Is one of your favorite things about your home the view? If so, we understand why window “coverings” might be a tricky situation. But, we’re here to help! We’ve got the 5 best window shades you should check out if you want to highlight the view! Having a front row seat to the exterior of your home is important, and it should be showcased. That doesn’t mean you have to settle for flooding light, a lack of privacy and relentless glare. Let’s take a look…
#1 The Pirouette
Let’s start off our list of the 5 best window shades to enhance your view with the “wow” factor of Pirouettes. We consider this collection one of our favorite “sheer shades,” but it also resembles roman shades when completely closed up. The fabric vanes rest flat, but when adjusted “open,” they simply fold in place to reveal sheer view-through for a dramatic backdrop.
#2 The Silhouette
Silhouettes are what most people think of when they hear “sheer shades.” These are the best window shades when it comes to adjusting a range of light control, from complete views and glowing light, to closed off comfort and enhanced light control. Additional features have been added to this collection to increase control and views. Clearview® offer sheers with a crisp look–almost like taking your regular photos to HDR. And, the latest innovation is Halo® which allows the floating vanes extended movement for increased directional changes.
#3 Luminette Privacy Sheers
Huge windows? Sliding doors? You may want a vertical shades option. But, don’t worry–this collection of privacy sheers can take your open view from landscape to closed-off in one simple rotation. They look like sheer draperies, but they act like shades. Within those drapery folds, they feature–almost invisible–vanes. Those vanes rest in one position for a wide open view. When rotated, they close everything off–even available for room darkening.
#4 Screen Shades
Sometimes, the most simple system is best! Roller shades, including our Designer Solar Shades, are an incredible option for highlighting the landscape view just outside your windows. Offered in a range of colors, you can choose the look that fits your home best, while softening the light in your home. This collection is also available as dual roller shades, so if you need a solid room darkening option in addition to view-though, you can have it!
#5 Designer Banded
For your largest windows, you can enjoy view-through and solid fabrics with one shade. The dual layers of fabric within the Designer Banded Shades collection adjust with a simple rotation to either show off the view, or close out the exterior for privacy and room darkening options. Available in horizontal lines of solid and sheer fabrics, or curved shapes with a geometric finish, not only can you control the light and privacy, but you will have an instant feature wall.
Don’t Forget about Your Patio!
The other area of your home where you need to improve the view? The patio! Taking time out of your day to relax on the patio is an amazing part of life here in Northeastern Ohio. But, don’t get chased away by the sun and heat. You can enjoy your view more with exterior screen shades that soften the glare, protect you from direct rays and offer a shady getaway from the heat of summer. During the cooler times of year, you can enjoy that outdoor view longer than normal with patio shades that cut the windy weather.
