When it comes to decorating your windows, no one does it better than Unusual Designs. We have the right professionals and experience to provide you with the best window treatments you have ever had. We carry the best products on the market to ensure that we can provide you with everything you have been looking for. Our favorite products are our Hunter Douglas Sheer Shades, which help you create the interiors of your dreams with the lighting and privacy you have always wanted. If you have been considering adding sheers to your home, you will not regret learning about our three options.
Silhouette® Sheer Shades
The secret of these sheers lies in the S-shaped vanes that float between and front and back sheer. This creates gorgeous, diffused light, along with daytime privacy. It would be best if you didn’t have to choose between one or the other. These sheers have been designed so you can Get it all. This one-of-a-kind design creates a soft radiance that is ideal for your home. By tilting the fabric vanes, you create an ambiance that is perfect for the mood. You can even opt to enhance the view-through with ClearView® sheers, giving you the best privacy control and visibility.
Pirouette® Sheer Shades
Control light in a magical way with these sheer shades. They offer UV protection your home needs, so you don’t have to risk your flooring, furniture, and artwork fading from the sun. You can protect your home further by adding shades to your windows. These sheers are offered in sumptuous fabrics that are beautiful and high-quality, making them perfect for your interiors. The Alustra® Collection of fabrics is the best in the industry, and they come in either 4” or 5” vane sizes to match your preferences. They are designed with unique fabric vanes and a single back sheer, offering light in a space with a gorgeous design.
Luminette® Sheer Panels
Our sheer panels are an excellent option for larger windows and doors. The drapery-like sheers exude a soft glow into your rooms, creating an elegant aesthetic. These shadings are distinctly designed to control light while creating privacy. The vanes rotate, so you can position them in a way that fits your needs. They provide a buffer between your interiors and the sun, giving you peace of mind that your interiors are being protected. Plus, don’t forget that you can get these sheer fabrics cut in accents by the yard, so your entire interior design comes together perfectly.
