The Biggest Surprise

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades

Did you know romans can roll?!? We couldn’t resist adding this stunning product into the many types of roller shades. Even though when they’re lowered, they look like beautifully structured roman shades, they actually function like rollers!

 

Geometric Style

Designer Banded Shades

One of the innovations over the past couple of years, Designer Banded Shades roll, but they also rotate! In the lowered position, you can shift the two layers of fabric, rotating from sheer shapes to solid fabrics. This adjusts the privacy and light control. When you want the window free & clear, you can roll them up–out of the way!

Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades

When we talk about the various types of roller shades, energy efficiency isn’t typically the *first* benefit that comes to mind. They can block the sun, but insulation? Is that possible? It is NOW. With Sonnette Cellular Roller Shades, the honeycomb cells flatten and roll into the headrail to disappear from view. Lower in place for insulation when you need it most!

 

Enhance the View
