Sheer Beauty That Transforms Your Light

Extraordinary Versatility in a Fabric Shading

Adjustable vanes attached to a sheer backing give Pirouette® Sheer Shades a sleek, minimalist appeal. They provide gentle light diffusion, and their wide vanes balance large windows. Sheer shades are an excellent way to conceal undesirable views without darkening the room; consider the ClearView® feature to enjoy an unobscured view without losing privacy.

Sheer Fabric for Light, Vertical Vanes for Privacy

Luminette® Sheer Panels are fantastic for tall or expansive windows and doors. Combining opaque vanes within individual sheer panels gives them the best attributes of vertical blinds and light-filtering material. Luminette® Sheer Panels are also a great solution for privacy and security on sidelights.

Consider Motorized Sheer Shades

Motorized sheer shades are a convenient upgrade for your NYC home. The lightweight fabric makes them an excellent solution for oversized windows, but manual operation can be challenging, especially on floor-to-ceiling designs. PowerView® Automation and SoftTouch® Motorization are whisper-quiet, reliable, and user-friendly.

Best Spaces for Hunter Douglas Sheer Shades

Sheer shades enhance natural light, which is great for offices, playrooms, living, and dining rooms. If layering suits your style, you can hang them in bedrooms with an opaque window covering, like drapery. They’re also an attractive option for windows in well-ventilated bathrooms.

Caring for Sheer Fabric Shades

As unexciting as it may be, regularly cleaning sheer shades will maintain an appearance fitting for chic NYC interiors. Gently remove dust with a vacuum upholstery brush or compressed air to keep it from impeding the shades’ light-diffusing quality. We recommend keeping your sheer shades dry, but spot cleaning effectively eliminates small stains or other imperfections. Avoid harsh chemicals on the delicate fabric, and always perform a spot test before cleaning.

Custom Sheer Shades FAQs

Sheer fabric doesn’t provide the same level of privacy as thicker materials. While people won’t have a clear view into your home, silhouettes will be visible.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Pirouette® Sheer Shades are available for many window shapes, including arches, angles, circles, and French doors. This versatility makes coordinating your window coverings an easy task.
Elegance always has a place in interior design, and sheer shades have plenty of it. Their extensive selection of fabrics and colors makes them adaptable to various aesthetics.
Sheer material isn’t as robust as wood or vinyl but will last several years with proper care. Upgrading your sheer shades with motorization can extend their lifespan by using consistent force to lift, lower, and reduce contact that can leave fingerprints or stains.
Use the surrounding décor as a guide for selecting your shades. Determine if you want your sheer shades to blend in or make a statement; our designers are happy to help you find the perfect color!
