 25 years
• rapidly evolving technology
• options for brightness, color, and size much better than
earlier versions
• expensive, but prices will drop as technology evolves
Manufacturers have also finally begun to listen to the
clamor of lighting professionals that our clientele, particularly
residential, want color temperatures (Kelvin) that are warmer
and more in line with incandescents. A great deal of early
compact fluorescent and LED bulbs cast a cold bluish
light, making food and people look somewhat embalmed.
Fortunately, new products are emerging daily in response
to that outcry, not only with warmer Kelvin temperatures
(2700K-3000K) but with much higher color rendering
indexes (CRI), a scale that evaluates the actual quality of the
light being produced.
Because more efficient technologies use less watts, a major
shift for the consumer is to now consider lumens (brightness)
not watts (energy used) when selecting bulbs. New labeling
on light bulb packaging, also required at the start of this year,
will emphasize the bulb’s brightness as measured in lumens,
rather than a measurement of watts. The reasoning is, since
a 13-watt compact fluorescent, a 5-watt LED, and a 60-watt
incandescent lamp may all produce the same amount of light,
the use of watts is no longer a barometer of what amount of
light you will receive. After all, we typically buy things based
on how much of it we get, right? When buying apples, we
buy them by volume (pounds). So, why should light be any
different? For decades, we have been buying light bulbs based
on how much energy they consume (watts) – no matter how
much light they give us (lumens). It will take a fair amount
of re-training for the public to think about lumens instead of
watts when selecting light bulbs (see chart for equivalencies).
That is why the new “Lighting Facts” label is appearing on
light bulb packages. Graphically based on the “Nutrition
Facts” label on food packaging, the lighting facts label will
provide information about:
• brightness
• energy cost
• the bulb’s life expectancy
• light appearance (for example, if the bulb provides
“warm” or “cool” light)
• wattage (the amount of energy the bulb uses)
• whether the bulbs contains mercury
In time, the public will adapt, but consumer education is
essential.

As an epilog to this story, mainly because of the publics’
misunderstanding of the Act, the House of Representatives
recently voted to provide no funding for the Department of
Energy to enforce the EISA, in effect leaving its requirements
in limbo. The lighting industry’s unilateral response has
been to continue moving forward in the development of
creative solutions and energy efficient products. As a lighting
professional, I celebrate that response, as it truly is the only
prudent course to take. In this much more complicated world
of lighting options, your projects, as a design professional, will
always benefit from drafting a lighting professional as part of
your team from the outset.

Illumination
T
Where to Start?
By Robin L. Goetz, Lutron Electronics
There are many ways to illuminate a space
or site properly (and unfortunately even more ways to
improperly light it).
There are three important elements to lighting design:
Lamps, control and packaging.
1. Begin by selecting the proper lamps/light bulbs.
Knowledge of every type of lamp available to each project is
necessary to determine the solution for every need.
2. Control of the lighting is just as important as choosing
the right lamp, and there are many types of controls out there
today to choose from. In the age of “green,” most people
aren’t even aware of how much energy dimming saves while
also setting the right mood and ambiance.
3. Knowledge of the “packaging” or fixture that is available
for each type of lamp, as well as understanding which
products are going to withstand the test of time and handling.
It must be pointed out here that an invaluable investment
for any project is hiring a Lighting Designer. Working with
someone knowledgeable in all three categories above can
most effectively provide creative and cost-effective solutions.
Lamps are broken down into many different categories by
their “type” of light. There is not one that is necessarily better
than all others--they all have their purpose in the appropriate
application. In fact, it is very common and desirable to
mix the sources of light so as to give depth, dimension and
composition to a space. Here are some of the most common
sources:
Incandescent: Provides a warm yellow light that
generally spreads in all direction. There are many shapes of
the bulb that allow for successful use in many applications
including lamps, recessed downlighting, architectural accent
lighting and decorative fixtures.
Halogen: Provides a crisp whiter, brighter source
of light than incandescent. The bulb comes in many shapes
and forms that can create a widespread overall general
illumination, a tightly focused beam of light, or anything in
between.
Fluorescent: Originally seen in offices, retail and
commercial facilities, fluorescent lighting is regularly used
residentially due to green Initiatives. Specified correctly, it has
great color-rendering attributes, uses little wattage compared
to its light output, and has a very long life.
LED: The latest lighting technology and the future of
lighting, LEDs can provide sufficient levels of light output
with very low energy input, (up to 75% less energy than
standard bulbs), along with amazingly long life. LED is used
everywhere, including traffic lights, automotive lights, highimpact feature lighting, cabinet and niche lighting, and now
everyday light bulbs. In many applications though, the best
products are also the most expensive, so upfront costs can
make the use of this source prohibitive unless it can be looked
at from a long-term payback solution due to its savings in
energy and replacement maintenance.
The color of the LED source is another issue that although
it continues to improve, must be considered and reviewed in
each application and product selection--it is often too blue
or ‘cool’ in comparison with other lighting that may be in
the area. Dimming LEDs can be tricky; go to Lutron’s LED
product selection tool to determine the specific dimmers and
corresponding LEDs at www.lutron.com/leds.
Dimming:
In 1959 Joel Spira, founder of Lutron, invented the
solid-state light dimmer, which forever changed the way
people look at light. Prior to this, it was mostly a theatrical
application. Today, there are wallbox dimmers, lighting
control systems that provide dimming throughout an entire
house, and with Lutron’s Radio RA2 for instance, you can
even dim from your iPad/iPod or Android phone, whether
remotely or at home. As well, Lutron’s Radio RA2 allows
you to retrofit a whole home without adding additional
wiring.
Dimming is as necessary as selecting the proper lamps; it
not only saves energy (dimming your lights 50% saves 40%
in energy), it also exponentially increases the lamp life while
allowing the user to set the right light levels to create an
ambiance or perform a task. (See Lutron’s interactive energy
calculator at http://www.lutron.com/Education-Training/
Tools/Pages/EnergySavingCalc.aspx)
Knowing the right dimmer to use is critical. Incandescent,
low-voltage halogens, fluorescent and LED are all
dimmable…but NOT with the same equipment. DD

Proper
P
Illumination
By David Pritchett, Hacienda Lighting
Planning and designing a remodel of a
residential space is an exciting but sometimes stressful event
for a designer and their client. When it comes to lighting, it
doesn’t have to be.
The first thing an interior designer must do to ensure
lighting success when planning a remodel is to consult a
residential lighting professional at the beginning of a project.
Most local lighting showrooms will provide an in home
consultation for a refundable fee and work very closely with
interior designers on a regular basis. Making use of this
resource will ensure that you are aware of any electrical needs
and additions that may be required.
When remodeling a kitchen, upgrading appliances,
installing beautiful new cabinets, selecting that perfect floor
tile or granite countertop, and adding or enhancing a kitchen
island are all at the top of the shopping list. Lighting needs
often are added as an after thought; however, correct or
incorrect illumination in your kitchen or any space can make
or break the finished product.Your client hand selected that
gorgeous granite countertop and selected the glass doors for
the cabinets to show off their beautiful dinnerware, stemware
or china and they want to be able to see what they are doing
when working at the counter. Proper illumination will bring
all those wonderful features to life and can be achieved at a
reasonable expense.
Under cabinet lighting to illuminate the counter top and
inside cabinet lighting are the most popular and often the
most useful lighting additions. Mini recessed or puck lights
are the most popular for inside the cabinet and strip lights are
the way to go under the cabinet. Strip lights come in many
forms for different applications; my favorite for under cabinet
lighting is LED tape light. Tape light is just that - LED’s
attached to a strip of 3M adhesive tape. Tape light can be
installed quickly and easily, is dimmable and comes in many
different color temperatures to suit any application.
Another very popular lighting solution in any space is
adding recessed can lights in the ceiling. These can be used
as task or accent lighting.You may want to install can lights
over a kitchen island for improved task lighting, around the
perimeter of a space to
illuminate artwork or
to bring that beautiful
faux finish on your wall
to life. Bathrooms are
another great place for
recessed lighting as long
as they are positioned
properly in the space. For
instance, you don’t want
to place a recessed light
directly over the head
of someone standing
at the sink: you want
it positioned so that
the light will shine on
a persons face and not
on top of their head.

including size, style,
bulb type and wattage
This kitchen application features
can be daunting, and
LED recess lighting, puck lighting

wade through them
quickly and efficiently.
Once you have decided what you want to illuminate and
how, you must ensure that you have the proper electrical
plan. How are you going to get electrical power to the areas
that need it? Do you need to add wall switches? What about
dimmers? Because you consulted a lighting professional at
the beginning of the project you will be better prepared to
answer these questions and complete the project on time
and on budget. DD

Regardless of whether the project is an
airport, commercial office space, living room, hospitality
project or a house of worship lighting will always be a critical
element in enhancing architectural space of any size or use.
Certain key factors are necessary in every space to maintain
acceptable lighting levels and keep the project interesting
while giving it a hint of drama.
Downlighting. Downlights, a familiar lighting source,
are available from many sources in many shapes and sizes.
They are designed to provide a uniform base to which other
elements may be added. Downlights can be recessed, surface,
pendant or rail mounted. One of the best valued products
on the market right now is from Recesso that provides a
decorative cover for downlights giving it a new look without
touching the electrical.
Architectural Uplighting. This is a lighting element that is
often forgotten in spaces with high or vaulted ceilings. Many
cathedral type ceilings are dark and dingy because they are
not properly illuminated. There are several very efficient and
high performing uplights that enhance the space and certainly
give the illusion of greatness. Another method of achieving
uplight with or without drama is from a cove. Typically, coves
are illuminated with fluorescent. Color can be added with
sleeves that are available in 274 colors. They come in rolls and
simply slip on. Not as good as cold cathode but not nearly as
expensive either.
Wallwashing. Wallwashers are often recessed with
kicker reflectors, surface mounted linear or rail attached.
They can be installed in any source presently available and is
another method of enhancing space.
Accent Lighting. Using fixtures for accent is
the perfect method to highlight fine artwork, sculpture,
tapestry or others items that require attention. This can be
accomplished by recessed adjustable, monopoints or rail
systems with individual luminaries.
Decorative Lighting Fixtures. These
fixtures can be either +-completely decorative or multipurpose and provide general illumination as well.
Custom. Custom or standard products that are modified
to be semi-custom can be also decorative or used to provide
general illumination, accents or downlighting functions.
An outstanding example of a very well-planned and
executed lighting project in Scottsdale is the Talking Stick
Resort, a casino, hotel and convention facility that employs
all of the above mentioned elements. Milt Elliott of FFKR
Architecture in Scottsdale specified the lighting fixtures.
Jonathan Plimpton of Flack + Kurtz in San Francisco
executed the lighting design and the majority of the fixtures
were supplied by Neidhardt Lighting of Redwood City, CA.
The Talking Stick sign at the entrance is a uniform
wall washing produced by a series of recessed low-voltage,
adjustable downlights which provide uniform foot candles
without hot spots. The entrance rotunda is illuminated by
a combination of low-voltage, four-inch downlights and a
deep blue cove of cold cathode. Decorative custom pendants
provide a unique look and also a pleasing general illumination
in the circulation space. The combination of warm white in
the center cove casts a warm glow for general illumination
and helps to eliminate the dark ceiling feeling found in other
parts of the space. The Ocean Grill bar has unique red/ blue/
green color changing LEDs that generate a festive feeling.
The pre-function space mosaic panels are illuminated with
a combination of up and down light sconces with a satin glass
that prevents glare and makes the space come alive. Artwork
is highlighted with low-voltage adjustable downlights.
The atrium space has a pleasing assortment of adjustable
downlights and architectural halogen uplights to provide nice
layers of light. DD

mock NCIDQ practical exam. They start at 7:00 am
and work until 5:00 pm. They are divided into work
groups. The goal is to have students from different
schools and education levels pair up to form equal
and fair teams. The success of the projects can only
be accomplished through the students’ ability to
work with a variety of personalities and working
styles. Each team is mentored by an industry
professional who answers questions and guides the
teams, while allowing them to develop a solution on
their own. The end result is a presentation in front
of a panel of judges who identify the winners. Cash
awards as well as certificates will be awarded at the
Student Career Day. It is a rewarding experience
of shared ownership of a concept and execution of
their vision!

CREATE THE PERFECT MOOD
WITH NATURAL LIGHT
Light alters mood, affects color and changes the entire feeling of a room. Select Hunter Douglas window fashions beautifully
diffuse sunlight deep into the room for just the right ambiance, from low-light calm to full-sun brilliance. Their insulating properties
keep homes cooler during the warmer months. And with ultraviolet protection, they help protect interior furnishings.
Contact your Hunter Douglas Design Center Partner today to access all the resources you need to make
selling Hunter Douglas window fashions easier and more profitable. Visit growyourdesignbusiness.net
