When it comes to sheer window treatments, they can easily add a touch of breezy beauty to the windows in your home. It is common for people to think of the basic-white length of gauzy fabric upon hearing the word “sheer.” However, that is only the tip of the iceberg. The term goes deeper and there is so much more to this type of window treatment. Here are three common styles of sheer window treatments that are worth keeping in mind.
Sheer Roman Style
Sheer Roman-style shades are highly functional and can offer a casual look while ensuring that your windows are part of the view. For starters, you may wish to opt for shades that have smooth fronts that are tailored to fall into a gentle curve at the bottom. As there is a wide variety of fabric options to choose from today, you can easily combine coverings in the same room or even the same window. You should also note that sheers do provide the same amount of privacy and coverage that Roman shades offer. If you choose sheers that come in natural tones, it will ensure that your shades do not look too overpowering. You can also consider pairing these shades with a cornice or drapery panel, but they can look great as a stand-alone.
Natural Woven
Natural woven sheers are a great option to consider if you love the look of earthly and natural fabrics. As these panels combine the light touch of a sheer with the warmth of natural textures, they look awesome alongside finishes like exposed brick and reclaimed wood. If you have always wanted to get window treatments that offer a blend of refined and rustic elements, natural woven sheers should be your top choice. To understand natural woven sheers better, the natural materials that are used usually include wood, bamboo grasses, and reeds. These materials are known to age beautifully as well as having a timeless look that will complement any room.
Lined
If you are in the market for sheers, you will find sheers that are lined as well. Lined sheers are a great way to make your sheer panel pop and/or highlight a pattern. For example, you can opt for lined sheers that feature gorgeous grey lining, as it will make patterns stand out for instance. In addition, there are lined sheers that come with insulating properties, providing indoor climate control. While curtains like these often feature light and airy design, they are energy-efficient and are double layered to lock out the heat in summer and the cold in winter. Light subtly shines through as per normal.
Above are just some of the modern and gorgeous sheer options you can consider getting. You are recommended to schedule an on-site or in-store consultation with our window treatment experts; as always, it is better to see the available fabrics and sheer samples in person. By working closely with a professional home designer, you can create the right look for your home with perfect ease.
