Light, open, airy—modern sheer shades refresh indoor spaces with their graceful opacities, translucent fabrics, and striking one-of-a-kind looks. Sheer shades diffuse direct light to create soft illumination and the combination of diaphanous textiles and opaque fabrics produces window fashions with depth, texture, and visual intrigue all showcased in natural light.

The contemporary styles of modern Hunter Douglas sheer shades are engineered with state-of-the-art features, so the window treatments look good and maintain optimal performance for easy, convenient use. Hunter Douglas makes 3 lines of modern sheer shades:

• Pirouette® Window Shadings: Turning with the grace of a dancer, Pirouette® Window Shadings tilt from completely open with nearly unimpeded views to completely shut with blackout levels of darkening for a full range of light-control and privacy.
• Silhouette® Window Shadings: The signature s-shaped vanes of Silhouette® Window Shadings give this style of modern sheer shade both its unmatched light control and the treatment’s soft, flowing aesthetic
• Luminette® Privacy Sheers: A good marriage of design has a balance of features that enhances each other, and with Luminette® Privacy Sheers it’s the mix of the rich feel of fabric drapery and precise maneuverability of vertical blinds that creates a sublimely versatile window treatment.

When you bring modern sheer shades from Hunter Douglas into your home, you bring in their many attributes as well. Modern sheer shades can not only match but also enhance your décor; they can increase your comfort at home by improving privacy and light control; and they come with the latest design features and upgrades, so you get shades that are stylish, easy to use, and a real benefit to your home and its occupants on a daily basis.

Contemporary Style

Many modern interior design styles tend toward clean lines and minimalistic embellishments, which is in line with the forms of sheer shades. And the translucent materials that allow in natural light to enhance décor styles, natural elements, and light motifs. Even the neutral color palette of many modern sheer shades lends itself to contemporary styles. Modern, earthy tones are easily incorporated in more traditional styles as well.

View-Through Light Control and Privacy

The modern sheer shades allows for homeowners to simultaneous enjoy the comfort of privacy and light control (provided by the opaque vanes in sheer shades) along with the beauty of view-through visibility and natural illumination (thanks to the sheer materials in the window treatment). Together, this pairing of features helps to transform your space with maneuverability—allow these sheer shades to create utterly private and completely dark spaces or open them up for partial to full light penetration with a view.
