Creating the Perfect Ambiance with Light-Filtering Shades

When it comes to living in Southwest Florida, there’s certainly no shortage of natural light pouring through our windows and sliding glass doors. And while the sunshine state well deserves its name, there’s an array of strategies you can use as a homeowner to control better and diffuse the light you want to enter your home. Whether you want to soften the blow of harmful UV rays in your interior or simply create the perfect escape from a long day of sun at the beach without compromising the beauty of natural lighting, our selection of light-filtering shades at Joann’s Interiors can do the trick!

Our Top 2 Light-Filtering Choices

One of the best benefits of working with us at Joann’s Interiors is that no matter what window treatment option you go with, you’re guaranteed to find something that will appease your need for filtering light. All our window treatment options come with excellent light control capabilities and additional add-ons that can be customized to fit your needs for extra light blockage for more versatile usage. However, when it comes to the harsh Florida sun, we have a couple of options that made it to the top two of our list because it was way too hard to pick just one:

Silhouette® Sheer Shades

• Silhouette® shades are made from soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes that are suspended between two sheer fabrics. This unique design allows the shades to diffuse light and soften harsh sunlight, creating a warm and inviting ambiance in your home.
• Silhouette shades are incredibly versatile and come in over 150 colors and fabrics, allowing you to choose the perfect style to match your interior. They also offer varying levels of opacity, from light filtering to room-darkening, giving you complete control over the amount of light that enters your home.
• In addition to their light-filtering abilities, Silhouette shades are also incredibly energy-efficient. They can help to reduce the amount of heat that enters your home during the summer months, keeping your home cooler and reducing your energy bills.

Luminette® Sheer Panels

• Luminette® sheers are a unique blend of traditional sheer curtains and vertical blinds. They’re made from soft, translucent fabric vanes that are suspended vertically between two sheer fabrics. This design allows the sheers to diffuse light while still providing you with the privacy you need.
• These sheers are ideal for larger windows and sliding glass doors, as they can be adjusted to cover large areas. They also come in over 80 choices of color and fabric, making them a versatile choice.
• Like Silhouette® shades, Luminette® sheers are also incredibly energy-efficient. They boast the same qualities that can filter light while simultaneously blocking excess heat from entering your home, allowing your home to remain the oasis from the sun you want during harsh Florida summers.
