Why You Should Add Sheers and Shadings
There are many reasons why you should add sheers and shadings if you have decided that your windows could benefit from a makeover. Not only are there several unique Hunter Douglas offerings to choose from, but each comes with its own characteristics that can fit various types of rooms. At Bell's Ethan Allen Design Center, we can teach you about each type as you begin deciding which would be the best fit for your design goals.
The first type that you may want to think about is Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shading. These window treatments are unique because the soft fabric vanes appear as though they are floating between two sheer panels. Additionally, the vanes, which can be adjusted, also give you full control over the amount of light and privacy at any given time. They can also offer UV protection if you have been searching for new window fashions that could work to protect any furniture or valuables you have in a room, which is another reason why you should add sheers and shadings.
As for customization, these Hunter Douglas products are available in a range of fabrics, textures, and hardware. This means that you can mix and match characteristics until you find the perfect combination for any space inside your residence. As there is a range of beautiful colors, we are confident that we have something to satisfy the needs of all our customers. Cathedral, Soft White, and Pesto are a few of our favorite colors, but you can of course come in and browse our collection for yourself. As you can see, there are many reasons why you should add sheers and shadings.
Pirouette® Window Shadings are another style that you may want to think about integrating into your existing decor. The fabric vanes in these shades are attached to a single backing, which allows you to raise or lower the shade in one fluid motion. Other notable features of these Hunter Douglas offerings are the fact that they also offer UV protection, and they utilize the Invisi-Lift™ system, which allows the vanes to appear as though they are gracefully floating. The variety of characteristics is another reason why you should add sheers and shadings.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers are the final option to contemplate as you consider the reasons why you should add sheers and shadings. With vanes that can rotate up to 180 degrees, these are great pieces if you are looking for ways to outfit a patio door or large window. The fabrics used during the creation process, which include colors such as Antique Linen and White Dawn, can also be cut by the yardage. Therefore, you can create custom accent pillows to match your new window fashions if you are looking to add a new level of cohesiveness.
If you would like to learn more about why you should add sheers and shadings, feel free to stop by our showroom. We are located at 94 N Plank RD, Route 32 in Newburgh, NY. If you have immediate questions about why you should add sheers and shadings, we can also be reached by phone at (845) 565-6000. Additionally, we are also happy to help our customers outside of our physical location, as our service area extends to the surrounding area, including Warrick, Middletown, Fishtail, Wappinger Falls, Rhinebeck, and Newpulz, NY. Contact us today to begin completing your design goals. We look forward to partnering with you.
