Home Offices with Smart Window Coverings

What do you want in a home office? What do you need? When working from home, it is important for productivity and mental sanity to create a space ideally suited to your work day needs. For many, this includes a quiet space that encourages brainstorming and brilliant ideas in between taking calls. Using smart window coverings strategically in a home office can help with all three of those elements.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades Brunswick, Georgia (GA), that create the ideal home

Your Options

Sheer Shades

If computers are part of your daily work schedule, then setting up a home office that is well lit but sans glare will be an important step. Glare makes monitors difficult to read and that, in turn, strains the eye–neither of which will help you get through a work day with ease or purpose. Sheer shades are uniquely suited to create well-lit, glare-free environments because of their advanced sheer materials. Sheer materials are translucent, which allows for natural light indoors, but they are also able to filter out the negative elements of natural sunlight (like glare or UV) and diffuse the light to make soft interior illumination ideal for working on monitors.

Shutters

Interior plantation shutters are another popular window covering for home offices because of the unique way they control light. With tilting louvers, shutters can avert direct, blinding sunlight and allow deflected light to come inthat illuminates the interior in a more controlled manner. All louvers on a single shutter panel move in tandem. However, individual shutter panels on a larger window with multiple panels can operate separately from one another if needed, adding additional versatility and flexibility to the way shutters are used to create work spaces at home. This means shutters are smart window coverings that can create isolated work spaces in larger rooms by strategically angling shutters within the space to generate more or less light in specific areas. So, shutters can control an entire room or a smaller portion of a larger room with coordinated and controlled movements for customized illumination in your workspace.

Sound Resistant

Besides light, another environmental factor that needs to be controlled to create the best possible workspace is sound. Noise can be a distraction, whether coming from other rooms in the home or outside. Smart window coverings like cell shades create acoustically ideal conditions within a room by blocking outside noise and improving interior acoustics. In fact, Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades can block or absorb up to 70% of sound waves passing through them. Honeycomb shades can be fit to window or interior doors (like French doors) with the ability for custom cut-out shapes, so no matter where the noise is coming from, inside or out, honeycomb shades can be used to create a wall of acoustic protection around your home office.
