At A Shade Better, our staff is professionally trained and certified by Hunter Douglas.  Established in 1989, we were the first Hunter Douglas Gallery dealer in North Carolina.  We can offer you expert product knowledge and design expertise.  Laura Lister and Cheri Johnson are our resident professional designers.  They are on staff and available to assist you with all the best information to help you make the right designs to best compliment your home.

A Shade Better specializes in Hunter Douglas shutters, along with several other high-end shutter brands.  We offer a wide selection of styles that will bring a distinct style and sophistication to your home.  Heritance Hardwood shutters were named, “Product of the Year” by the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WMCA) in 2014.  Their plantation style shutters are manufactured with premium wood and dovetail construction providing unmatched strength and durability.  Finishes such as glazed, heirloom distressed, textured and rustic, mean there is a color and texture to suit any décor.  Their newest, Handcrafted series, are custom built to order (like all their shutters) with the elegance of genuine wood and artistic flair.  

A Shade Better also offers many gorgeous shade options.   We carry the complete line of Hunter Douglas shades.   They have defined the industry with proprietary products that offer pioneering style and state-of-the-art functionality.  Hunter Douglas Silhouette and Luminette shades are offered in many colors from intense hues to natural neutrals.  Hunter Douglas Cellular and Pleated shades are created in rich fabrics that are consistently recognized for excellence in energy savings, design, styling, enhanced safety systems, quality and selection.  

Almost 50% of a home’s energy is lost through its windows.  Hunter Douglas has engineered innovative, energy efficient window fashions that can significantly reduce energy loss and save on heating and cooling costs.  In turn, this contributes to protecting our environment.  The Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shade was developed with this in mind and was completely revolutionary at the time.  The trademark honeycomb construction traps air inside the cells to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  

You will also discover a unique selection of beautiful blind options at A Shade Better.  They come in a range of styles including wood, faux wood, metal and vertical blinds.  We carry our own American Classic line in addition to the Hunter Douglas brand.  Blinds provide enhanced privacy while also adding texture, color and beauty to your space.  Our stylish blinds can be used as an under treatment, but they are attractive enough to stand on their own with a simple valance.  With so many styles and materials to choose from, our blind selection is sure to compliment every design taste and budget.  

In 1946, Hunter Douglas first introduced Venetian Blinds.  Over the years they have become a design classic for windows.  The enduring charm of Venetian Blinds is found in their versatility with precision control of light intensity and direction with the easy twist of a wand or pull of a cord.  This technology now comes in high quality materials and dozens of colors, finishes and slat sizes for countless combinations that can easily match your decorating style.
