The results are in! We’ve got the list of top window covering features that are the most popular for homeowners in Roseville and the surrounding areas. We are exploring automated shades, energy savings, covering large windows & more! We know your home is unique to you, but here in California, we are all dealing with the same weather and sunshine. It’s common to love similar features and benefits…
PowerView® Automation
It’s no secret that many homes are turning toward smart home technology, which means smart shades and automation are at the top of our favorites list. The convenience and ease you’ll experience is a game-changer. There’s app control for scheduling and scene setting. You can integrate your motorized window treatments with your smart home system for voice control and synced-up adjustments.

Light-Filtering & Room-Darkening Combinations
It’s soft, beautiful light when you want it–and a dark, blissful atmosphere when you need it most. That’s right–you deserve to have your cake and eat it, too. (Or, as we like to say: Have your light & block it, too!) If this incredible range of light control sounds good to you, we’ve got options. Our dual shade system allows you to pair two shade portions on the same window–in the same headrail. A sheer or light filtering fabric is designated for one, and a room-darkening or blackout fabric for the other. These two fabric options operate independent of each other so you can always have the control you want. Some of our sheer shades also offer the chance to get two completely different light control solutions at the same window–in one shade. Your window covering specialist will be able to show you how to achieve this advanced control.
Glass Door Solutions
No surprise here! We love our sliding doors, french doors and patio doors! But, how are you supposed to cover them? What are the possibilities? Our window covering designers work with clients every day that need glass door solutions, and we love presenting the wide selection of choices we offer. We consider the kind of doors you have, the way you use them and the type of coverage that will work best to give you the solutions you need. And, best of all, we want everything to coordinate beautifully!
Top Down Bottom Up Shades
Intense sunshine and heat are a troublesome combination. Many California homeowners are searching for ways to enjoy the natural light and outdoor views, while cutting the glare and keeping out the heat. The top down feature allows for sunlight to enter across the ceiling, which illuminates the space. The rest of the window is still covered, which means you’re blocking the heat from entering, while also reducing direct light and glare. And, you can enjoy privacy and tree-top views.
Woven Woods & Natural Fibers
One of the top window covering favorites, it’s our Provenance woven wood shades collection. These woven shades feature natural elements, including woods, grasses, reeds and bamboo. They offer a stunning look at the window–a design statement of texture, color and weave. With options for energy efficiency and light control, you can have the style you desire with all of the functional benefits.
And speaking of luxury woven fabrics, we couldn’t put this list of window covering features together without mentioning how much our clients love the curated collection of high-end fabrics for the Alustra® Woven Textures lineup. With delicate, woven details and one-of-kind color-ways, these shades create a dynamic look at the window.
Blackout Solutions for Bedrooms
It’s California–no wonder everyone is loving blackout window coverings. We love that sunshine, but we also need to block it out. Especially for sleep. Outfit your bedroom with room-darkening blinds or blackout drapes that create the dark sanctuary you’ve always dreamed of! (Pun intended!) From blackout roller shades, to cellular shades that feature a specialized channel that seals out the light, we can help you customize the bedroom light control of your home.
Energy Efficient Cellular Shades
Do you know what’s cool? Window treatments that maintain consistent temperatures in your home so your heating and cooling bills don’t skyrocket. Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades are the ideal way to insulate your windows–keeping out the hot air of summer time, but also the winter chill. They don’t have to be blackout shades, either. When it comes to cellular shades, it’s the structure of the cellular pleats that insulate your interiors. Choose your favorite fabric opacity, from sheer or light-filtering, to room darkening or blackout.
Layered Window Treatments
Just like the perfect outfit, there is beautiful style in layering window treatments–not to mention the functional benefits. Better yet, we’ll mention them both! By layering drapery with shades, you’ll enhance the design with varying colors and patterns that complement each other. The dimension of fabrics at the window will bring height to the room with unparalleled softness. As for the function, shades and drapes really are the perfect pairing! Close the shades, while framing the window with the side panels of drapery, for one atmosphere, or close everything up for a totally different environment. Levels of light control, privacy and energy efficiency can all be the result of choosing to layer at the window, and your window covering specialist will have some helpful guidance for you! This is a great option when covering large windows in your home.
Motorized Roller Shades
We’ve already mentioned that motorized window treatments are all the rage. Even more than that, it’s motorized roller shades that California homeowners are most interested in. The clean lines, the ability for the shade to instantly roll up and disappear, and the way they can effortlessly adjust into place on a hot summer day–these are some of the favorite features our clients have been loving. The modern look of today’s roller shades are an incredible way to style the windows in your home, and adding them to windows with black trim is a design trend that won’t be going anywhere soon.
Designer Banded Shades
The unique collection of Zebra Shades can deliver softened natural light and views, or privacy and room darkening, with a single rotation. Due to the double layer of shade fabrics–with alternating solid and sheer designs–a simple twist transitions your atmosphere in an instant. With Hunter Douglas, your choices are not limited to the striped option available from so many other companies. Designer Banded Shades can be customized in geometric shapes, creating a wall of style instead of just a window.
Plantation Shutters
As one of our most popular products, it’s no surprise that shutters made our top 10 window covering favorites. Shutters provide solutions and stunning style, plus they’re durable, making them a fantastic option for high-traffic areas. When designing your windows with shutters, you’ve got style choices, including paints or stains on real wood shutters, man-made composites that can feature the look of paints or stains, and our white vinyl shutters that are even capable of being motorized.
Roman Shades in Neutral Fabrics
There’s something special about roman shades. Timeless design, always in style–the folded fabrics soften the room and create visual interest, even in neutral fabrics. On trend, neutral roman shades are a classic choice–they appear refined and elegant, never overwhelming the space. Our Vignette® collection of roman shades offers a unique feature–the option for rolling romans. Within this collection, you can either choose romans that gather as they rise, or roll up into the headrail to disappear like roller shades.
