    How Good Design Can Make You a Happier Person

    Have you ever stepped into a beautifully organized room, opened an app that just flows, or used a product that felt surprisingly effortless? That tiny spark of delight you felt wasn’t an accident—it was good design doing its quiet magic!

    Great design doesn’t just make things look pretty. It shapes how we move, think, feel, and even how we breathe. When your environment or tools are intuitive, you spend less time frustrated and more time enjoying the moment. Imagine a desk setup where everything has a place, a chair that supports your back, or a color palette that instantly relaxes you. Suddenly, life feels just a bit lighter, right?

    Good design gives your brain a break. It replaces micro-stress with micro-joy. It turns chores into smooth experiences and transforms clutter into clarity. And when your surroundings support you instead of overwhelm you, your mood naturally lifts.

    So whether you’re tweaking your workspace, tidying a corner, or choosing objects that spark joy instead of chaos, you’re not just decorating—you’re designing a happier version of yourself. And that’s a beautiful thing.

    Here’s to living in spaces, systems, and moments that feel good and do good. Cheers to happiness by design! 🌟

  • Vertiglide by Hunter Douglas

    This is a great choice for vertical side-to-side openings, sliding-glass doors or as room dividers. Vertiglide is available as a child-safe, cordless operating system on our Duette® and Applause® Honeycomb Shades.


    Available with manual operation or with PowerView® Automation. For your convenience, the Vertiglide system features Dual Operation which allows you to activate the shade with any PowerView control device such as the remote or app, or simply operate the shade manually by hand. This convenient feature is ideal for lost remotes, entering the home from outside and for guests without knowledge that the shade is motorized. Please note that PowerView Automation is not available with Applause Honeycomb Shades.

  • Power To Your Shades

    How are the blinds powered?

    Once you have decided to choose a motorized blind or shade, you will also need to determine what power source will be the best choice. Battery operated blinds are the most common, both standard or rechargeable batteries are available. Another option is a plug in low voltage transformer. Based on your window covering needs our designers can help determine which power source will work the best for your particular situation.

    Homeowners in the building stage have a unique advantage to wire their homes for window coverings, allowing the blinds and shades to run off of low voltage wiring. Wiring the window coverings provides a reliable power supply. You’ll never have to worry about replacing batteries, as hardwired blinds draw power directly from your home’s electrical system. 

    Superblinds is known for our expertise in wiring for window coverings. We work with well established brands such as Lutron and Hunter Douglas who provide quiet, top quality motorized products. We can guide you through the process and work with your electrician to the projects completion. Call us or visit our showroom for more information.

    Battery-wands

    Standard battery wands use lithium batteries. A more environmentally friendly option is a rechargeable battery wand. In both cases the battery wand is generally attached to the back of the shade headrail. If the window is accessible the wand can be easily removed to either replace the batteries or charge the wand when necessary. Choosing rechargeable batteries offer the additional options of continuous solar charging and the selection of an internal battery on some window covering products.
