Layering Looks: Mixing Opacities in Window Fashions
Let's talk about the way you’ve been using different opacities in the window fashions around your home to elevate the design and heighten your window treatment’s functional capabilities.
At Don’s Drapery Service, playing with and mixing opacities is one of our favorite ways to add texture, enliven color, add visual interest, and expand light control and privacy in residential window coverings. Join us as we explore the ways to use different opacities in the Hunter Douglas collection of modern window fashions.
Banded and Sheer Shades
The first category of window fashions with multiple opacities comes in the form of innovative shades. These specific window treatments that are crafted from two distinctly different types of materials. These include both banded shades in the roller treatment collection and sheer shades by Hunter Douglas.
- Designer Banded Shades: The alternating bands of opaque and sheer materials earned this window fashion its nickname, zebra shades. The mix of fabric opacities not only give Designer Banded Shades their sophisticated linear look, they also help the shade provide either filtered light or room-darkening properties. The opaque vanes come in over 90 fabric/color choices so homeowners can customize the treatment to match existing décor.
- Sheer Shadings: Hunter Douglas has three different types of modern sheer shades that have opaque fabric vanes rooted on sheer layers. Silhouette® Sheer Shades with signature S-shaped vanes, Pirouette® Sheer Shades renowned for their UV protection, and Luminette® Sheer Panels, the trio's option for vertical applications. Sheer shades’ view-through visibility keeps spaces feeling open and roomy and provides a visual focal point that connects the interior space with the larger exterior world—plus, their opaque panels offer privacy for times when you desire a more intimate effect.
Layered Window Fashions
The second way to work complementary opacities into a single window fashion is by layering multiple treatments. In these multi-tiered window fashions, the individual components come together to create a final treatment that benefits from and balances all their combined features expanding the way these window fashions can serve homeowners.
- Custom Drapery and Sheer Shades: By adding a layer of custom drapery over sheer shades homeowners also add the insulating features of drapery and their elegant style. Plus, with the wide range of choices in the fabric library for Hunter Douglas drapery, homeowners can easily create a window fashion that is unique to their home and in-line with existing aesthetics.
- Side Panels and Banded Shades: If homeowners want to enhance the room darkening abilities of blinds, shutters, and shades, the addition of side panels will block any light leaks around the edges for comprehensively darker interiors. And like with custom drapery, custom side panels can be tailormade from an expansive collection of over 250 fabrics for highly personalized style.
