Making 
Soft Softer

With its curved profile and soft look, new Cadence® Motif is the industry’s only curved fabric louver.

Softness Takes Shape
Like the original vinyl Cadence Soft Vertical Blind, new Cadence Motif collection incorporates elements of light control, the look and feel of softness and the elegant curved soft shape of the Cadence louver to transform fabric into a soft window covering that isn't like any other vertical blind. Cadence Motif are fabric louvers with the same soft, curved profile of the Cadence louver design. 

To distinguish the products, the ten original Cadence vinyl styles are now branded as Cadence Impressions™. The four new fabric styles are branded as Cadence Motif™. Together, they create a single collection of proprietary, soft vertical blinds. The Cadence Collection offers a look that compares to much higher priced drapery products and adds in the versatility of vertical blinds. 

Remember To Choose 
Direction Up Front

Because of the unique shape of the Cadence louvers, they are not fully reversible like flat vertical vanes. Choose the direction to which you want light to flow, right or left, before you place your order.  You will need to know this when you place your order for any Cadence blind.

The Fabrics of Cadence Motif
With pattern and color on both sides of the louver, the design makes the soft, dimensional look even softer. In the closed position, the Cadence Motif Soft Vertical Blind gives the soft, appearance of a drapery with the added dimension of light control and function. Each Cadence Motif style is room darkening to provide total privacy and light control. 

The four fabric styles of Cadence® Motif™ are Aimee, Camille, Laurel and Wheaton. 

Aimee is a fresh, tone-on-tone design, offering subtle detail through color. Aimee is the opening price point selection and is available in seven great colors.

The crisp look and feel of linen comes alive in the Camille fabric, offered in eight fashion forward and soft neutral colors, each with a matching fabric available. 

The Laurel fabric blends a traditional design with a soft, flowing pattern. Laurel is offered in nine beautiful colors with matching fabric.

The Wheaton style features a blend of complementary colors on a rich textural fabric. Wheaton is available in nine jewel tone selections with matching fabrics available.

Matching and coordinating fabric offers an expanded opportunity for a window covering product.  With the SoftChoice™ program it's easy to get a great look with top treatments even if you're not an expert.

With Cadence Motif, Hunter Douglas takes the guesswork out of design by offering a line of coordinating and matching fabric with patterns and colors to complement both the Cadence Impressions and Motif Collection styles. Cadence Impressions™ features three coordinating and two matching fabrics. Cadence Motif™ features matching fabric to complement three of its styles.

Cadence Motif has the same standard features of the Cadence Impressions collection. These features include:

  • Paramount Headrail System

  • PermaTilt Wand Control Unit

  • DualFold Valance

  • Light Orientation Options

  • Fabric by the Yard

  • SoftChoice™ Top Treatments program
