3 Ways to Use Modern Roman Shades in 2025
In the Bedroom and Guest Rooms
We like using Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades to elevate the bedrooms of a home, be that master, kid, or guest, because they have multiple upgraded operating systems available to expand light control.
- Duolite®: This system creates blackout shades in the bedroom for better sleeping conditions. The advanced system adds a secondary, room-darkening shade to the back of Vignette® Roman Shades for a multi-modal window treatment.
- PowerView® Automation: For ultimate user convenience, we especially like PowerView® shades in children's rooms. The motorized operating system transforms the treatments into cordless Roman shades that are more child-safe.
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up: Protect your privacy in the bedroom while still enjoying the benefits of natural light with this innovative operating system that allows Vignette® Roman Shades to open from the top down.
Thanks to the flexible installation options for Vignette® Roman Shades, they can be fashioned as Roman shades for doors (sliding glass doors and French doors) or windows for complete coverage.
In the Dining Room or Home Office
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades elevate sophisticated home rooms with exclusive and unique fabric options. These shades help homeowners create a more visually appealing and functional space for each room's unique needs.
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up: In the home office, this multidirectional system allows workers to block distracting views while still permitting natural light, creating workspaces engineered for productivity.
- PowerView® Automation: Since PowerView® creates cordless Roman shades, this operating system elevates dining rooms with a chic, seamless look and easy control.
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades can be customized to the needs of each room with sheer, semi-sheer, and semi-opaque fabric options. We especially like using this style of Hunter Douglas Roman shades on broad windows because it has a Two-on-One headrail design available.
In the Bathroom
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades bring a sense of spa-like serenity to home restrooms. The unique textiles woven from organic materials like wood, reeds, grass, and bamboo create a natural sense of beauty to elevate what is often considered a very functional space.
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up: Like many Hunter Douglas Roman shades, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades can be installed in windows with the Top-Down/Bottom-Up system. This allows homeowners to balance privacy and natural illumination, both of utmost importance in a bathroom.
- PowerView® Automation: This advanced motorized system is compatible with existing home assistants and smart home programs for automated control, so homeowners never have to worry about their bathroom shades.
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades can be fashioned as classic Roman shades, waterfall Roman shades, or recessed Roman shades and further customized with over 80 fabric options.
