Choosing Between Shades vs Drapes
Choosing between shades and drapes can be challenging. After all, they both offer a range of benefits that can benefit your Florida home year-round. So, to help, we asked our design team at South Kendall Interiors to help us sort through some of the top benefits of shades and drapes to help Miami homeowners better understand these choices. We can help you find a window treatment ideally suited to your household.
The Benefits of Drapes
For this comparison, we’ll be looking specifically at Hunter Douglas window treatments, including our selection of custom drapery styles available in Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and Luminette® Sheer Panels.
Highly Customizable Style
When it comes to window coverings, few have the design versatility of drapery. Custom drapery pulls from a large fabric collection with hundreds of choices to suite a range of interior design aesthetics. Drapery can also be installed in seemingly endless styles, from half curtains on small windows to entire walls of custom drapery, meaning they can be precisely tailored to your style taste and room dimensions.
Layerable Companions to Custom Window treatments
For added protection and custom style options, layered window treatments are ideal for Miami homes. Combining two separate window treatments offers the range and benefits of both treatments meaning homeowners can enjoy the best of both worlds. Custom drapery is one of our favorite treatments to use in layered window fashions because it’s compatible with many different window shades, including cellular shades for elevated insulation, shutters for better room darkening abilities, and sheer shades for improved UV protection.
The Benefits of Sheer Shades
Enjoy A Range of Lighting Solutions
Because sheer shades mix translucent panels and opaque slats to control light and privacy, they can create a broad spectrum of interior lighting styles. Want warm, bright light to help wake you up and get your day going? Sheer shades can diffuse light in a space. Need privacy or light-blocking elements to help you avoid the sun’s glare and protect your space from UV damage? Sheer shades can do that, too. Sheer shades like Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades are available with the Duolite® system that combines a front light-filtering shade with a back room-darkening shade for even more versatility regarding light control.
Protect Your Space—and Your View
The sheer material in Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades does more than just look good. Behind the simple elegance of this textile lies advanced protective features. For example, sheer materials excel at filtering out UV rays to protect your home against sun damage. And though blanketing your home in UV protection, sheer shades don’t block the view or the light coming in, so home interiors feel open and spacious while still protected.
