Solar and roller shades in a bright modern living room

Solar & Roller Shades

Clean lines, effortless light control, and lasting style — solar and roller shades are the modern choice for any room in your home.

Two Shades, One Smart Solution

Solar and roller shades share the same sleek, streamlined look — but each is engineered for a different purpose. Solar shades are designed to filter sunlight and reduce glare while preserving your view to the outside. Roller shades offer a wider range of opacities, from light-filtering sheers to room-darkening blackouts, giving you complete control over privacy and light.

Both styles are available in hundreds of fabrics, colors, and textures through the Graber collection. Custom Designs and Blinds measures and installs every shade to fit your windows perfectly.

Roller Shades

Simple, stylish, and endlessly versatile.

Roller shades roll up neatly into a slim cassette at the top of your window, keeping the look clean and uncluttered. Choose from light-filtering fabrics that soften the light to room-darkening options that block it out completely — perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, and anywhere privacy matters.
