Sheer Vertical Blinds for Privacy

Sheer vertical shades combine the formal look of drapery with modern technology and ease of use. They can be folded up much more easily. The vanes of a vertical blind are combined with a sheer fabric to give two layers of privacy and light control. The vanes can pop open like a normal vertical blind while the fabric provides an additional layer.
Sheer vertical blinds are a great choice for bedrooms because of their added privacy, while the sheer fabric layer brings an element of intimacy and romance as the sun softly filters through. Sheer verticals can also be used as a classy way to build an interior wall. They combine the permanence of a vertical blind with more privacy settings. You can have the blinds open in the day to let light in, or shut out everything altogether.
The fabric of a sheer vertical shade provides a dimension of visual elegance. The soft folds of the translucent fabric diffuse sunlight while still providing a view. The view out a sheer vertical blind is like a soft illuminating moon. These blinds are the perfect finishing touch to a beautiful bedroom window.
A great design idea is sheer blind shrouded hallways. Especially if the hallway is glass cased, your blinds will allow you to go from a flowy, cozy look to completely open and sunny. They are great for areas like the hallway where people are not going to gather and lean up on them. What makes fabric vertical blinds great is their delicacy and intimacy. This means that these blinds are a little more fragile and specific in use than just a set of aluminum blinds.
Coloring the sheer cloth can also add a splash of color to the room as the cloth filters the light. The fabric will stop the visibility of shapes inside a room, while still allowing enough light to see. A fine eggshell or white will let in the most light, while darker colors add mystery to the home. Dark reds or coffee colors add an autumn theme to the home. Sheer fabrics will never completely block the sun. That is why they are married with a vertical louver system. In nurseries or other rooms you would like to black out completely another choice for window coverings may be appropriate. Busy households with lots of traffic and children are also not ideal for vertical blinds because the cloth collects dust. The modern materials these blinds are made of are tough, but fabric still stains and tears easier than say a wood blind. If you get a cordless sheer vertical blind it will be safer, and filter light while still allowing a view outdoors.
