Rediscover Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas

Natural light sources are automatically focal points of a room, which is why the window treatments you choose matter. At Design 5 Ltd., we love roller shades, and we’ll tell you why. Roller shades from Hunter Douglas are user-friendly, easy to operate, and can complement any existing aesthetic in any home.

Flexible Style

Only some window treatments are suitable for some rooms. That’s not the case with Designer Roller Shades. These shades are precision-engineered in more than 300 fabrics and color choices to offer smooth operation and minimal light gaps. Consider a sheer or light-filtering opacity for living rooms and dining areas and an opaque option for bedrooms and home theaters. If you have a spectacular ocean view interrupted by harsh midday glares, we recommend Designer Solar Shades. Solar shades preserve stunning views while reducing glare and damaging UV rays.

Easy Operation

Ease of use is one of the many reasons that roller shades have been adorning windows for decades. The original roller shades were available with only a push/pull system for raising and lowering. This system was user-friendly until the shade got stuck in a lowered position or flapped wildly out of control onto its roller when raised. Fortunately, those days are long gone. Modern roller shades from Hunter Douglas are available with beaded loop cord control and numerous cordless options, including the newly redesigned PowerView® Automation.

Minimalist Appeal

Whether you choose a vibrant color and pattern or prefer subtly elegant shades, roller shades look fantastic in minimalist decor. Single-piece fabric construction eliminates excess material and pesky stack back, making these window treatments ideal for contemporary-style homes. But what if your home already has a more classic aesthetic? Roller blinds can work for you, too. Design Studio™ Roller Shades feature exclusive fabric choices created by some of today’s leading textile designers in traditional and modern patterns. The innovative Duolite® feature gives you a sheer shade and an independently operated opaque liner on the same roller. This two-shades-in-one design is a minimalist’s dream come true.

Do a Double Take

Wait for a second…are those roller shades or cellular blinds? We have a secret - roller blinds are the ultimate impersonators of the window coverings world. Sonnette® Roller Shades offer the operation of a roller shade with the energy efficiency of honeycomb shades. The 2” cell size looks at home on any size window, in any decor, while the unique cellular construction provides insulation to keep the cool air inside where it belongs.

Roller Shades - What’s New?

How can something new exist in the realm of roller shades? We were, too. Then we were introduced to the all-new Alustra® Architectural Roller Shades. The chameleon of window shades strikes again with this ethereal Roman shade lookalike. The front-rolling fabric delivers the appearance of a Roman shade without the stacking fabric. The collection is available in over 40 new materials recently introduced to the Hunter Douglas brand, and contoured battens bring an elevated elegance to your windows. Alutstra® Architectural Roller Shades provide enhanced privacy and light control with the Kickback™ feature positions the fabric at the headrail closer to the window when the shade is fully lowered.
