Benefits of Sheers and Shadings for Homes Near Cambridge, MA
Finding a solution for your windows that offers comprehensive light control, comfort, style, and privacy is often a tough task for many homeowners. However, achieving this tricky balance for any window in your home is totally possible when you choose Hunter Douglas custom sheers and shadings. In fact, there are multiple great options you can choose from for beautiful natural light in your home and elegance throughout the day.
Silhouette® Window Shadings
One problem many people face when trying to fill their home with natural light is the fact that doing so often means letting harsh sunlight inside. You don’t want to make your home dark and dreary when the sun is shining, but you also don’t want your floors to fade or your home to reach sweltering temperatures. You can often layer blinds or shutters with a sheer drape, but this can look a bit cluttered and it won’t work for every window. On the other hand, the Silhouette® Window Shadings provide incredibly thorough and flexible light control with a single window covering.
This brilliant shade features two panels of sheer fabric, which diffuse sunlight entering your home to get rid of glare and most of the sun’s UV rays. The result is a home filled with soft natural light throughout the day. You also get to maintain your view with these shades while also getting privacy during the daytime. For privacy at all hours and for more substantial shade, you can easily adjust the soft, horizontal vanes that are found in between the sheer fabric panels.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
You can also choose the Pirouette® Window Shadings for horizontal sheers and shadings that provide soft light, versatility, and UV protection for your home. This variation of sheers and shadings uses just one panel of sheer fabric behind a series of horizontal fabric vanes. The fabric vanes on the Pirouette® Window Shadings use a unique design to help you control your shade level by folding and expanding to open and close. The sleek design of these shades also results in a clean looking background, making the vanes appear to float in front of your windows.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers
You can also get the convenient versatility of sheers and shadings for your wide windows and sliding glass doors with the Luminette® Privacy Sheers. These custom sheers and shadings are oriented vertically like vertical blinds and can open easily from side to side thanks to a smooth headrail design. The shades feature vertical hanging fabric vanes inside of sheer fabric cells, creating a versatile window treatment for shade and light control. These shades, in particular, create an elegant appearance in any room with their reflective vanes and glowing panels.
Each collection of Hunter Douglas custom sheers and shadings can be customized by choosing from a wide selection of fabrics, colors, and opacity levels.

The unexpected circular shapes will energize your design style. Don’t be a square – or even a rectangle! Rooms that have only sharp edges and straight lines can create a feeling of too much order and lead to a sense of discomfort or inflexibility. Add just a few round elements as an accent to soften and relax a room. You can be creative in your definition of “round” to include more than perfect circles. Include ovals, egg-shapes, ellipses, arches, curls, cylinders, rings and more. The idea is just that you add a few rounded shapes, in addition to the straight lines and square corners that are everywhere in your home. Even in the feng shui concept of interior design, round shapes are important. Feng shui is about balancing five elements, one of which is metal. The metal element is expressed as a round shape in decor; and round design elements are believed to bring clarity, precision, freshness and equality into a room. The possibilities for adding round shapes to your home environment are almost unlimited: Round pillows Curved patterns in wallpaper or upholstery fabric Cylindrical, round or oval accessories – such as vases, bowls and urns Disk-shaped tables – including dining tables, end tables and coffee tables Round light fixtures or lamps A circular sofa sectional Elliptical or round mirrors or artwork Spiral staircases And if you’re remodeling, round windows and arch top doorways or windows – or you can change the shape of a room to have a rounded window bay. Circular or oval rugs Think outside the box. Round out your interior design with some circular shapes!
