Here’s more about the Hunter Douglas Roman shades that we can install for you:

If your taste is refined and modern, the Vignette® Roman shade should suit your desires exceptionally.
The Allustra® Collection of Vignette®
The sibling of the classic Vignette®, the Allustra® collection caters to the modern homeowner who wants just a tinge more pomp and flair when it comes to his or her Roman shades. Don’t get the wrong idea though, they’re still relatively refined, sleek and sophisticated.

Best of all, they filter out the outside noise, so city-dwellers in high-traffic apartments are flocking to them. Give yourself true privacy with this stunning product.
