What are the best window treatments for large windows?

1. Plantation Shutters

The natural style and charm of hardwood shutters makes this form of window treatment a favorite with homeowners looking for elegance and class in their large windows. This looker is also a keeper when you consider advantages like hassle-free cleaning and maintenance and reduced energy bills. Choose from a range of stains and paint options and / or a choice of materials – wood, solid polymer or a combination of both, and plantation shutters are good and ready to elevate the charm and functionality of your large windows.

 

2. Panel Track Blinds

This recent entrant in the world of window treatments combines a clean and sleek look with safe and effortless maintenance. What you have here essentially, is a panel of material – ranging from fabrics and sheer weaves to vinyl and woven or solid wood, that can be moved along a fixed track. The track is usually mounted above the window frame and can be operated with a simple wand. With no dangling cords to get entangled in, these blinds are a safer choice for homes with children and pets. Other advantages include less need for maintenance, ease of replacement, minimal movement and versatility in design.

 

3. Sheer Vertical Blinds

Sheers are a great way to control the presence of light and shade in your interior and also transform large sized windows into design accessories for a stylishly envisioned interior. Open the vanes when you’re in the mood for some warm and glorious sunlight and also want to gaze at the outside world. Close the vanes when you desire protection from the sun and also some privacy from the outside world. Sleek in design and easy to operate, sheers are a great way to experience class in window treatments without any of the challenges.

 

 4. Horizontal Sheer Shades

Combine the functionality of a blind with the elegance of a fabric shade and what you get is a horizontal sheer shade or a sheer blind. Sheer shades can be tilted like a blind to control the amount of light and privacy that you desire in a room. This modern window treatment gives you a choice of colors, fabric options and slat sizes to customize your choice for a perfect match with your windows and interiors. If standard options don’t delight you, you could look up sheer shades that come with customized upgrades like cordless lift – a hidden control system to lower or raise the shades, motorized lift – shades that can be controlled by the push of a button or continuous cord loop controls – an option where the cords can be secured to the window or wall leaving fewer visible cords.

 

 5. Honeycomb Shades

 Known as either honeycomb or cellular shades, these are a really popular type of window treatments. They are clean and contained in appearance, which allows them to blend in with a variety of decors. They are efficient insulators – their honeycomb structure enables them to trap air inside, ensuring better temperature control and lower energy bills during both summers and winters. They are light controllers and can be used to do both, filter and block the entry of sunlight into interior spaces. Lastly, they are view enablers and can open you to the world outside when raised or close your view of the world when lowered.

 

6. Roman Shades

This window treatment is a great choice if you’d like your windows to have a clean and streamlined visual appearance. Roman shades are soft fabric window treatments that hang flat against your window when lowered and fold up neatly when raised. These shades are versatile in their style – from modern to traditional to tailored, and give you a wide range of possibilities to pick and create the decor of your choice.

 

7. Roller Shades

If you’re looking for a window treatment that offers a great mix of sleek and style, roller shades should be a high priority on your list of choices. Simply roll them up when you want a clear and wide view of the world; roll them down when you want to withdraw into a space that’s stylish, comforting and private. With roller shades, you can give your windows a variety of textures – ranging from tweed to woven fabrics as well as a platter of colors – spanning from neutral tones to rich and premium colors. When it comes to ease of operation, this window treatment also gives you the comfort of a motorized version where you can raise or lower your shades with a remote control.
