The Best Shades and Draperies in Burlingame

For over 30 years, Rebarts has earned its reputation as the most trusted name in the Bay Area for custom window treatments. We offer Hunter Douglas products that homeowners genuinely love. And it’s not only about the quality; we’re dedicated to quality customer support.

Rebarts Blinds & Shades showcases the complete Hunter Douglas collection, and our design experts love showcasing some unique Hunter Douglas vertical shades that create a drapery effect.

Our Hunter Douglas galleries allow you to view working examples of each style of shade in store. One popular style is vertical fabric shades that mimic the look of drapery. Here are two of our favorites:

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are a study in organic beauty; this design exemplifies how contemporary window treatments made with natural texture in a draped effect. No two shades are 100% exactly alike—though they go together perfectly. They are manufactured with natural sustainably sourced materials like wood, grasses, and bamboo and woven into uniform designs and fabric lines.

These fabrics are surprisingly durable, with minimal stretching, bowing, or breaking. We can show you 80+ fabric/color choices and explain the available enhancements, including edge banding, balances, the Top-Down/Bottom-Up design, and independent liners in sheer or opaque styles.

Luminette® Sheer Panels combine the flowing elegance of drapery-like sheers with exceptional light control and privacy features of vertical blinds. This design features elegant sheers and 180-degree rotating fabric vanes that gently diffuse light. The vertical fabric construction creates gentle, flowing lines that soften architectural elements with a radiant, sophisticated appearance.

Offered in 80+ fabric/color choices, these sheers suit rooms with tall windows or sliding glass doors, where traditional drapery might feel too heavy. The SofTrak™ 2.0 mechanism has exclusive hardware components hidden behind the fabric panels for a clean appearance in the closed position. 

Before choosing window treatments, consider how sunlight moves through your home throughout the day. If you have south-facing windows, you'll want options that tame the intense afternoon sun but still let in gentle morning rays. North-facing rooms often feel dim, so look for styles that maximize every bit of natural light while keeping nosy neighbors from peeking in.

Don't be afraid to mix and match different Hunter Douglas styles in the same room. Combining blinds, shutters, and shades and sheers with custom drapery options gives you the best of a sophisticated complement perfect for varying levels of light control. 

Here's a secret many homeowners don't know: window treatments don't need to match your walls perfectly. Much of the time, we prefer it when they don't. If you have bold, colorful walls, try natural wood or soft neutrals for your treatments. Got a room full of neutrals like beige and cream? A subtle pattern for adding interest to your design.

Stop settling for windows that don't inspire you: At Rebarts, we believe every window should be a design statement. There’s no reason to wait, so why not visit one of our 4 Bay Area showrooms or ask about scheduling your in-home consultation. Contact us for service.
