Game Changer Alert: Why We're Obsessing Over Hunter Douglas's New Aura® Illuminated Shades


Hey design enthusiasts! The team at Tazz Shades is buzzing about something that's revolutionizing our window treatment game. Hunter Douglas dropped their Aura® Illuminated Shades, and our entire design studio hasn't stopped talking about them.


As a studio dedicated to creating perfect lighting solutions, we get pretty excited about innovations in our industry. But this? This is something else entirely. When our design team first saw these shades creating their own light instead of just filtering it, we knew we were looking at the future of window treatments.


Why Our Entire Team is Losing Sleep (In the Best Way!)


Let's talk about the wake-up feature that has our whole office chatting. As designers who've worked with countless bedroom spaces, we constantly hear about harsh alarm clocks ruining peaceful mornings. These shades actually simulate sunrise in your bedroom before dawn breaks – a feature that's completely transforming our clients' morning routines.


Three-in-One Design That Makes Our Designer Hearts Skip a Beat


Here's what has our team of designers absolutely thrilled:

- A luxurious textured front shade (we can't get over the fabric quality)

- A premium room-darkening liner (perfect for our home theater lovers)

- Built-in lighting that rivals our favorite light fixtures


Let's Talk About That Amazing Lighting Control


Here's the inside scoop from our installation team – the versatility is incredible. Our clients can:

- Adjust light levels from bright to dim (perfect for every mood)

- Switch between warm and cool lighting (goodbye, dreary days)

- Control fade speeds (for when the moment calls for drama)


The Tech That Makes Us Geek Out


The PowerView+™ Automation system has our tech team seriously impressed. It's hardwired (which means our service team can finally say goodbye to battery replacement calls!) and works seamlessly with their PowerView App. After installing virtually every smart shade system on the market, we can confidently say this one stands out. Our clients love that they can:

- Control both shade position and lighting

- Set personalized schedules

- Adjust everything through their phones

Success Stories from Our Design Studio


We're seeing incredible transformations in our clients' homes. Our work-from-home professionals are using the warm light settings during video calls for that perfect "golden hour" glow. Several of our clients who love entertaining have installed them in their dining rooms, creating magazine-worthy ambiance for dinner parties. The possibilities keep growing with each installation!


At Tazz Shades, we've built our reputation on honest, expert advice. Here's our collective verdict: If you're considering an upgrade to your window treatments and want something that's not just functional but truly transformative for your space, the Aura® Illuminated Shades are a game-changing investment.


They're more than just shades – they're a sophisticated blend of lighting design, window treatment, and smart home technology in one elegant package. And once you experience that gentle morning wake-up simulation, you'll understand why our entire team is raving about them.
