Sheer Shades

Sheer Shades for Soft, Adjustable Light

Sheer shades suspend horizontal fabric vanes between two layers of sheer fabric, which can give you a way to move between softly filtered daylight and a more closed, private position without losing a fabric-forward look.

Understanding Sheer Shades

Sheer shades suspend fabric vanes between two sheer facings, so rotating the vanes becomes part of the light and privacy decision.

They can be a useful option to compare with roller or Roman shades when you want a softer, curtain-like look with adjustable light control built in.

Sheer Shades FAQ

A sheer shade uses fabric vanes between two sheer facings that rotate for light control, rather than a single fabric plane that raises and lowers.
