Designing with Innovative Sheer Shades

Is there anything better than letting a little light into our lives? When it comes to the home, the statement light makes is quite literal. Letting in ample sunlight throughout the year not only opens up a room, but it also allows us to enjoy the space throughout the day.

Of course, too much sunlight can cause some problems. We don’t want to deal with glare, UV damage, and an intense brightness that makes us want to reach for our sunglasses when we enjoy some sunshine inside our homes. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas has created the pioneer of light transformation to make sure that you enjoy only the best parts of natural lighting: innovative sheer shades that combine the openness of a sheer with the privacy of a blind.

Perk 1: A Soft Glow

One of the main perks of sheer shades for homes is that they transform harsh sunlight into a soft glow throughout your home: No more glare, no more needing to reach for your sunglasses. In fact, Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades feature S-shaped fabric vanes that float between two sheer panels. This provides gorgeous, diffused light and daytime privacy. Silhouette® Sheer Shades also provide UV protection, keeping your furniture, flooring, artwork, and upholstery from fading throughout the years.

Perk 2: More Than Light Control

Of course, Silhouette® Sheer Shades do more than just light control. In fact, you can achieve light control and room darkening in one with the Duolite® system or the available A Deux™ design. This lets you enjoy gorgeous lighting when you want or complete darkness when you want. This is a great option for media rooms and bedrooms! On the other hand, if you desire complete and total views to the great outdoors, our ClearView® sheers will allow you to achieve just that. No matter your operational needs, Silhouette® Sheer Shades are here to impress.

Perk 3: Specialty Shapes

No two window treatments are alike, which is why no shade should be fashioned to fit just one type of window. Another one of the perks of sheer shades for homes is that they can be custom made to fit nearly all the windows in your home. Specialty shapes for Silhouette® Sheer Shades include arches, angles, trapezoids, circles, ovals, bay windows, corner windows, patio and sliding-glass doors, French doors, and sidelights. Plus, with over 150 colors and fabric options available, our Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades can be tailored even further to your liking. If you need help color coordinating, or are looking for some color inspiration, our friendly team of experts can help you find the perfect hue that matches your home’s aesthetics.
