Sheer Shades in Washington & Peoria, IL
Sheer shadings soften daylight and filter UV while keeping your view, which makes them a favorite for living rooms and dining rooms around Washington and Peoria. Because light and color look different in every home, your designer brings sheer fabric samples to you, so you can see them in your own windows before you choose.

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.
The showroom comes to you
Your designer brings samples to your home in Washington, Peoria, Morton or nearby, so you can choose in your own light with no drive needed.

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.
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!!!
I am so pleased with my window treatments. Corey and Maddie’s recommendations were so helpful. My motorized woven woods are a dream, color choice is perfect and warms up my living room and dining beautifully. The roller shades in my kitchen are great too. Corey was fun to work with and had great suggestions while listening to what I told him I was trying to achieve. They measured and then installer remeasured before they were ordered to insure accuracy which I greatly appreciated. Installation was smooth and very professional, which I appreciated as well. Even Cathy and the showroom office were helpful. A small, family run business, that was great to deal with.
I would highly recommend The Well Dressed Window. They were very helpful, prompt, and professional. My husband & I purchased beautiful dual sheer shades for our living room. B from The Well Dressed Window came to our house with lots of samples & did all the careful measurements. The shades were installed shortly thereafter & fit & looked wonderful.
