See why sheer shades could be right for you

The unique design of our sheer shades gives you the benefits of two different kinds of window treatments.  

  • Horizontal fabric "slats" act like blinds – they can be rotated open so you can see outside or closed to add privacy and block incoming light
  • With the fabric slats open, the sheer material acts like its own shade, gently filtering light
  • The shade can also be fully raised for an unobstructed view outside – the shade  rolls up into the headrail and disappears

These sheer shades create an immediate look of elegance and luxury in any room, but are more than just a pretty face:  

  • Sheer blinds material helps block damaging UV rays to protect your furnishings
  • Harsh sunlight is instead softened and distributed more evenly and further into the room
  • Horizontal fabric vanes can be rotated for additional privacy and light control
  • Sheer shades are available with light filtering or room darkening fabric depending on your needs (the sheer material is the same for both)
  • Easily raise or lower the window shade with included beaded chain or opt instead for motorized remote control

Sheer shades are more than just window treatments; they redefine the ambiance of any room. With their unique design blending sheer panels and solid vanes, these shades provide seamless light control, offering both filtered light and complete privacy. Ideal for rooms requiring a balance of functionality and elegance, sheer shades complement various styles, from traditional to contemporary.

Advanced options like motorized lift or cordless lift ensure easy operation, while their moisture-resistant fabric options make them perfect for high humidity spaces.

Every home is different, and sheer shades offer the flexibility to adapt to your specific requirements. Whether you're looking for light filtering to reduce glare in a workspace or sheer panels that allow filtered light to brighten a room without sacrificing privacy, these shades cater to diverse preferences.

With the added convenience of motorized shades, blinds provide effortless customization to match your lifestyle.

Here are a few suggestions to help you decide if sheer shades are right for you and to help you start ordering:  

  • Decide whether the light filtering or the room darkening blinds fit your needs better – both provide privacy when closed
  • Room darkening sheer blinds are not completely "blackout" as a small amount of light may still pass indirectly between the fabric slats
  • With the shade down and the fabric slats "open", the bottom rail will sit just above your windowsill; to close the shade, just pull slightly on the cord and the fabric slats lay flat for complete privacy and the bottom rail will rest against the windowsill for more complete light control
  • Sheer shades are long lasting and durably constructed but aren't recommended for high traffic or potential "messy" locations like over the kitchen sink or mudrooms
