The Unique Light of Oregon's Pacific Northwest

Living in north western Oregon offers a unique experience, with its misty mornings, bright afternoons, and early sunsets. The interplay of light and shadow across the region’s lush landscapes and varied architecture is something truly special. However, capturing and enhancing this natural beauty within your home can be a challenge. Enter sheer shades—a versatile window covering option that allows you to embrace and manipulate the PNW’s unique light in style.

What Are Sheer Shades?

Sheer shades are a modern window treatment that combines the elegance of drapes with the functionality of blinds. They feature soft fabric vanes suspended between two layers of sheer fabric. When the vanes are open, they filter sunlight to create a warm, diffused glow in your room, while still allowing you to enjoy the view outside. When closed, they provide privacy and light control without completely blocking out the daylight.

Why Sheer Shades Are Perfect for our area

Maximizing Natural Light: In a region where natural light can be fleeting, sheer shades are a great way to maximize every ray of sunshine. The sheer fabric filters light beautifully, reducing glare while still illuminating your space. This is particularly useful during the long, cloudy months when you want to make the most of any available daylight.
Controlling Privacy Without Sacrificing Light: The PNW is known homes nestled within nature. Sheer shades allow you to maintain your privacy while still enjoying the scenery. The sheer fabric diffuses the light, so you get a soft, warm glow inside without compromising your view or privacy.
Enhancing Views: Whether you’re looking out over the Columbia River Gorge or enjoying the urban landscape of Portland, sheer shades allow you to take in the beauty of your surroundings. Their design is perfect for homes with large windows or stunning views, as they allow you to see outside while still providing some protection from direct sunlight.
Energy Efficiency: Here in Oregon, we can have varied weather, and sheer shades help regulate the temperature in your home by filtering sunlight during the warmer months and insulating against the cold in the winter. This energy efficiency not only makes your home more comfortable but can also reduce energy costs.
Versatility in Design: Available in a variety of colors and textures, sheer shades can complement any interior design style, from modern minimalist to cozy rustic. They add a touch of elegance to your home, making them an excellent choice for any room.
