Sheer Shades in Champaign-Urbana, IL
Sheer shadings are a favorite for Champaign-Urbana living rooms and dining rooms that get strong afternoon sun. The sheer fabric softens daylight and filters UV rays, helping protect floors and furniture from fading, while the vanes tilt for privacy. See them full size at our Champaign Hunter Douglas Gallery® store on S Neil St.
What to know before you choose.
Sheer shades suspend soft fabric vanes between or along sheer fabric, so daylight comes in diffused and glowing instead of harsh. Tilt the vanes open to see outside, close them for privacy, or raise the whole shade out of the way.
They're a favorite for living rooms, dining rooms and anywhere you want the light to feel warm and even. Sheer fabrics also filter UV rays, which helps protect floors and furniture from fading.

Towns we serve
Do sheer shades help protect floors and furniture from fading?
Yes. Sheer shadings filter much of the sun's UV rays, which helps slow fading on floors, rugs and upholstery while still letting soft light in.
Which towns do you serve for sheer shades near Champaign-Urbana?
We bring samples to homes and install sheer shades throughout Champaign, Urbana, Savoy, Mahomet, Tolono, St. Joseph, Monticello and Rantoul. Call our Champaign showroom at (217) 305-5113 to book a free consultation.
Can you see through sheer shades?
With the vanes open you can see out through the sheer fabric, softened. With the vanes closed you get privacy, and at night a room-darkening or light-dimming fabric adds more.
Are sheer shades good for bedrooms?
They can be. Room-darkening fabrics are available on some lines, and many people pair sheer shades with drapery for a bedroom. We'll show you the options in your room.
I had a wonderful experience with the well dressed window! They have amazing customer service, and wonderful staff. They did an amazing job on my skylight blinds and did a great job getting it installed and upgraded to the solar powered blinds. They respond quickly when I call. I recommend this team for all of your hunter Douglas blind needs.
You learn most about a company when something goes wrong. We purchased 2 Hunter-Douglas blinds this past spring and one broke after 3 months. Bridget from The Well-Dressed Window responded promptly to our needs and convinced Hunter-Douglas to remake the blind at no charge to us. The new one works perfectly. We are very appreciative that Bridget advocated for us.
We had a great experience with Well-Dressed. They worked with our schedule and completed the job quickly. Our installer, Nolan, was knowledgeable and helpful. Already planning another windows outfit with Well-Dressed.
The Vignette® Modern Roman Shades exceeded our expectations. They add a touch of elegance to the entire room. The fabric Bridget helped me pick out looks perfect in our space. Greg and Nolan installed them quickly and neatly. They helped me install the app and provided me with all the instructions on maintenance and care. Working with Bridget was a great experience. Highly recommended The Well Dressed Window!
We’ve used the Well Dressed Window multiple times for our home, and are always more than pleased with the attention to detail, consultation with the designers and the installations. Taylor helped pick out our latest shades and we could not be more thrilled with how they turned out. Installation was very precise and efficient. We love this business and will continue using them for any window covering needs!
We love the product - Hunter Douglas SkyLift shades that Well Dressed Window installed a few years ago - they look great and gently block the sunlight when it's too strong..... And the service is also terrific! Staff associate Nolan changed the batteries in the lift motor and he couldn't have been more professional and smart - the motor is hidden away but he found it and video'd it so that next time the process will go even more smoothly! A-1 service!!!
