The Softer Side of Sheer
While Silhouette® shadings feature crisp S-shaped vanes, Nantucket takes a different approach with contoured vanes that create a fuller, more relaxed appearance. The soft curves evoke the feeling of fabric drapery while maintaining the precise light control of horizontal blinds.
Key Differences from Silhouette:
- Fuller vane profile – More traditional, drapery-like appearance
- Contoured shape – Soft curves vs. crisp S-curves
- Warmer aesthetic – Ideal for traditional and transitional décor
If you love the functionality of sheer shadings but prefer a less contemporary look, Nantucket delivers the perfect balance.
Versatile Light Control
Like all Hunter Douglas sheer shadings, Nantucket provides exceptional control over light and privacy:
- Vanes Open: Soft, diffused light fills the room while you enjoy the view
- Vanes Tilted: Redirect sunlight upward or downward to reduce glare
- Vanes Closed: Privacy and light blocking with a soft fabric appearance
- Fully Raised: Disappears into the headrail for unobstructed views
The fabric facing filters harsh Ottawa sunlight, protecting your furniture, floors, and artwork from UV damage while creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in any room.
Fabric & Colour Options
Nantucket Window Shadings are available in a curated palette designed to complement traditional and transitional interiors:
- Neutrals: Soft whites, creams, and warm taupes
- Earth tones: Subtle browns and natural hues
- Light filtering: Gently diffuse light while maintaining privacy
- Room darkening: Optional backing for bedrooms
The 3" contoured vanes provide substantial coverage and create a rich, layered appearance at the window. Pair with coordinating Luminette® Privacy Sheers on sliding doors for a cohesive whole-home look using Hunter Douglas's Counterparts® coordination program.
