Technically, window shades are soft, fabric-based options like Roman or honeycomb shades. They differ from hard window treatments with more structured materials, like wood, metal, or vinyl blinds. Hunter Douglas also makes those, but let’s concentrate on those fabulous shades for now.

Types of Shades for Every Room

These are the main categories of window shades and their best uses:

Cellular Shades

Often called honeycomb shades, these energy-efficient window coverings trap air when they’re closed, forming an insulating layer between the window and the rest of the room. Cellular shades come in a range of light-filtering options, from sheer to blackout, making them suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices.

Roman Shades

Roman shades combine the elegance of drapery with the practicality of shades. They have fabric folds in different styles and are highly customizable, with many fabrics, textures, and patterns available. These shades work well in spaces where you want a luxurious aesthetic, like dining rooms or formal sitting areas.

Roller Shades

Roller shades are straightforward shades with a clean, minimalist appearance. They roll up into headrails to maximize the view or down for complete privacy. Solar shades are roller shades made from UV-resistant materials that reduce glare and block the sun’s rays. Roller shades are suited for kitchens and bathrooms; we recommend solar shades for rooms with oversized, sunny windows and sunrooms. Solar shades protect furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading caused by sun exposure.

Woven Wood Shades

If you prefer natural textures and materials, woven wood shades are your go-to Hunter Douglas shades. Made from materials like bamboo, reeds, and grasses, they connect with the outdoors and add artisanal beauty to windows. We like how they complement bohemian, rustic, and coastal design styles.

Sheer Shades

Hunter Douglas sheer shades gently filter light through sheer fabrics layered with adjustable vanes. They also curb UV rays and protect privacy, making them a fine choice for family rooms and living rooms. The delicate, airy ambiance is sophisticated and has a calming effect.

Choosing the Right Hunter Douglas Shades

When shopping for custom types of shades, consider window size, light control, and privacy first. We can measure your windows for a perfect installation, but you can determine if you want light blocking, light filtering, or both.

We can upgrade your Hunter Douglas shades with light-blocking liners, different fabrics to meet your needs, and various control options, including motorization. Once you understand the choices, the decision will come naturally.
