Designing a Master Bath Retreat with Privacy and Efficiency
The Challenge:
This Middleton couple had a vision: a master bath retreat that combined elegant design with everyday practicality. But with windows facing a busy street on the north side of their home, they needed more than just style—they needed year-round energy efficiency, daytime privacy, and soft, filtered light to maintain the spa-like ambiance they were after.
The Solution:
Here we introduced the Hunter Douglas Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades in the sophisticated 1¼” Alexa fabric, color Journal. Known as one of the most energy-efficient window treatments available, these shades were the perfect blend of form and function. Equipped with Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation and PowerView® Automation, they offered precise control over light and privacy—all with a tap on a phone, tablet, or remote.
Project Highlights
This master bath transformation wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about improving the feel and function of the space. The cellular construction of the Duette® Architella® shades adds an insulating layer at the window, keeping winter chills and summer heat at bay. The bathroom now stays more comfortable, reducing strain on the HVAC system and keeping utility costs more predictable.
Top-Down/Bottom-Up gave the homeowners the flexibility to let in daylight while maintaining full privacy—ideal for a street-facing bathroom. And with PowerView® Automation, they can schedule their shades to adjust automatically, or simply change their position with voice commands or a swipe on their smartphone.
The end result is a sleek, minimal look that complements the bathroom’s monochromatic palette while quietly performing its job in the background—comfort, convenience, and beauty, all in one custom solution.
