Howard’s Draperies
Convenient control for compatible shades, blinds, and drapery.
Chosen for your windows
Howard's Draperies helps homeowners in Boulder, Colorado choose motorized shades for windows that are hard to reach or need adjusting throughout the day. We bring samples to your home, measure the windows, and help you plan controls, power, and professional installation.
Start with the shade fabric, privacy, and look you want. Then decide how you’d like to operate it. Automated shades can add scheduled movement to motorized operation when the selected system supports it. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation is available on compatible treatments. The PowerView® App is required for programmed operation.
Measuring and professional installationA shade behind the sofa or above a stairwell can be awkward to adjust by hand. Motorization lets you move it using compatible controls. It can also simplify opening and closing several shades throughout the day.
Tell us which windows you use most and how you’d like to control them. We’ll help you compare individual controls, room groups, and available automatic routines.
Start with the fabric, light control, and appearance you want. Motorization is an operating option for compatible Hunter Douglas shades, so we’ll check which choices work with your windows.
Motorized roller shades offer a simple fabric profile with controls within easy reach. Compare roller shades for filtered daylight or greater privacy, and screen fabrics when glare and the view matter most. Screen fabrics may need a second layer for privacy after dark.
Prefer cellular fabric, soft Roman folds, or a sheer look? Selected styles also support motorization. We’ll show you how the fabrics look when raised and lowered, then compare the available controls.
Selected Hunter Douglas blinds offer motorized tilt, while selected Hunter Douglas shutters offer motorized louver movement. Tilting the slats is different from raising the blind or opening a shutter panel. We’ll explain the movement your selection supports.
PowerView® Automation offers app, remote, and programmed control for compatible Hunter Douglas treatments. Use a handheld remote for everyday adjustments, or explore app features for organizing rooms and creating scenes and schedules. The PowerView® App is required for programmed operation.
Some features need additional hardware. Our automation setup service includes planning compatible controls and showing you how to use them. Tell us which smart-home platform you use so we can check the supported connections and equipment before you order.
Battery, rechargeable, and wired power choices depend on the shade and system. We’ll plan the power source along with professional installation, including access for charging or maintenance.
These options can avoid visible household wiring where supported. We’ll show you where the batteries or charging points sit and explain how to reach them, including any battery removal or charger needs.
Wired power can be worth considering during construction or renovation. We’ll identify the treatment’s power requirements so electrical work can be coordinated with the appropriate trades before the finishes are complete.
Motorized shades move with a motor. Automation adds supported features such as scheduled movement, so you don’t have to press a button each time. A motor alone does not mean scheduling or smart-home connections are included.
No. Availability depends on the product, fabric, size, shape, and operating system. We’ll help you compare compatible choices for your windows.
Some existing treatments cannot be converted. We’ll review your current shade and operating system to see whether a supported retrofit is available or whether a new treatment is needed.
The fabric and coverage determine privacy; the motor makes adjustment easier. We’ll compare fabrics and mounting choices for the light and privacy you want, including any gaps at the edges.
Window size, shade style, fabric, motors, controls, power, and installation affect the quote. Let us know whether you’re updating one room or planning several. Our motorized shade buying guide explains these choices in more detail.
