Three Rooms That Light Up with Window Sheers and Shadings

Natural sunlight makes the interior of your home look amazing but comes with a lot of negatives, including excessive temperature fluctuations and UV damage to your furnishings. However, keeping your windows closed off means you don’t get to enjoy the benefits of natural light, including mood boosts and healthier vitamin D levels.

What if we told you that there was a window treatment that offered the best of both worlds? There is! At House to a Home Interiors, we love window sheers and shadings from Hunter Douglas. Sheer fabric filters natural sunlight, reducing harmful UV rays and glare without sacrificing the light you love. Meanwhile, vanes suspended in the sheer fabric offer light control for better privacy and energy efficiency. Hunter Douglas offers three styles of window sheers and shadings: Luminette® Privacy Sheers,Silhouette® Window Shadings, and Pirouette® Window Shadings. Here are three rooms perfect for them:

1. Home Office

As work-from-home arrangements become more common, home offices have developed different needs. Good lighting is essential for video calls, but often the windows we love create problematic glares on screens. Pirouette® Window Shadings are an excellent choice for home office windows. The sheer fabric filters out 81% of harmful UV rays and reduces glare for a soft, natural light that’s great for video setups, while the floating vanes allow further control of light and privacy. As a bonus, the clean modern look creates a stunning backdrop for your video calls.

2. Sunroom 

Sunrooms are a gorgeous addition to any home, but all those windows can be tricky to cover. You don’t want to lose the advantages of natural light – that’s the whole point of a sunroom. However, excessive sunlight can create a greenhouse effect, trapping heat and causing your HVAC system to work harder than necessary. Luminette® Privacy Sheers are an ideal solution for sunroom windows. The sheer fabric filters sunlight down to a soft glow, while floating vertical vanes rotate 180º to adjust light and privacy exactly the way you want it. The SofTrak™ hardware system is concealed, so all you see is the graceful drape of sheer fabric.

3. Playroom

We love Silhouette® Window Shadings for playroom window treatments. The dual layers of sheer fabric on Silhouette® Window Shadings filter up to 88% of harmful UV rays and leave a soft, natural glow in the playroom. They reduce glare and protect toys and furnishings from UV damage, while making sure your child gets all the mood and energy boosts that natural light provides. The white rear sheer blocks the view into your home even while the vanes are open for all-day privacy, and the vanes tilt to provide better light control when needed. If you want the option to to blackout your windows, add an independent roller shade to your Silhouette® Window Shadings with Duolite®.
