Window Shade Styles We Carry

No two rooms have the same lighting, the same architecture, or the same purpose. That is why we offer a wide selection of shade styles, each one built to order in the size, color, and opacity level you need. Here is a closer look at the options available through our Gettysburg showroom.

Cellular Shades (Honeycomb Shades)

Cellular shades, also called honeycomb shades, are built with a distinctive layered structure that traps air inside individual pockets. That trapped air acts as insulation, helping keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. For Gettysburg homeowners dealing with drafty older windows or rising energy costs, cellular shades are one of the most effective upgrades you can make. Single-cell designs work well for moderate insulation, while double-cell options provide an even higher level of thermal performance.

Available in sheer, light-filtering, and full blackout fabrics, cellular shades adapt to virtually any room in your home. Popular applications include bedrooms, nurseries, living rooms, and any space where temperature control and quiet comfort are a priority.

Roller Shades

Roller shades are the definition of clean and simple. A single piece of fabric rolls up neatly around a tube at the top of the window, giving you a streamlined look with no visible slats, cords, or stacked material. This minimalist profile makes roller shades a natural fit for modern interiors, home offices, and open-concept living spaces. Despite their simplicity, roller shades are incredibly versatile.

You can choose from hundreds of fabrics ranging from sheer to complete blackout, and from neutral solids to bold patterns and textures. Motorized roller shades are also a popular upgrade for homeowners who want one-touch or voice-activated control.

Roman Shades

Roman shades combine the soft elegance of drapery with the precision of a fitted shade. When raised, the fabric folds into neat horizontal pleats. When lowered, it lies flat against the window for a smooth, tailored look. Roman shades are a favorite among homeowners who want their window treatments to feel like a genuine design feature rather than a purely functional addition. 

Available in flat-fold, hobbled, and balloon styles, Roman shades work beautifully in dining rooms, master bedrooms, and formal living areas. They pair well with existing curtains or stand on their own as a statement piece. Our design consultants can help you choose a fabric that ties the entire room together.

Solar Shades

Solar shades are engineered to reduce glare and block UV rays while still letting you see through the window. They work by filtering sunlight through a tightly woven mesh fabric, cutting heat gain and protecting your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading. 

If you have a room with large windows, a sunroom, or a home office where screen glare is a problem, solar shades offer a practical solution that does not require you to sacrifice your view. Openness ratings range from 1% (maximum UV blocking) to 14% (maximum visibility), so you can dial in the exact balance of light and protection you want.

Motorized and Smart Shades

Motorized shades bring convenience and modern technology to any window in your home. With the press of a button, a voice command, or a scheduled routine, your shades open and close on their own. This is especially valuable for hard-to-reach windows, skylights, and large window walls where manual operation would be impractical. 

Today’s motorized shade systems integrate with smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, so you can control your shades alongside your lights, thermostat, and other connected devices. Battery-powered options make installation simple without the need for new wiring. Our team handles the full setup, from programming to pairing with your existing smart home system.

Woven Wood and Natural Fiber Shades

Woven wood shades bring the texture and warmth of natural materials into your home. Crafted from bamboo, jute, grasses, and other organic fibers, these shades add depth and character that you simply cannot get from synthetic fabrics.

They work particularly well in casual living spaces, covered porches, and rooms where you want an earthy, layered look. Because natural fibers vary in color and texture from piece to piece, every woven wood shade has a look that is uniquely its own. Privacy liners and blackout backings are available for rooms where you need additional light control.
