Adding Silhouette® Window Shadings to Homes
Each day we wake up, we will have to make some decisions. What to eat for breakfast, if we want to work out, and if we want to get a head start on that project that we know we have to do are a few examples. Of course, there is also a decision that we make so often that we may not even consider it a decision anymore: views or privacy. Let’s say it is a gorgeous day outside filled with sunshine. You could make the decision to open the shades and let the light in, but you will then have to sacrifice any privacy that you want to enjoy. This results in us having to sacrifice one for the other. Fortunately, adding Silhouette® Window Shadings from Hunter Douglas to your home completely eliminates this dilemma. Read on to see if these shades are a good match for your home.
Light and Privacy
When it comes to adding Silhouette® Window Shadings to your home, you can enjoy light and privacy the same time. This is thanks to the soft, adjust-able S-shaped vanes of the shade that are designed to look as if they are floating between the two sheer fabrics of the shade. This design not only lets in softly filtered light, but it also allows you to enjoy privacy by obscuring the outside world’s view into your home. The white rear sheer prevents anyone from peeking into your home even when you leave the vanes open, allowing you to enjoy your views and daytime privacy. As if that were not enough, achieving your perfect levels of light and privacy could not be easier with Silhouette® Window Shadings. To achieve your perfect levels of light and privacy, all you have to do is tilt the vanes. No muss, no fuss.
Custom Designs
Another one of the benefits of adding Silhouette® Window Shadings to your home is that you can enjoy a variety of custom styles and designs offered within The Alustra® Collection of Silhouette. Featuring a thoughtfully curated collection of design-inspired textures, fabrics, colors, and hardware, this suite of styles meets the expectations of designers and consumers who want the best in design. Whether you want something that pops or blends in, this collection has something for everyone. Choose from fan-favorite colors like Sonata, Pesto, Castille, and more to create the perfect look at each window.
Room Darkening
There are occasions were advanced shade is called for. Let’s say you are enjoying movie night, but the glare from passing cars and street lamps are ruining the evening. Or, let’s say you are a new parent who desperately wants to get their baby on a good sleeping schedule, but bright sunlight keeps disturbing nap time. Another one of the benefits of adding Silhouette® Window Shadings is that they come in a room darkening option. In fact, Silhouette Duolite® Shadings combine the light-diffusing benefits of a traditional Silhouette® shading with an independently operated roller shade nestled behind it. This offers greater control over light and room darkening benefits.
