Product Spotlight: Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades

Interior design is filled with decisions. From selecting the right cabinetry to narrowing down a color palette for each room, transforming a house into a home that reflects your unique tastes is a process. The same applies to window treatments. With such a vast variety of styles available, it takes a bit of research to determine which style will work best for your home.

For example, if you have been on the hunt for high-quality, custom sheer shades, you may have stumbled upon Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Shades. If you’re wondering whether these Hunter Douglas shades are the best investment for your home, then you’re in the right place. Here’s everything you need to know about Silhouette® Shades to help inform your decision:

While offering numerous benefits, Silhouette® Shades are the leaders in light transformation. With a one-of-a-kind design, these shades deliver a soft radiance even in the sunniest room. This is thanks to their S-shaped fabric vanes that transform harsh light into a soft glow while maintaining your daytime views and privacy. Interested in light management throughout the day? Consider upgrading to Silhouette Halo™ Window Shadings. Engineered with unique, double-fabric vanes that can rotate up, down, and anywhere in between, these shades allow you to direct sunlight precisely where you want it.

Have you ever felt pigeon-holed when trying to find a specific color or fabric type in a big box store? Not with Hunter Douglas! Silhouette® Shades are available in over 150 fabric colors, allowing you to easily match them with the color scheme or design of your home. From beautiful neutrals to bolder hues, this collection of light-filtering shades is sure to have a style that you will fall in love with. Be sure to ask our experts about our available line of fabrics!

Did you know that excessive UV exposure can fade your floors, furniture, artwork, and upholstery? Though concerning, this doesn’t mean you have to put blackout curtains on every window in your home. Another benefit of Silhouette® Shades is that they provide ample UV protection. By filtering out the damaging rays, these shades fill each room with soft light that prevents long-term damage. And since these Hunter Douglas window treatments come in a variety of window shapes, including arches, angles, circles, and more, you can rest easy knowing that each type of window in your home can be beautifully covered by Silhouette® Shades.

Back in the day, window treatments were operated by finicky, dangling cords. Unsightly, unsafe, and often unusable by those with limited grip strength, these cords are not the favorite of many homeowners. Fortunately, Silhouette® Shades offer various operating systems to meet your home’s needs. For set-it-and-forget-it motorization, PowerView® Automation is an innovative system that moves your shades for you.

Inherently cordless, this system is excellent for homes with small children or pets. If you prefer something a little more manual, consider the UltraGlide® wand, LiteRise® push/pull system, EasyRise™ corded loop, or the SoftTouch® Motorization wand. If you’re unsure of which system is best for your home, be sure to ask our experts for more details. Or, see why we’re loving motorized shades and blinds for Ohio homes here!

When making your home uniquely yours through décor, furniture, and appliances, each option stems from careful research. When it comes to your window treatments, it can feel overwhelming to find the perfect style when there are so many available. However, if you’re looking for a style that offers superior light control, UV protection, and modern operating systems, then we think you will love Silhouette® Shades.
