Balancing Hard Designs with Soft Designs
In the world of design, decor can be split into two categories: hard or soft. Hard designs can include ceramic and porcelain accents, tables with sharp edges, wooden picture frames, and more. On the other hand, soft accents can include rugs, pillows, throw blankets, and even your window treatments. By striking a balance between hard and soft designs, you can reach a calming equilibrium that is both chic and consistent. If you are ready to balance hard designs with soft designs, you are in the right place. Read on to discover how you can soften up hard accent pieces below, including adding Hunter Douglas Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades to the mix.
Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades
Offering soft folds and a variety of custom colors, Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades are an excellent way to balance your home’s hard designs with a softer look. Though seemingly unassuming at first, these soft shades pack a powerful punch. These shades are crafted from two layers of fabric that diffuse light and create a soft glow throughout your home: no harsh rays, no worry of glare. The undetectable second layer within this shade is made with cellular construction, providing added energy efficiency to your home. By trapping air within its cells, Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades prevent any air from escaping your home or creeping in. This keeps your home warm in the winter and cools in the summer without spiking your energy bills.
Solera® Soft Shades
As mentioned in the name, Solera® Soft Shades offer a stunning, soft look at each window in your home. The fluid, unique look of these shades is made possible by combining the soft folds of a classic Roman shade that you know and love with constructing an energy-efficient cellular shade. These cordless shades offer a soft look that instantly balances out any hard designs in your home. Additionally, since these shades are cordless, they make an excellent addition to homes that have small children or homes that simply do not want to be bothered by fussy cords any longer. Similar to Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades, Solera® Soft Shades feature a cellular design to keep your home comfortable and your energy usage low. Choose from a variety of stunning colors to make these shades unique to your home’s style.
