Finding Modern Shades for Your New Home

Few experiences can match the excitement of life’s firsts. From your first car to your first job to your first home, each first is a milestone on your journey. That’s why many of us try to make each first as perfect as possible. For example, when many of us got our first car, we carefully washed the exterior and painstakingly cleaned the interior. We were excited to have the freedom that comes with transportation, and we wanted to show off our new wheels. Then when we bought our first home, we went through the same process. When we first saw the empty shell of a house, our minds started to visualize our ideal design. With such an important milestone, you don’t want to settle for anything less than the best. With modern shades from Hill Country Blinds, you can rest assured that your window treatments won’t detract from one of life’s major firsts.

When you’re looking for the best of modern shades, you need both form and function. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice one or the other. With modern shades from Hunter Douglas, you can enjoy the function of blinds with an appealing new design that is sure to impress. Many people love blinds because of their functionality. Not only can you completely raise and lower them as needed, like roller shades, but you have the added flexibility of adjusting the slats to balance your desire for natural light with your need for privacy. However, for some people, the cords connecting the slats served as a detractor and didn’t complement their design preferences. With modern shades from Hunter Douglas, that is no longer a concern.

Hunter Douglas’ line of modern shades combine sheer panels with fabric vanes to create shades that offer the same balance of light and privacy that blinds do. Silhouette® Window Shadings have S-shaped vanes between two sheer panels. That means that you can tilt the vanes much like you would slats in blinds. If the vanes overlap, the shades are completely closed. If you choose to adjust the vanes so that they are parallel, light will filter into your home, diffused by the sheer fabric. Pirouette® Window Shadings have the same basic construction, but they are built with curved fabric vanes attached to a sheer backing. When you open and close the shades, the vanes move together for a fluid motion.

Luminette® Privacy Sheers are a modern option for large windows or sliding doors. With this product, vertical fabric vanes are attached to the back of a sheer fabric panel. The vanes can rotate 180 degrees, so you can adjust them to completely close the sheers or to allow light to come through the sheer and create a gentle glow. As an added benefit, when your shades are closed, all the hardware is neatly concealed, maintaining your home’s clean look. Plus, you can pair any of these modern shades with PowerView® Automation for wireless control. That way your new home isn’t cluttered with cords and wands meant to control your shades.
