2025 Product Spotlight: Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Shades
Each year, the Laura's Draperies,Bedspreads, and More design team spotlights a Hunter Douglas window treatment. Our selection is based on innovation, aesthetic beauty, and feedback from our team members and clients. The 2025 choice was clear: Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Shades. Their sophisticated appearance and versatility make them a favorite choice for homeowners seeking to enhance their interior spaces.
The Look of Pirouette® Sheer Shades
Unlike hard window treatments like wood shutters or metal blinds, Pirouette® Sheer Shades diffuse light gently, creating a radiant glow. They have soft, adjustable front-facing fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing. The vanes move in tandem; you can raise the whole system into its headrail for open views.
These shades filter up to 81% of UV rays when the vanes are open and 99% when they’re closed. Choose from over 90 color and fabric combinations, ranging from semi-opaque to room-darkening, for added light and privacy control.
What Size Windows Do Hunter Douglas Pirouette® ShadesFit?
These shades have a horizontal orientation and 4” or 5” vanes. They accommodate window openings ranging from:
- Widths: 12" to 144".
- Heights: 15" to 144".
Hunter Douglas customizes Pirouette® Shades for specialty-shaped windows, like arches, ovals, trapezoids, and bay windows. You can also order them for sliding glass, patio, and French doors.
What Control Options are Available for Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Shades?
Hunter Douglas offers four control options for these sheer shadings:
- PowerView® Automation: Powered by Bluetooth technology, this motorized window treatment system lets you open, close, adjust, and program your shades on the spot or according to schedules. It works with the PowerView® app on tablets and smartphones, the Pebble® Remote, or smart-home systems for voice-operated convenience.
- Soft Touch®: This battery-powered system offers quick touch-and-go functionality with a motorized wand.
- Ultra Glide®: This retractable system raises and lowers your window treatment while keeping the cord at a constant length.
- Easy Rise™: Perfect for large window treatments, this system offers a continuous cord loop, specially engineered for smooth, easy operation.
Design Tips for Using Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Shades
Our design tips help clients make the most of these elegant window treatments:
- Layering for Depth: Pair Pirouette® Shades with drapery panels for added texture and a polished look. This combination can also add insulation and light control.
- Highlighting Windows: Use these shades in rooms with large or unique windows to emphasize architectural details. Their delicate design adds contrast and creates focal points.
- Creating Mood Lighting: Select sheer fabrics to create a soft, glowing ambiance in your living spaces. That allows natural light to filter through and reduces glare.
- Enhancements: Upgrade Pirouette® Sheer Shades with ClearView® sheers or exclusive fabrics from The Alustra® Collection.
