Elegant Soft Sheers That Make a Statement
If you’re searching for a way to maximize natural light without sacrificing light control, privacy, or UV protection, window sheers and soft sheers should be at the top of your list. Soft sheers filter light beautifully without closing off your home or leaving it wide open for the outside world to peer inside. They offer a stylish way to enhance your space with a warm glow while also adding an elegant ambiance that mimics the same appeal of luxurious drapery. Modern soft sheers not only provide value-boosting benefits to your home, but also feature innovative controls for seamless operation and accessibility that make them perfect for your home’s unique needs. Right now, at Ida & Norma’s Drapery, we’re loving the versatility of soft sheers. Today, we’re taking time to unpack a few of our favorite products and why they should be on your radar if you’re on the market for brand new window coverings.
Silhouette® Window Shadings
This collection of innovative window sheers from the premier Hunter Douglas boasts a visually stunning style that combines the flexible light control of window blinds with the lightweight elegance of sheers. Adjustable S-shaped vanes direct incoming sunlight while two surrounding sheers filter natural light for a beautiful glow that illuminates your space. This layered window treatment provides a sense of volume and depth to your windows and has the power to serve as a statement piece all on its own. Explore an array of fabrics offered by the exclusive Alustra® Collection inspired by top designers. Modern colors and exciting patterns provide a subtle pop of color designed to complement an array of interior décor tastes. For additional view-through without sacrificing privacy or UV protection, we love to recommend Silhouette® ClearView® technology for bright, natural light without having to raise your shades into their headrail.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
Movement is a powerful tool when it comes to interior design and that’s why we love Pirouette® Window Shadings from Hunter Douglas. Curved, front-facing vanes suspended on a single sheer backing give the illusion of floating vanes that move gracefully through the air as you lift and lower them. Even if you go with a classic neutral, these dynamic soft sheers are centerpiece-worthy and are sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests. Pair Pirouette® Window Shadings with PowerView® technology for an upscale, sophisticated window treatment experience. Control your floating soft shades from the comfort of your couch with the PowerView® smartphone app. Program custom schedules, create Scenes that remember your favorite lighting positions, and sync your windows with the natural day/night cycles for a daily schedule powered by natural light.
