Selecting the Ideal Window Covering for Every Room
When carefully selected, window coverings are an essential element in a home’s design, elevating the aesthetics while managing natural light and privacy. With the right style, materials, and color, they add the finishing touches to your décor, providing a welcoming elegance.
To provide our clients with the highest quality and a selection that caters to every style, we partner with Hunter Douglas, an industry leader in manual and automated window coverings. Here, we’ll explore Hunter Douglas shades and their numerous styles, from Aura Illuminated Shades that magically create daylight to the timeless aesthetics of wood blinds and draperies.

A Symphony of Shades
Hunter Douglas offers a range of shading options to fit every lifestyle and budget.
- Manual Shades: These offer a simple, yet stylish and cost-effective way to elevate a home’s interior.
- Battery-Powered Shades: These motorized window coverings are ideal for retrofit projects or in rooms where wiring isn’t an option. Convenient and cordless, they are available in both standard and rechargeable battery styles.
- Wired Shades: The ultimate in luxury, hard-wired shades seamlessly integrate into your smart home system for one-touch control. The in-wall wiring creates a clean aesthetic and makes them ideal for new homes or those undergoing extensive remodeling.
Hunter Douglas manufactures numerous types of shades, including sheer, cellular, Roman, roller, and woven wood shades, ensuring a style that aligns with your home’s design.
Globally sourced and artfully designed, some woven wooden shades are crafted from natural materials, such as reeds, bamboo, woods, and grasses. The inspired textures and advanced design found in their Roman shades offer modern elegance and a refined aesthetic.
Aura Illuminated Shades replicate the beauty of sunlight, creating a warm glow even on cloudy days with integrated and adjustable lighting. Their LED strips adjust in hue throughout the day to create the perfect illumination for every occasion.
Managing Motorized Shades
You can manage these smart window coverings with a remote, smartphone app, or a voice assistant. Press a button or state a voice command to lower one or every shade. You can also schedule your shades to open and close based on the time of day, such as rising at dawn and lowering at dusk.
Creating different scenes activates your window coverings based on the activity. A “Watch Movie” scene can lower all your shades in the media room. An “Entertain” scene raises the window coverings facing the backyard, revealing your evening oasis created by stunning landscape lighting.
When integrated with a home automation system, they become part of the smart home ecosystem, letting you manage your shades, lighting, climate, security, and entertainment systems with one tap on a touchscreen or remote. When it’s time to retire, saying “Goodnight” to your smart home lowers the shades, turns off the lights, and locks the doors.
More Than Shade Solutions
Hunter Douglas’s vast product line includes exclusive collections made from premium materials. The company’s Alustra Collection features globally sourced fabrics chosen for their unique colors and textures, with some artfully blending natural fibers into elegant aesthetics.
