Our Roller Collections: Designer, Aura™ Illuminated & Graber
Three collections, one standard: custom-built to your window's exact measurements and installed by our own team. Tap any photo to browse each collection.
Designer Roller Shades
The definitive modern roller: hundreds of fabrics from airy sheers and view-preserving screens to dense blackouts, with clean cassette or minimal open-roll hardware. Skyline™ panel variants handle wide spans, and PowerView® runs whole rooms on schedule.
- Sheer, screen, light-filtering & blackout fabrics
- Cassette or minimal open-roll mounts
- PowerView® motorization & wide-span options
Aura™ Illuminated Shades
The shade that's also a light: Aura™ builds dimmable, tunable LED lighting into the shade itself — soft ambient glow at night, warm-to-cool white on demand, all from the PowerView® app. Blackout fabric plus built-in lighting makes it the ultimate media room and bedroom shade.
- Integrated dimmable, tunable LED lighting
- Blackout shade + ambient light in one
- App, remote & voice control via PowerView®
Graber Roller & Dual Shades
Clean rollers at whole-home value — wide fabric and opacity ranges, cordless and motorized lifts, and Graber's dual shades: two rollers on one headrail, a view-preserving screen in front of a blackout behind, so one window switches from daylight to movie-dark.
- Wide fabric & opacity ranges at value pricing
- Dual shades: screen + blackout on one headrail
- Cordless and motorized lift options
Screen, light-filtering, or blackout? We'll bring the fabric decks — and a working Aura™.

The Minimalist That Works the Hardest
No slats, no folds, no fuss — a roller shade disappears into the window and lets the fabric choice do everything.
Modern Interiors
The flattest profile of any treatment — a clean fabric plane that suits black-frame windows, minimalist renovations, and rooms where less is the design.
Media Rooms & Bedrooms
True blackout fabrics turn afternoon into midnight — and Aura™ adds dimmable ambient light for when the movie ends.
View Windows
Screen fabrics cut glare and UV while keeping the trees, the skyline, the yard — the shade you forget is down.
Kitchens & Baths
Smooth, wipeable fabrics with no slats to dust — the easiest treatment to live with in working rooms.
Day/Night Windows
Graber dual shades stack a screen and a blackout on one headrail — one window, two completely different rooms.
Whole-Home Motorization
Rollers are the natural PowerView® canvas: schedules, scenes, voice — every shade in the house moving at sunset.
The honest boundaries: rollers don't insulate like cellular shades and don't dress a window like Romans — they win on cleanliness, fabric range, and price. Most whole-home projects use rollers as the backbone and layer the statement rooms.
Roller Shades for Northern Virginia Homes
Rollers are the region's fastest-growing pick for a reason: new builds across Loudoun and Fairfax ship with black-frame windows that beg for a clean fabric plane, DC and Arlington condos need treatments that vanish into shallow openings, and older homes with updated windows get a crisp modern reset without a renovation. Screen fabrics have been especially popular on west-facing family rooms — glare handled, sunset kept.
Every project starts with a free in-home consultation: fabric decks from all three collections, a working Aura™ demo if you're curious about the light, precise measuring, and an exact quote — or visit our showrooms in Vienna, Herndon, and Alexandria.
Roller Shades FAQ
Aren't roller shades just the cheap big-box option?
The vinyl pull-down of memory, yes. Custom rollers are a different product: designer fabrics measured to the millimeter, cassette hardware that finishes the window like trim, true blackout construction, and motorization — the same shade you see in high-end modern builds. The fabric and the fit are the whole game.
What are Aura™ Illuminated Shades?
A Hunter Douglas roller shade with dimmable, tunable LED lighting built into the shade itself — blackout fabric for total darkness, then soft ambient glow on demand, warm to cool, all controlled from the PowerView® app, remote, or voice. It's a shade and a light fixture in one, and it's best understood by seeing one on — which we can arrange.
Can roller shades make a bedroom or media room fully dark?
Yes — blackout roller fabrics block the light through the fabric itself, and side channels or careful outside-mounting handle the edge glow. For one window that needs both daylight and darkness, Graber dual shades pair a view screen and a blackout on one headrail.
How much do custom roller shades cost?
Rollers are among the most budget-friendly custom treatments per window — fabric grade, size, cassette choice, and motorization move the number, and Aura™ sits at the premium end. We quote exactly, in your home, for free, with promotions up to 40% off and 18-month 0% APR financing available.
Can I see roller shades on my own window before ordering?
Yes — upload a photo to our free AI visualizer and see Designer Roller Shades, Aura™, or Graber rollers rendered on your actual window in about 10 seconds. Then at your free consultation we bring the fabric decks, because opacity is a decision to make against your own light.
