No living room is complete without the right window treatments. And when you explore the variety of custom shades from Hunter Douglas, you’ll have a fun time customizing your fabrics, operating systems, and colors for your new living room decor. You’ll also find a few pleasant surprises when you explore the options available for your living room shades.

Designer Roller Shades

Many modern homes, such as homes that adhere to mid-century modern design philosophy, feature minimal lines and rooms with little distinction from each other. For these types of homes with a cleaner layout, you may struggle to find custom shades that don’t interrupt the careful flow of your home. 

One great option for a clean and simple style is the Designer Roller Shades collection. Made with a delightfully simple design, your living room shades will provide confident shade whenever you need it without making your windows feel cluttered. Even the head rail is designed for subtlety, helping to keep your home feeling serene. 

If you really want to keep your shades as minimal as possible, you need to look into PowerView® Automation. With no need for adjustment cords, your shades will look sleek and fresh.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades

Woven wood shades can enhance the style of any home thanks to a variety of custom options for your preferred weave style, color, and opacity. Offered in a sleek and simple shape, the Provenance® Woven Woods Shades style is another great choice for modern homes where you’ll want to maintain an uncluttered look. Thanks to the organic materials and beautifully woven fabric, you’ll be able to balance out your style with dynamic textures. 

 

The warm wood style of these shades will also be an ideal match for traditional homes with a classic look.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

No matter what kind of windows you have in your living room, Duette® Honeycomb Shades will be a great fit. If you need to find a stylish shade for your sliding glass door, then you can add the available Vertiglide™ system. And if you have skylights letting natural light into your living room, you can get light control and insulation for them using the SkyLift™ Skylight system.
