Roman Shades That Make a Statement
When you’re looking to quickly change up the atmosphere of your home while still investing in worthwhile statement pieces, Roman shades are a fantastic option. Refreshing your window treatments is an economical, quality-enhancing improvement you can make to your home that not only gives you the freedom to change up your decor but can also help add overall value to your home. At Benchmark Shutters & Shades, we believe in the power quality window treatments can have on a space, which is why we’re loving our Hunter Douglas Roman shades right now. Roman shades are known for their signature pleats and uniform aesthetic that accent windows with volume and depth. Today, we’re highlighting a few of our favorite products and why they should be at the top of your list if you’re on the market for new window treatments.
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades
These beautiful shades feature rippling, uniform Roman pleats designed to protect your windows in style. Consistent folds boast volume without added bulk for shallow mounting depths and a minimalistic appearance. Choose from a gorgeous collection of colors, textures, and patterns offered by the exclusive Alustra® Collection. The Alustra® Collection brings designer fashion to your windows in classic, timeless styles. With popular shades like Kyanite and Gold Leaf, you can’t go wrong. Pair your Roman shades with a secondary Duolite® roller shade for total light control. Duolite® operates independently of your primary Roman shade for customizable lighting and opacities, offering a wide spectrum of lighting perfect for bedrooms and living rooms.
Take your Vignette® Modern Roman Shades to the next level with innovative motorization technology from Hunter Douglas. PowerView® Automation turns your ordinary shades into motorized window coverings you can control from anywhere inside or even outside of your home. Program custom schedules in the convenient PowerView® smartphone app and quickly set the mood with Scenes that remember your favorite lighting orientations.
Solera® Soft Shades
Experience the revolutionary combination of signature Roman shades with the energy efficiency of cellular shades. Solera® Soft Shades boast beautiful pleats with a cell-shaped interior designed to trap air and better insulate your home. Enjoy cooler summers and warmer winters with improved insulation and premium light control designed to keep our excessive sunlight and solar heat gain. Protect your home from damaging UV rays in fabrics ranging from light filtering to room darkening opacities. Explore woven and non-woven fabric collections that offer anything from classic neutrals to bold colors that are sure to make a statement. Increased sound absorption makes Solera® shades a solid choice for bedrooms where light control and sound control are key to a great night’s sleep.
