Getting to Know Hunter Douglas Aura® Illuminated Shades
Some homeowners are fine with traditional window shades, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But others search for the latest, most innovative styles and proudly showcase them in their homes.
Our experts at Midwest Blind & Shade work with both kinds of clients. For the second category, we help them get to know Hunter Douglas Aura® Illuminated Shades. Some call the design revolutionary; that word certainly applies, but so do innovative, lovely, and magnificent.
What Are Hunter Douglas Aura® Illuminated Shades?
This Hunter Douglas window treatment creates its own illumination at your window. It’s a flexible light source that mimics the feel of daylight. Aura® Illuminated Shades put you in control with a textured front shade and a room-darkening liner with built-in lighting.
How Do Aura® Illuminated Shades Work?
PowerView+™ Automation is a motorized system that controls the Aura® Illuminated Shades and liner positioning, illumination strength, color, and tone. You can even adjust the speed at which the lights fade in and out. The lighting settings also include:
- Neutral.
- Warm.
- Cool.
Additionally, you can program Hunter Douglas Aura® Illuminated Shades to gently brighten your bedroom before the sun rises for a more natural morning awakening. Alternatively, add some light when it’s dim and cloudy outside, creating a pleasing effect.
How Does PowerView+™ Automation Work?
Hunter Douglas PowerView+™ Automation uses motorized technology to control window treatments, similar to the standard PowerView® Automation. You can open, close, and tilt them as desired with a remote, the PowerView® App, or voice commands. Its central hub connects to your home’s Wi-Fi and communicates with the window treatments.
You operate PowerView+™ Automation with voice commands, the PowerView® App, and the PowerView® Pebble® remote. PowerView+™ Automation is compatible with Aura® Illuminated Shades for optimum effects.
Which Aura® Illuminated Shades Style is Best?
That answer is up to you, of course, but it helps to compare the three available styles:
- Designer Roller Shades: This horizontal window treatment is timeless and sophisticated. Made from a single fabric panel, it comes in over 350 options, from sheer to opaque, including globally sourced, exclusive fabrics.
- Vignette® Roman Shades: These elegant Roman shades come in two styles. The Stacking Style has a 4” full fold and stacks beneath a low-profile headrail for shallow mounting depths, and the Rolling Style offers a 4” full fold or 6” flat fold and rolls into the headrail.
- Sonnette® Roller Shades: This unique window covering offers cellular and roller shade construction with an insulating barrier. The style comes in over 50 fabrics, and its gentle curves add unique design appeal.
