How to Style Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades are among the most appealing window treatments on the market. Featuring versatility and innovative design, one common question we have is from people wanting to learn how to style these shades to achieve the best results.
Our design team at Smartlooks Window & Wall Decor is happy to share our expertise with you.
What are Silhouette® Shades?
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades offer a distinct look and feel to your interiors. Made from two sheer fabric panels that contain adjustable, opaque 2", 3" or 4" vanes, the sheer fabric lets in natural light while softening its intensity, creating a radiant atmosphere. Meanwhile, the fabric vanes can be tilted to regulate light levels and control privacy.
How Can I Style Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades in My Home?
You can style Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades in different ways. First, consider the room’s overall design and how the shades will interact with other elements.
One approach is to choose a color that harmonizes with the room's palette. The choice of color should complement other furnishings and decor elements while adding some personality. Neutral tones can blend with any décor, while bolder colors or patterns can make a statement by matching an accent color in your space.
Another important factor is the placement of the shades:
- Installing them at the window’s edge or mounting them on the outside the frame can change the perception of the window's size and shape.
- Consider mounting the shades inside the window frame for a sleek, contemporary look. This option offers a clean appearance and maximizes natural light.
- An outside mount can make the window appear larger and create a more dramatic effect.
What Are Some Design Tips for Using Silhouette® Sheer Shades?
For a layered look, pair Silhouette® Shades with curtains or drapes. Light, airy curtains can add texture and softness, while heavier drapes can have a formal aesthetic. The key is to balance the shades to enhance your overall design without overwhelming your space.
Another design tip is to use Silhouette® Sheer Shades to frame a beautiful view. You can enjoy the view while maintaining privacy and controlling light when the shades are partially open. That works well in living rooms or sunrooms where the view is a focal point.
Personalize your Silhouette® Sheer Shades by selecting materials and textures that reflect your style Hunter Douglas offers over 150 fabric and color choices. Decorative elements like custom hardware or coordinating accessories can enhance the final result.
What Are Some Common Mistakes When Styling Silhouette® Shades?
A common mistake when styling Silhouette® Shades is neglecting to consider the scale of the window and the room. Large windows might require multiple shades or larger sizes to achieve a balanced look; small windows might benefit from smaller shades or a minimalist approach. Failing to scale shades appropriately can disrupt the room's visual harmony.
Another mistake is trying to measure and install these window coverings yourself. Our professional, Hunter Douglas certified installers can handle that for you, and the results will be polished and perfectly tailored without gaps or an awkward fit.
