Let the Light In: Sheers and Sunfilter Blinds for Summer

Summer is a season of rejuvenation, rebirth and renewal, and it’s the perfect time to breathe new life into your interiors too. As the days get longer and the sun gets stronger, our homes feel the difference. More heat and UV means more glare, warmer rooms and furnishings that can start to fade. Two beautiful solutions for summer are sheer curtains and sunfilter roller blinds.

The Beauty of Sheers

Sheers, or voiles (from the French word for “veil”), are light, transparent fabrics that let natural light flow into a room. You keep your view of the outside, and the people inside keep their privacy. They add softness and movement to any space, and give a relaxed, airy feel that suits the warmer months.

Sheers can be used on their own, or layered with blinds or blockout curtain linings for complete flexibility. Keep them drawn during the day to filter harsh UV rays and keep the heat out, then close your blinds or blockout curtain linings at night for warmth and privacy.

Sunfilter Roller Blinds

Sunfilter roller blinds, also known as sunscreen or solar blinds, are a clean, contemporary option. They soften harsh spring daylight, reduce glare on screens and protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from UV fading, all while keeping your daytime view. They’re ideal for living areas, home offices and any room that catches the afternoon sun.
