Design with Light Using Custom Roman Shades
Natural light is a wonderful design element because, though it can be difficult to fully control, when it’s harnessed productively, say with custom Roman shades, it can have stunning effects. Natural sunlight used for indoor lighting can make rooms feel alive and active when at full strength or cool and relaxed when filtered. It can even make spaces feel mysterious or intimate when used softly. It can balance dark colors or make accent colors pop, and it naturally draws the eye so it can be used to showcase or downplay design elements depending on the need. So, when creating the interior design plan for your home, take natural light into account so that you control it instead of it controlling your house.
Unchecked sunlight can have numerous negative effects from blinding glare that makes monitors hard to read to harmful UV rays that can cause irreversible damage to your furniture, flooring, and décor. By strategically installing custom Roman shades on your windows, you can take control of natural light in your home and use it to create unique lighting effects and a welcoming home ambiance that is equally beautiful and purposeful.
Bright Light
Where do you want bright natural light in your home? Sunlight adds energy so it’s useful in high-energy rooms. Living rooms, family rooms, great rooms, game rooms, and other rooms in your home where your family often gathers for daytime activities can benefit from lighting effects based on bright natural light. Not only does sunlight have an invigorating effect, but it’s also better on your eyes than some types of indoor lights and so it’s ideal in home offices or places work (or homework) is done.
Custom Roman shades from Hunter Douglas are available with the innovative Top-Down/Bottom-Up feature that allows the shade to be drawn up to open (as with traditional Roman shades) or the shade can also open from the top-down. This enhanced maneuverability gives homeowners additional options for allowing natural sunlight into their home but at the same time maintaining a high level of privacy, which is great for rooms like the bedroom or dining room.
Filtered Light
Another innovative system from Hunter Douglas is their Duolite® system which creates both filtered and blackout effects. The Duolite® shade uses two treatments with different opacities that are operated in harmony using a single roller unit. Thus, a single shade can be both light-filtering and room-darkening; when creating a lighting scheme for your home this style of custom Roman Shade can be especially useful since it can create a wide range of lighting effects. Rooms in your home that see both daytime and nighttime use, like the bedroom or living room, benefit the most from this style of versatile window treatment.
The Aesthetics of Custom Roman Shades
When using natural light as a design element, consider the importance of the aesthetics of the window treatment itself as the frame and conduit to natural light. As sunlight from windows naturally draws the eye, the window treatment around that light holds a prominent visual place in the aesthetics of a home. Custom Roman shades from Hunter Douglas are available in an array of fabrics with different colors, textures, and opacities; and their classic style combined with the clean lines of advanced operating systems and the contemporary feel of modern fabrics creates a stunning window fashion for your home.
