Let’s Explore the Many Different Types Available to Suit Your style and needs!

Sheer Shades

The newest addition to window coverings is the sheer shades category. They are both beautiful and functional, filtering light while still providing a clear view outside. This is achieved through adjustable S-shaped vanes positioned between light-diffusing front and back sheer panels. Select from Pirouette® and Silhouette Sheer Shades and Luminette® Sheer Shades.

Roman Shades

Roman shades traditionally cascade down windows, offering privacy, light control, and energy efficiency. Now, they are a design staple with patterned fabrics and varied folds, sometimes flattening at the window. Vignette® Roman Shades feature a modernized design with no exposed rear cords and roll up completely in the headrail.

Woven Shades

Woven shades are beautifully crafted from natural materials such as reeds, bamboo, wood, and grasses. Provenance® Woven Woods feature a variety of woven designs and colors, making it easy to add a touch of elegance and warmth to your windows.

Roller Shades

Roller shades are among the most popular window treatments, offering a sleek and minimal look suitable for any space. They have been popular for many years and feature a wide fabric selection of over 370 options, ranging from sheer to opaque. We offer Designer Roller, Solar Shades, and Designer Banded Shades.

Cellular Shades

Cellular Shades, also called honeycomb shades, provide the best insulation because of their honeycomb-shaped cells designed to trap air, ensuring comfort all year round. Achieve light control and privacy with the top-down, bottom-up design or Duolite® system, which combines two shades in one—light filtering and blackout. Select From Duette® Applause® and Sonnette® Cellular Shades.

Horizontal Blinds

Horizontal blinds were the first major change in window coverings, allowing you to rotate the vanes open and close. They come in aluminum, wood, and faux wood options. They are durable and suitable for any room. Choose from Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds, Parkland® Wood Blinds, and Everwood® Faux Wood Blinds.

Vertical Blinds and Shades

Vertical blinds have greatly evolved. We offer a range of choices, from traditional vertical blinds to panel-track blinds, sheer shades, and cellular shades. They’re ideal for patio and sliding doors. Choose from Somer® Vertical Blinds, Vertical Solutions® Luminette® Sheer Panels, Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide®, and Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds.

Indoor Shutters

Shutters never go out of style with their timeless look and can even boost your home’s value. They come with a variety of operating options, from the discreet tilt feature to the traditional front tilt bar. We offer wood, faux wood, and vinyl shutters, making them suitable for any room in your home, from the bathroom to the living room. Choose from Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, NewStyle® Faux Wood Shutters, and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. Shutters also serve as an excellent room divider.

Draperies

Custom draperies work well alone or layered with another window treatment. The choices of patterns and fabrics are endless, making them a great addition to your room’s decor. From fully functional drapes to side panels, you can choose from sheer to opaque materials.

Beautiful, distinctive fabrics. Perfect alone or layered.

Motorization

Smart, motorized shades have gained popularity. PowerView® Automation enables scheduling blinds, shades, and shutters to control light to match your needs. Ideal for hard-to-reach windows and safe for children and pets. Almost every Hunter Douglas Window Treatment can be motorized. unter
