Hunter Douglas Pirouette shades are a sophisticated hybrid window covering that combines the softness of a fabric shade with the light control of a blind. Soft horizontal fabric vanes are attached to a single sheer backing, allowing them to rotate open for a view-through effect or close for privacy, all while the sheer fabric continues to filter and soften incoming light. Unlike traditional blinds, Pirouette shades have no exposed rear cords, giving them a clean and refined look from both inside and outside the window. Spokane Blinds carries the complete Pirouette collection in a curated selection of fabric colors and opacities. Our design consultants bring samples directly to your home so you can choose in your own light.
Book NowWhat makes Pirouette shades uniquely versatile is their ability to provide a view to the outside while the vanes are open, something most fabric shades cannot offer. The sheer backing keeps the window covered at all times, providing a base level of privacy even when the vanes are fully open. Rotating the vanes closed increases both privacy and light control, and the sheer layer continues to gently filter light so the room never goes completely dark unless a room-darkening liner is added. Each shade is custom-cut to your window's exact dimensions for a tailored look and smooth operation. Spokane Blinds handles measuring and installation so your Pirouette shades fit perfectly from day one.
The Invisi-Lift system allows the vanes to float gracefully on a single sheer backing, providing views with no obstructing cords or tapes. The result is a window that reads as a single soft plane of fabric and light, with nothing mechanical in sight. See it running in our Spokane Valley showroom, or book a free in-home consultation and we will bring samples to your windows.
Hunter Douglas designed Pirouette shades with the real-world needs of homeowners in mind, including safety, convenience, and durability. Cordless lift systems are standard across the Pirouette line, and PowerView motorization is available for fully hands-free control from your phone, remote, or automated schedule. The elimination of rear cords also contributes to child and pet safety, removing a common household hazard entirely. Every Pirouette shade is backed by Hunter Douglas's strong warranty program, and Spokane Blinds provides professional installation and ongoing support. We are your local Hunter Douglas expert, here to help long after the installation is complete.
Book NowPirouette shades bring a soft, sculptural elegance to any window that is genuinely difficult to achieve with other window covering types. The gently curved fabric vanes create visual interest and depth, adding a designer quality to even ordinary windows. Available in a range of warm and cool fabric tones, they integrate beautifully with virtually any interior design palette, from coastal and casual to modern and sophisticated. The clean profile and absence of visible rear cords make them a favorite among interior designers for spaces where aesthetics are a top priority. Spokane Blinds will help you find the fabric and opacity combination that looks best in your specific rooms.
The sheer backing on Pirouette shades filters UV rays continuously, even when the vanes are in the fully open position, providing meaningful protection for your floors, furniture, and artwork throughout the day. When the vanes are rotated closed, UV protection increases further as the layered fabric creates a more substantial barrier against sun damage. This makes Pirouette shades a smarter UV protection choice than bare window glass or sheer-only curtains, which offer minimal filtering. Homeowners with prized hardwood floors or upholstered furniture near sunny windows especially benefit from this daily, passive UV management. Spokane Blinds can help you choose the right Pirouette fabric to balance light quality and UV protection for each room.
Silhouette suspends slim vanes between two sheers and you view the outside through fabric. Pirouette uses larger front-facing vanes on a single sheer backing, so open vanes give a nearly unobstructed view. Pirouette reads softer and more dimensional; Silhouette reads sleeker.
Yes. The wide fabric vanes scale beautifully on picture windows, and PowerView motorization handles sizes that would be heavy to lift by hand.
The vanes open flat for view and daylight, curve for filtered light, and close fully for privacy. It is drapery-like softness with shade-like control.
Yes, with Hunter Douglas PowerView, including schedules, app control, and voice assistants. We demo both Silhouette and Pirouette running motorized in our Spokane Valley showroom.
