For a window covering that is versatile, attractive and effective for controlling light, roller shades are a good choice for windows in any room. Shades were once simple items that blocked light but came in few colors or styles. But today, any imaginable color, texture and pattern can be found on shades in order to match any d'cor. There are also a wide range of thicknesses available, giving a deeper dimension to the texture of shades as well as offering more control over light levels.

Hunter Douglas roller shades have a complete collection of roller shades that not only incorporate the many style variations, but also varied hems and rods. Remembrance Roller Shades have many different styles of hem to choose from, giving homeowners a much larger array of styles. Along with the standard hem familiar to most roller shades, there are also several stylized designs that add an extra dimension and personalization to the shades. Hem styles can be chosen to coordinate with the available styles and colors to create any look required. In addition to the hem styles, Hunter Douglas Roller Shades also have intricate trim styles available. Coordinating the hem, trim, texture and color of shades creates a personalized look that rivals custom made roller shades.

Once the style and color of the shades have been chosen, there are also shades that employ different methods of closure. The standard Hunter Douglas Roller Shade models are constructed with a cord loop, driven by a chain and clutch operated. This type of shade can be made to roll down either in front or in back of the roller. For those with children who may come in contact with the shades, the SoftRise spring lift roller shades uses a spring instead of a continuous cord. This provides an extra measure of safety and efficiency, as the spring loaded shades have no looped cord and are simple to operate. The standard cassette system offers another style of roller shade construction. The cassette system comes with a covered area at the top to conceal the rolled shade. This cassette can come with either a fabric covered cassette or one without fabric. There is also further personalization available in the size of the cassette, which can be small, or a more prominent large cassette.

To keep these shades in their best possible condition, Hunter Douglas Remembrance Roller Shades with the spring lift or cassette system come with yet another option to improve the life of the shades. By using an optional decorative pull, the shade never has to be touched and stained by repeated contact. The pulls come in several colors and in even more decorative shapes. These colors and styles can then be coordinated with style and pattern of the shade.

The entire window, covered with a Hunter Douglas Roller Shade, becomes a complete system allowing in as little or as much light as desired. The thickness and texture of the roller shades make curtains or other window treatments unnecessary. And, with the level of style and personalization available with Hunter Douglas Roller Shades, there's little chance that an owner would desire to keep them covered.
