Adding Natural Light
Even as the summer season quickly gives way to the promise of autumn, there is still plenty of light left to enjoy in California. Adding natural light to homes opens a space and allows you to breathe more easily, which is why many of us prefer homes with big windows with lots of wonderful sunlight. Of course, adding natural light can come with some problems if not done correctly. You don’t want too much sunlight coming into your home, or you might feel the need to wear sunglasses inside and get agitated at the glare on your screens. Fortunately, adding natural light to homes means adding soft, natural light and daytime privacy when you choose Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades for your window treatments.
Light or Privacy When You Need It
Life is all about balance. Have too much of anything, and you will quickly want to be without it. That is why Silhouette® Sheer Shades provide both. The soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes of the shades float between two sheer fabrics for ultimate light control. Instead of bright, glaring light, you can enjoy a soft glow throughout your home. This innovative two-in-one design lets you enjoy the sunshine while obscuring the outside world from looking into your home. After all, no one wants to have the world look into their home while trying to enjoy a little sunlight. The double-layered vanes on the Silhouette Halo™ Shadings also let you redirect sunlight throughout a room, making it easy to manage light as it rises and falls during the day. Adding natural light to homes with Silhouette® Shades also means enjoying UV protection that protects your interiors.
Gorgeous Fabric Designs
Aside from adding natural light to homes, Silhouette® Sheer Shades also provides ample room to create works of art at your window. The Alustra® Collection of Silhouette is driven by exemplary design that will leave you and your guests breathless at their beauty. We invite you to explore this collection's rich texture and warmth and the available curated suite of exclusive design-inspired fabrics, textures, colors, and hardware. This collection elevates any window and, in turn, any room in your home. Silhouette® Sheer Shades are also available in specialty shapes, including arches, angles, trapezoids, circles, ovals, bay windows, corner windows, patio doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, and sidelights. Choose from gorgeous colors like Smoke and Mirrors, Capri, Castille, and more.
Room Darkening
If you decide that you love the idea of adding natural light to homes but also want ample shade, then you will love Silhouette Duolite® Shadings. These shades combine the light diffusing benefits mentioned above, plus an independently operated roller shade nestled right behind. This provides even more control over incoming light. This is perfect for media rooms, bedrooms, and other spaces where daytime lighting or ample shade is desired.
