Opening Up Small Spaces with Window Sheers

Sometimes, one of the toughest parts of interior décor isn’t a lack of vision or eye for design, it’s the limitation of space. Tiny rooms often feel like a challenge to decorate because they usually have poor lighting and a floor plan that makes it tough to set up furniture in more than one singular orientation. However, you can make the most of these small spaces with the power of great window treatments. Lightweight window coverings, like sheers and light-colored shades, can go a long way toward making a small space feel open and inviting. We adore recommending our Hunter Douglas Pirouette® and Silhouette® shades for this purpose because of their unique style and dynamic structure that adds a pop of movement perfect for adding visual interest to any room. At Blinds & Us, we are passionate about helping people rediscover a passion for decorating their homes through beautiful window treatments. Here are a few products we’re loving right now.

Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shades Pirouette® Window Shadings - Seneca, South Carolina (SC) open up small spaces

Silhouette® Window Shadings

Fabric S-shaped vanes suspended between two layers of sheer fabric come together to product a window treatment you’ll love to look at. Silhouette® is sure to impress your friends and family with vanes that appear to be floating. Not only does the lightweight combination of adjustable vanes and sheers allow plenty of natural light to flow into the smallest of spaces, but the dynamic appeal of a floating window treatment also adds visual interest and depth, which is a valuable technique in visual design. If you’re in the mood for color, you can customize your fabric vanes with one of many luxurious styles from the Alustra® Collection, which features anything from subtle neutrals to bold patterns.

Pirouette® Window Shadings

Experience upscale, modern beauty in this window sheer that features adjustable vanes suspended on a single sheer backing. Enjoy a graceful, floating appearance that moves beautifully as you lift and lower your shades. Invisi-Lift™ allows your Pirouette® sheers to shine on their own without cords or wires obstructing your view. The adjustable vanes give you total control over your home’s lighting with the freedom to position incoming light however you like. Pirouette® provides UV protection against harmful solar rays as well as an enhanced sense of privacy so you can move about your room in comfort even if you live along a busy street.

Luminette® Privacy Sheers

For a soft, filtered glow that is sure to create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, we love our Hunter Douglas Luminette® window sheers. Luminette® consists of fabric vanes that turn 180 degrees mounted like vertical blinds for lightweight appearance reminiscent of elegant drapery. These sheers are a great choice for large windows like patio and sliding screen doors, especially if they’re in a location that isn’t optimal for full lighting angles. With the SofTrack™ hardware system, you won’t have to worry about clunky hardware. Luminette® operates smoothly along a concealed track for a polished and minimalistic look.
