Fabric: Light Control and Airy Spaces
Back in the day, a window shade allowed people to enjoy privacy and sun protection. Today’s modern window shades, however, pack a more powerful punch. For example, did you know that you can control the amount of sunlight coming into your home depending on the fabric shade you choose? To help you understand what type of sheer fabric shades are best for your home, we discuss how these shades work and give our recommendations.
Sheer Fabric Shades: What Sets Them Apart?
All shades provide some solace from the sun. Sheer shades, however, do this a little differently than an average shade. Soft and airy, sheer shades gently filter in natural light while diffusing harsh rays into a warm, welcoming glow throughout your home. At the same time, these shades still allow you to enjoy your view of the great outdoors. In a way, sheer shades are like sunglasses for your home. That is, they allow you to look out into the world without being bothered by bright glare or intense UV rays.
What Rooms Are Best for Sheer Shades?
The beauty of sheer shades is that they can be placed in virtually any room in your home. However, we recommend putting them in rooms with a lot of natural sunshine to maximize their purpose. This will allow you to transform those harsh rays into a gorgeous glow throughout each room in your home that sees a lot of sun. Another benefit of sheer shades is that they come in a variety of custom colors. Whether you want something more neutral or a pop of color, Hunter Douglas carries various fabric colors and patterns to make them unique to each room in your home.
