ne cae ganceis always in fashion. Here, sheer window shadings under draperies add soft light control and undeniable style. (NAPS)—Sheers are everywhere these days. Translucent, transparent, ultra-light and seethrough, shimmering sheers are eclipsing Grandma’s heavy drapes. Gossamer solids and diffused prints, laces, cottons and chiffons all look new and are being seen in many new andinteresting ways. Oneoption that is considered a vast improvement over the traditional sheer has not one, but two panels of sheer fabric. Horizontal fabric vanes float between these sheer panels. The vanesrotate for enhanced privacy and light control options. This non-traditional sheer, called Silhouette window shadings from Hunter Douglas Window Fashions, can transform a room with soft light control and undeniable style. The two sheer fabric layers of Silhouette shadings provide a diffusion of light that eliminates harsh shadows to give a room a warm glow. They also offer protection from the sun’s harsh ultraviolet rays, which can damage furniture, carpets and precious collectibles. With the vanes open during the day, Silhouette window shadings raise up into a clean, color-coordinated headrail for a completely unobstructed view of the outside. Part blind, part shade, part curtain, Silhouette shadings are available in a wide array of colors and textures and two vane sizes—a classic two-inch and wider threeinch. Silhouette shadings accommodate any style, from the casual to the traditional. A brand new face fabric— Jolie”—is a point d’esprit pattern on the sheer face fabric (rather than the vanes). This gives the shading the look offine lace closeup. But at greater distances, the pattern dissolves away to provide a moredetailed, less diffused view. This new fabric has been introduced in the generous three-inch vane size. The wider vane size offers a superior view that can look like shutters, but is very dramatic becauseit is soft.
