Chic, Soft Blinds to Control Light and Add Style

Suppose you only think of hard treatments when you think of window blinds. In that case, you are missing a huge swath of modern design that melds the precision of hardwood blinds with the softness of windows shades for hybrid treatments with a gentler aesthetic and optimized performance. Soft blinds from Hunter Douglas come in numerous design styles, each with different textiles and customizations to choose from.

Pirouette® Window Shadings Miami, Florida (FL) the best soft blinds for your home from Hunter Douglas.

Soft Blinds by Hunter Douglas

Pirouette® Window Shadings

Fabric vanes run horizontally along a sheer backing creating the faux-blind look found in Pirouette Window Shadings. The soft blinds have a light, ethereal look thanks to the graceful transparency of sheer material used in the construction. The soft, sculpted fabric vanes add to the supple aesthetic but do not take from the precision of light control or level of absolute privacy that Pirouette soft blinds afford.

Designer Banded Shades

Swap the hard slats of traditional window blinds for interspersed bands of designer fabric and screen materials for the latest style of soft screen blinds. The bands of translucent screening and opaque fabrics can align or overlap to provide light control and privacy, much like the effect of slats on traditional blinds tilting up or down to offer comparable control. The banded construction gives this style of window treatment the authoritative, linear look of blinds. A streamlined operating system lets Designer Banded Shades move with the grace of roller shades.

Blinds with Side Panels

In some décor styles, soft blinds aren’t 100% soft. The style is more about softening the traditional aesthetic with accessories rather than changing the original construction materials. Pair classic hardwood blinds with full drapery or framing side panels to balance the hard materials of blinds with the soft accouterments of coordinating fabric treatments. The benefit of keeping the original blind design intact is that the window fashion as a whole benefit from the features of both the hard and soft treatments; the hard materials being ideal for absolute light control while the soft fabrics from Design Studio™ Drapery and Side Panels add dimension and movement to design for peaked visual impact.

Luminette® Privacy Sheers

For vertical applications with soft charm and precision, Hunter Douglas crafted Luminette® Privacy Sheers. The soft vertical blinds amalgamate drapery fabrics and flow with the structured, sculpted vanes of hard blinds that can rotate up to 180° for complete light control. The innovative SofTrak™ hardware system is fully concealed when the soft blinds are drawn for a polished and finished look. And textiles used with Luminette® Privacy Sheers can be purchased by the yard for custom elements that can help the style of your soft shades become fully integrated into existing home décor.
