Living in Daphne, Alabama means enjoying the best of coastal life—mild winters, hot and humid summers, and plenty of bright sunshine year-round. With that climate comes the need for smart, stylish window treatments that can handle the heat while enhancing your home’s Southern charm. That’s where the Hunter Douglas Sonnette™ comes in—a perfect blend of roller shade simplicity and cellular shade energy efficiency. Here’s why Daphne homeowners are making the switch:
Energy Efficiency: Perfect for the Gulf Coast Climate
The Sonnette™ shade’s innovative cellular design features curved, honeycomb-like air pockets that insulate your windows—helping keep hot air out during steamy Alabama summers and warm air in during cooler months. This insulation not only keeps your home more comfortable but can help lower your energy bills, especially during peak cooling season.
Soft, Southern Light—Without the Glare
Unlike traditional roller shades, the Sonnette™ gently diffuses incoming light with its double-layered fabric, filling your rooms with a soft, ambient glow. It’s the ideal way to enjoy natural light without harsh glare—perfect for sun-soaked spaces in Daphne homes.
Style That Fits the Eastern Shore Aesthetic
Whether your home is a coastal cottage, modern farmhouse, or classic Southern traditional, there’s a Sonnette™ shade for every style. With over 50 colors and fabrics to choose from (including semi-opaque and room-darkening options), they’re a beautiful complement to any Daphne décor.
Safe, Seamless, and Smart Operation
The cordless design (LiteRise® or SoftTouch®) keeps things safe for children and pets while maintaining a clean, clutter-free look. For added convenience in busy households, PowerView® motorization lets you schedule, automate, and control your shades with your voice or smartphone.
UV Protection, Sound Reduction & Privacy
The Sonnette™'s cellular construction not only helps with insulation but also dampens outside noise, which is perfect if you're near busy streets or active neighborhoods. Many fabrics also offer excellent UV protection, helping to preserve your floors and furnishings from Alabama’s intense sun exposure.
Sleek, Light-Blocking Finish
Add the Kickback™ feature for an even tighter fit—this option curves the shade closer to the window when lowered, reducing light leaks and giving your windows a polished, custom appearance. It’s a clean, sophisticated look that fits Daphne’s upscale yet relaxed vibe.
Trusted Quality, Local Service
Backed by the quality of Hunter Douglas and supported locally by Bumble Bee Blinds of Mobile, you’ll enjoy a worry-free experience—from expert measuring and design to professional installation. Plus, the Sonnette™ shade comes with a strong warranty and lasting durability.
