Covering up your bare windows might seem like a dramatic change. How will you be able to see your beautiful view? Where will the natural light come from? Large windows give you both, and they seem difficult to cover. We understand bare windows seem beneficial to lighting your home, but they’re actually harmful. Did you know there are ways to bring in natural light AND still keep your view? Check out this before and after to see the magical transformation of window coverings!
Before: Too Much Sun!
When you first glance at this photo, the bare windows make this room look open. Imagine having this spectacular view of the outdoors while dining at this gorgeous table! It certainly looks nice. But, imagine you’re sitting in this room. There would be so much glare! The sunlight entering would be unfiltered, leaving the room uncomfortably bright. The chairs and wood floors are in danger–the harsh UV rays can fade and damage furniture. And, don’t get us started on the temperature! There’s no way to control the temperature with sun pouring into the room. What if you want to sit in this room at night? The outside world has a perfect view into the privacy of your home. How uncomfortable! We can fix all of these issues…
After: Comfortable and Complete
Say “goodbye” to glare, uncomfortable temperatures, harmful UV rays, and “hello” to comfort and privacy! What’s the solution, you ask? Sheer designer roller shades by Hunter Douglas. They’re gorgeous. Classy. Stylish. The list could go on. If you want filtered light, and want to keep the beautiful view that your bare windows give you, look no further. This room is completely transformed. Doesn’t it look more inviting? Our designer roller shades preserve your view while offering the privacy you need.

Outfitting the windows with Pirouette shadings made all the difference in this living room. They transformed it from a space you’d do anything to avoid to one that’s comfortable and inviting. The harsh glare and direct rays that used to wreak havoc in here have been replaced by a soft, ambient glow, and you can actually enjoy the view. That’s thanks to a sheer backing that filters and diffuses natural light for exceptionally beautiful daylighting while still providing a view-through. It also filters out UV rays–which means that all of the interiors are protected. Everything will look fresh and new for years to come. Then, there’s the temperature; it’s now cool and comfortable. The beauty and benefits of Pirouettes in this space don’t just stop there, though. In terms of style, you can’t deny that they’re positively gorgeous. Soft vanes appear to float on a sheer backing, and the color coordinates perfectly with the decor. This before and after transformation is truly dramatic, and there’s more.
Is this your home? Do you feel as if you could be the “before” of a “before and after” photograph? Do you live without a barrier between yourself and the outside world, besides the glass of your windows? Like we’ve said: You’re not alone. So many of our clients have been in this situation, and it typically boils down to one–or all–of these three reasons: You don’t know which window coverings to choose, you don’t have time to shop for solutions, and you just haven’t gotten around to checking it off of your to-do list. We get it. Life is busy. Here’s the problem. If you live for an extended amount of time without window coverings, you start to let the light control you, instead of the other way around. You start to live your life in certain parts of your home based on the time of day. Your lifestyle is at the mercy of the outside world–and so are your valuables. You can’t escape the direct sunlight, the glare or the prying eyes–without window coverings, your privacy and comfort is non-existent. It’s time for you to take charge, and we can help. You need to be our next before and after transformation!
Nobody wants to remain the “before” of a “before and after” transformation once you see what can be done. It’s exciting. It’s refreshing. It’s relieving. You get the home of your dreams, and you get to take charge of your life. What’s better than that? We love the results of this living room–it’s a beautiful space made even better with window shades that fit the design and function of this home. The breathtaking view is still there, even with window shades. Silhouette window shadings are one choice in a variety of window coverings that give you the option to enjoy maximum view-through while also cutting the glare and providing valuable UV protection for your furnishings–all at the same time. The natural light should be welcomed in, based on your preferences. Your comfort is important, and that means privacy and light control should be at the top of your list of needs. With many options for adjustment and operation, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for. And that’s what we’re here for. We can guide you–based on your individual wants and needs–to make the best choices for your home. It’s a before and after transformation you’ll be happy to be a part of!
