Illuminate Possibility with Exciting New Shades

Rebarts Blinds & Shades • February 15, 2025

Have you ever considered a window treatment to be a work of art? While some window treatments are more utilitarian and prioritize light control and privacy, others have unique styles and benefits that help to accent your home. A select few illuminate their surroundings with unmatched beauty while serving practical purposes. At Rebarts Blinds & Shades, we feature Hunter Douglas window coverings that illuminate possibility, transforming light in new, exciting ways.

Hunter Douglas Aura® Illuminated Shades near Burlingame, Los Altos, Menlo Park, & San Carlos, CA

Aura® Illuminated Shades Illuminate Possibility

This cleverly designed three-in-one shade has a textured front shade, a room-darkening liner, and built-in illumination. Its integrated features diffuse soft, natural light throughout interior spaces. Aura® Illuminated Shades enhance any room’s atmosphere by blending artificial illumination with daylight, creating an inviting glow that’s perfect for windows large and small.

 

Choose your Aura® Illuminated Shades in three Hunter Douglas shade styles:

 

  • Designer Roller Shades
  • Sonnette® Roller Shades
  • Vignette® Roman Shades

How Do Aura® Illuminated Shades Work?

Here’s the easy part: Aura® Illuminated Shades illuminate possibilities through an advanced home automation system, PowerView™ Automation. Control your shades with the PowerView® App or via voice with the PowerView® Gateway. With PowerView®, adjusting shades, and liner positions is easy. And that’s not all: You can adjust Aura® Illuminated Shades light levels from dim to bright, change the light color temperatures from warm to cool, and even adjust the light fading with PowerView®.

Why Should I Choose Aura® Illuminated Shades?

These custom shades are worth the investment for many reasons:

 

  • These shades provide consistent brightness without glare by filtering sunlight and combining it with lighted accents.
  • Aura® Illuminated Shades can help reduce energy costs by reducing the need for additional lighting during the day.
  • The sheer fabric allows light to enter while maintaining privacy, making them ideal for spaces that face busy streets or neighbors.
  • Available in various fabrics and hues, they complement almost any interior design style.

 

Say goodbye to lamps and harsh overhead light when you can enjoy a natural illumination from your windows with Aura® Illuminated Shades!

Illuminate Possibility With These Window Treatment Ideas for Large Windows

Large windows can feel like blank canvases, and choosing the right treatments can make all the difference. In addition to Aura® Illuminated Shades, consider these inspiring ideas for brightening your space.

Luminette® Sheer Panels

These elegant window coverings combine the look of sheer drapes with 180-degree rotating fabric vanes. They remind us of modern, sophisticated vertical blinds; instead of blocking light, they diffuse it gently for a radiant glow. We recommend them for expansive windows or sliding glass doors. 

 

Luminette® Sheer Panels come in over 80 luxurious fabrics, have 3 ½" vanes, and offer UV protection. You can also enhance this style with PowerView® Automation.

Designer Solar Shades

Also called screen shades, this modern window covering style features fabrics that reduce harsh sunlight while preserving outdoor views. Their UV protection can prevent furniture and flooring from fading, making them as practical as they are attractive.

 

With Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades, you can choose five fabric opacities to control the amount of sunlight that enters your space. For more light control and privacy, ask us about the Duolite® system or Dual Roller design to include a room-darkening liner on the same control mechanism.
