Want sheer window treatments that offer the perfect blend of soft light, privacy, and modern style? Discover our stunning, expert-backed collection of sheer shades in semi-sheer, sheer, light filtering, room darkening, and blackout opacities.
Made from lightweight, light filtering fabric, our sheer shades for windows will block out harmful UV rays and gently filter light for a bright and airy feel in a room. A spin on traditional Roman and roller blinds, they’ll give your window a modern, luxurious look while being an eco-conscious choice.
If you need soft light and privacy in your living room, select light filtering sheer shades. To create up to 95% darkness in your bedroom or media room, we highly recommend room darkening sheer shades. For dual sheer and blackout effect, consider banded or zebra shades with alternating sheer and blackout straps - a perfect green solution for versatile light control.

“These sheer shades added such a soft, elegant touch to my living room. The light filtering fabric makes the space bright but private — love them!” – Emily R.
“I ordered room darkening sheer shades for my bedroom & they work amazingly well. Great balance of style, function, and affordability.” – James L.
A sheer shade resembles a cellular or pleated shade in a sheer fabric. A sheer shade is better than its cellular and pleated cousins in that it can help you control external light and privacy without being raised – all you need to do is adjust the tilt of the sheer fabric vanes.
It depends. When lights are on in your room in the evening, sheer shades without a liner won’t protect your privacy. Transparent sheer fabrics will let people on the outside see through, potentially compromising your modesty. However, during the daytime, they’ll offer partial protection of your privacy.
Absolutely yes! There are privacy sheer blinds and solar shades with 5% to 14% openness factor which can let you see out of the window but prevent people on the outside from seeing in during the day. The exact reverse is true at night.
Sheer blinds perfectly (and softly!) diffuse window sunlight, helping you to hide unsightly views and shield your furniture, flooring & fixtures from the full force of direct sunlight.
Standard sheers allow visibility when lights are on inside. For privacy, use dual sheer/blackout zebra shades or add a liner.
Ideal for living rooms, kitchens, patios, and sunrooms where soft light is desired. For bedrooms, opt for room darkening or blackout models.
Sheer shades offer the soft fabric look of drapery with the functionality of blinds, giving a lighter, more modern feel.
Yes. Even light-filtering options block UV rays, protecting furniture and flooring from fading.
Dust with a soft cloth or vacuum using a brush attachment. For stains, gently spot clean with mild detergent and lukewarm water.
