Aura® Illuminated Shades certainly have an attention-grabbing name, but do they follow through on their promise? Our In the Shade design experts in Stuart, Florida, think so. This window covering technology, courtesy of Hunter Douglas, uses built-in illumination for a breathtaking aesthetic. It’s wildly popular this summer, and we’re proud to offer it.
What Styles Offer Aura® Illuminated Shades?
This award-winning, three-in-one design has a textured front shade, a room-darkening liner, and built-in LED illumination. The front and back shades operate independently. It’s offered as an enhancement with these styles:
- Stacking Style Vignette® Roman Shade: Available in nine fabrics, with a 4” full fold and a customized, fabric-covered Aura® Illuminated Shades headrail.
- Designer Roller Shades: This style comes in 12 fabric selections, with semi-sheer and semi-opaque front fabrics and room-darkening, reflective back liners. The headrail is called Painted A Deux.
- Sonnette® Roller Shades: As a hybrid window treatment, Sonnette® Roller Shades add insulation through an integrated roller shade and honeycomb design. They’re the most energy-efficient choice for Aura® Illuminated Shades.

How Aura® Illuminated Shades Beautify Living Space
These light-enhancing window treatments offer remarkable versatility for interior spaces. The integrated lighting system blends soft, warm, artificial illumination with natural light. You can adjust the shade position and light intensity independently, giving you countless combinations for different times of day and night. Think of how that’d look in the evening when you have guests over.
The brightness levels range from dim to bright and warm to cool; the Hunter Douglas fabric options include various colors and opacities, allowing you to customize the light quality and visual impact. That kind of flexibility makes them suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and even commercial spaces where privacy and ambiance matter.
It comes down to this: Have you ever had a window treatment that you could customize to control:
- Shade and liner positioning
- Illumination strength
- Color
- Tone
Keep in mind that those adjustments require almost no effort on your part. That’s the appeal of Aura® Illuminated Shades.
