Sheer Alternatives to Living Room Blinds
Blinds are one of the most commonly found window treatments in living rooms. While blinds are a window treatment staple, they aren’t always the best option for rooms where you want to capture the very best of the natural light your home has to offer. If you want to create a softer, more ambient look, sheer window treatments might be the perfect alternative to living room blinds.
At Rebarts Blinds and Shades Store, our team offers a variety of sheer shades to illuminate and protect your space, including the stunning Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades.
The Appeal of Sheer Window Treatments
Sheer window treatments create a unique atmosphere in your living room (and in any other space you opt to install them). Sheer shades create style and function, and our favorite aspect of sheer shades is that they allow natural light to filter into your living room, which emits a warm and inviting atmosphere without sacrificing privacy. Unlike traditional living room blinds, which can sometimes feel too rigid or blocky, sheer shades bring a sense of fluidity and softness to your space. Plus, their opaque slats offer the same privacy as traditional blinds.
Sheer treatments are also incredibly versatile! No matter your interior decor style, whether modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, sheer shades can enhance the overall aesthetic of your home while providing the practical benefits of light control.
Benefits of Choosing Sheer Shades Over Traditional Living Room Blinds
If you’re unfamiliar with the benefits of sheer shades, here are some fast facts on why we love sheer shades over traditional blinds in the living room:
- Enjoy enhanced light control with opaque fabric vanes.
- Sheer shades offer a more sophisticated, elegant, and luxurious look.
- Sheer shades can blend with a wide range of decor styles, including minimalist and modern.
- Hunter Douglas sheer shades are designed with energy efficiency in mind by diffusing and filtering light.
- Sheer shades, especially Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades, offer UV protection for your flooring, furniture, and other interior decor.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades: The Perfect Sheer Solution
At Rebarts Blinds and Shades Store, our perfect solution for sheer window treatments is our Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades. These shades are designed with soft fabric vanes suspended between two sheer panels, giving you the best of both worlds: the ability to diffuse light and maintain your view of the outdoors, along with the privacy you need.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® shades are highly customizable. You can choose from over 150 fabric/color choices and three different vane sizes (2", 3", or 4"). Whether you want to create a subtle look with neutral tones or make a statement with bold colors, there’s a Silhouette® shade that will fit your vision.
Other Sheer Shade Options
One of the beauties of shopping with Rebarts is the versatility of your options. While Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer shades are our top choice, we offer other fantastic sheers as well. Check out our Pirouette® Sheer Shades and Luminette® Sheer Panels to vet all of the available options.
- Another great sheer option are Designer Solar Shades, a screen shade that offers five opacities to protect your home from UV tars without sacrificing your views.
