Our 3 Favorite Sheer Shades for Letting in Light
Shades are more than just a pretty piece of fabric on our windows. While they do enhance our home’s beauty, they also allow us to enjoy privacy, light filtration, and a plethora of other benefits depending on what type of shade you choose.
For example, energy-efficient shades will keep your home naturally comfortable all year long and help reduce your home’s energy usage. Roller and solar shades, on the other hand, will help block out a significant amount of UV light while still allowing you to enjoy soft sunshine. Roman shades allow you to enjoy a crisp, minimalist style that transforms sunlight and provides superior room-darkening.
Of course, selecting the best shade for your home can be a little overwhelming. That is where our team at Classic Interiors comes in. For the ultimate in light and view-through, we recommend innovative sheer shades from Hunter Douglas.
#1: Enjoy Light and Privacy with Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Known as the pioneers of light filtration, Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades are excellent at transforming harsh sunlight into a gorgeous glow throughout your home. This is thanks to their S-shaped fabric vanes that float between two sheer panels. This provides both daytime privacy and diffused light—the best of both worlds when it comes to sheer shadings!
Additionally, Silhouette® Sheer Shades provide UV protection that lets you enjoy natural lighting while protecting your furniture and flooring against fading. In addition to working hard to transform sunlight, these sheer shades also come in a variety of fabric colors that let you enhance your home with a style that you adore.
#2: Pirouette® Sheer Shades
If you have wide windows or sliding glass doors, then finding sheer shades that are easy to operate and provide ample light filtration is a must. That is why we adore Pirouette® Sheer Shades from Hunter Douglas. Featuring soft fabric vanes whose shape changes on command, Pirouette® Sheer Shades control light and provide UV protection beautifully. Plus if you want to have a cohesive style throughout your home, Pirouette® Sheer Shades come with a Whole House Solution™ for vertical and horizontal windows, which means you can have these gorgeous sheer shades featured throughout your entire home.
#3: Luminette® Sheer Panels
Last but not least on our list of favorite sheers shades for lighting are Luminette® Sheer Panels from Hunter Douglas. Ideal for wide windows, the drapery-like sheers exude a soft glow throughout any room in your home. These sheer shades were distinctly designed to provide ample light control and privacy, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Simply rotate the fabric vanes to your desired position and allow the shades to do the rest. Providing a buffer between the interiors of your home and the sun, Luminette® Sheer Panels are also excellent when it comes to UV protection. These Hunter Douglas shades also come in a variety of gorgeous colors for you to choose from.
