What Can You Do with Natural Light in Your Home
Light is key for design, without it you’re in the dark (literally). So, when considering the interior design of your home you must consider light and how that light will affect your design. Most homes utilize a combination of natural sunlight and artificial lighting, both of which have their practical uses and benefits. Artificial lights can be positioned or moved at a homeowner's discretion and easily controlled with a variety of features and operating systems (like using different wattage light bulbs or a dimmer switch), working with natural light, however, requires a different tact as sunlight is far less malleable. To use natural light in your home successfully requires flexible window treatments with state-of-the-art materials and designs that allow for an array of different light effects. That’s why sheer shades can be so useful when planning on how you can best use natural light in your home; their use of opaque and transparent materials creates a rich diversity of lighting effects.
Sheer Shades by Hunter Douglas
Soft yet protective, sheer shades from Hunter Douglas use the diaphanous look of sheer materials to hide high-tech, light-control enhancements that make sheer shades both visually interesting and functionally optimal. Hunter Douglas has several lines of window treatments that utilize sheer materials each with a distinctive style.
Silhouette® Window Shadings
Silhouette® Window Shadings utilize both a sheer front and a sheer back with s-shaped opaque fabric vanes suspended between the two. The result is a window treatment that diffuses natural light in your home to create a warm and welcoming effect when open. Then, when the maneuverable vanes are engaged, Silhouette® Window Shadings can partially or completely block light like the tilting of louvers on a hardwood shutter for a look that is equally controlled but on the softer side aesthetically.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
Pirouette® Window Shadings utilize a single sheer backing onto which horizontal front-facing fabric vanes are affixed. The sculpted vanes allow homeowners to increase or decrease the amount of natural light entering their home with ease, and Pirouette® Window Shadings block the invisible but still harmful UV rays in natural sunlight (up to 81% when open and up to 99% when fully closed) for multi-level light control.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers
The only vertical treatment from Hunter Douglas’s collection of sheer shades, Luminette® Privacy Sheers features a sheer material with vertical fabric vanes that rotate 180°. The sheer front creates a soft filtered glow, while the opaque vanes can deflect or block direct light if more privacy or room-darkening effects are needed. Because of their orientation, Luminette® Privacy Sheers are great for glass doors, which like windows are a primary conduit for natural light into your home.
Designer Banded Shades
Designer Banded Shades are the only roller shade from Hunter Douglas that utilizes sheer materials. In its construction, sheer bands are alternated with opaque bands, all of which work in unison. When the opaque bands are aligned, the sheer materials allow natural light in and a natural view out; when the opaque bands overlap Designer Banded Shades provide full privacy by blocking light and the view in. Nuanced adjustment of the opaque and sheer bands creates a range of lighting effects that are easy to control. And thanks to the streamlined roller shade design, Designer Banded Shades operate smoothly every time even on extra-tall or especially broad windows.
The expert design team at South Kendall Interiors can help you find the best ways to harness natural light in your home using sheer shades from Hunter Douglas.
