Window coverings come in many shapes and sizes. Along with the design aesthetic is how the overall functionality fits into your home. Cellular shade features are not here to ‘throw shade’ at other window coverings, but they are a big hit with homeowners for many reason. Great for insulation and room-darkening qualities, they also look beautiful and protect your space from heat and too much light. Learn more about why we love a good cellular shade and how to incorporate them into your space.
Style Your Home
Cellular shades come in different styles to fit your home’s unique needs. Duette Honeycomb Shades are a top seller because of their award-winning energy efficiency and pleated look. This design lets the shade do the work of keeping sunlight at a minimum in your space while also looking stunning with lots of choices in color.

Let’s switch things up for a vertical view with the Duette Vertiglide collection. We love the versatility of a vertical cellular shade because it also protects the space, comes in many fabrics, and offers automation features that work great for covering larger doors and windows. The uniform stacking feature keeps the shade looking beautiful while protecting your space from too much sunlight, and it opens to let you take in a fantastic view.

Looking for something a bit more unique yet still versatile? Look no further than the newest kid on the block: The Sonnette Collection. As a cellular shade that rolls, the honeycomb structure still affords the luxurious fabrics and style you love while providing energy efficiency for the home. Simply roll the shades for an effortless look to make insulating your space a cinch. Also available is the innovative illumination technology of Aura, which offers LED lighting at the window.

Let’s Talk Design
Why do we love a good cellular shade? When we look at the cellular shade structure, the technology is simply amazing. A honeycomb shade provides energy efficiency by trapping interior air for better insulation in your home. This layer of insulation prevents outside air from negatively affecting the interior air and heating up your space. Just think of cellular shades as the good guys of the window covering world. They are here to make your space look and feel amazing while keeping the temperature at a reasonable setting. When it’s hot outside, it can be cool to be inside.

Amazing Features
While energy efficiency is important in the cellular shade collection, there are many amazing reasons why people are choosing this window treatment for their homes. Cellular shades are shaping up to be the best way to bring the heat down inside while still being visually appealing on the outside. What’s not to love about that? Take a look at some of the hottest cellular shade features to see for yourself.
Innovative Control
There is simply no mistaking that the world has gone tech wild. Cellular shades are here for it. Check out the best ways to keep your home looking and feeling cool while staying current (as the kids say). Motorized blinds let you keep control of your home’s insulation and privacy features. With a tap or voice command, voila! Instant change in perspective. Convenient? Check! Energy efficient? Check! Also, check off this fantastic feature of setting schedules for the best time of day to let in the sun or keep it at bay. For times when you need less sun, there’s an app for that.
