Enjoy the Beauty of a Window With Roller Shades

Years ago, window shades on a roller were the standard style in many homes, schools, and other public buildings. Over the years, blinds have taken over as the most popular window covering style for many spaces—but roller shades have still been innovating designs with their look and convenience.

Brands like Hunter Douglas have led the way toward innovative, luxurious versions that up a home or building’s design appeal, and our design team at SmartLooks Window & Wall Decor couldn’t be happier. Why have plain vinyl versions when there are so many exciting possibilities?

Roller shades have a clean, minimal look, taking up less space while providing privacy and light control to your home or business. For visual simplicity, they feature a fabric panel that sits close to the glass. When open, the fabric rolls up onto a tube or into a cartridge or headrail. Unlike bulky window treatments, roller shades offer streamlined profiles.

The beauty of modern roller shade collections lies in their versatility. Depending on the chosen opacity, a window with roller shades can range from light-filtering to room-darkening. They come in upscale fabric selections that differ from what we grew up with; we know you’ll be impressed with them.

Hunter Douglas offers its Designer Roller Shades in over 370 fabrics; this baseline style comes in textures, prints, and patterns. Upgrade with Duolite® a system that features one room-darkening and a second, light-filtering shade on the same roller, or pick a convenient Dual Roller design.

These premium window treatments feature globally sourced woven natural fabrics with unique textures and distinctive weaves for added visual interest. They come with a variety of top and bottom treatments and are surprisingly durable. You can enhance Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades with premium hardware components, Duolite®, or a Dual Roller design.

Hunter Douglas designed this hybrid window treatment with the look of Roman and the performance features of roller shade. Alustra® Architectural Roller Shades roll up and out of view like roller shades but have unique structured fabric-covered battens. They feature the premier Alustra Collection® fabrics but with more structured lines.

Sonnette® Roller Shades offer an appealing twist: a streamlined roller shade profile with the energy efficiency of cellular construction. The soft, curved shape creates a dimensional look on windows while providing extra insulation. Available in a range of opacities and colors, they filter light beautifully and keep that contemporary profile.

Also called zebra shades, these custom window shades on a roller make eye-catching design statements; they have alternating sheer and solid fabric bands that you align to control light and privacy. That adjustability lets you control light diffusion and privacy levels throughout the day. Designer Banded Shades come in over 90 fabric choices.

Our design experts can show you all of these roller shades in person so you can compare them more easily. We’ll also share the fabric selections, sizes, and enhancements, such as PowerView® Automation.
