What Are Aura® Illuminated Shades?

Aura® Illuminated Shades pair a Designer Roller Shade or Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shade with a sleek, architectural headrail and built-in accent lighting. Built-in accent lighting softly illuminates the shade from behind, creating a warm, ambient glow that enhances the atmosphere of any room. Even when the shades are closed, the lighting adds depth and visual interest, making your window coverings a true focal point.

What We Offer

At Custom Shades, we carry Aura® Illuminated Shades with a Designer Roller or Sonnette® Cellular Roller front shade, available in an array of fabrics, colours, and styles. Our experts will help you select the ideal combination to suit your room and lighting goals. Visit our showroom to see Aura® in person and discover how it can transform your interior with both elegant style and gentle illumination.

“
Working with Custom Shades of London was a very easy experience. Vanessa Vitta
was professional and knowledgeable as to what I required, and answered all my questions.
She was great. Ben, the installer, also very professional, and did the installation on time
and also did a great job. I would highly recommend them both, as well as Custom Shades
of London.

We are super happy with our experience at Custom Shades. Vanessa, particularly, was excellent to work with. We really appreciated their willingness to bring product samples to our house, so we could be confident about our purchase. It's a big investment to redo blinds on an entire floor.

I have Hunter Douglas power honey comb blinds that I bought10 years ago. The store went out of business. When the clip and battery holder broke Custom Shades were so helpful. They gave me the clip and the batery holder to replace the old ones. Ben was super helpful as was Patty. Customer service was absolutely amazing. Strongly recommend the for shades and shutters

The best customer service in London!

The store is beautifully laid out, clean and organized. Patty and Sydney went completely out of their way to help me with a couple of used blinds I had.

The merchandise is first class! If you want to be tested with kindness, respect and interest, this is your store!
