Best Shades for Large Windows
The saying that bigger is better may not always be true. However, when it comes to windows, bigger is often better. Bigger windows have better views, they’re better sources for natural light, and they’re better at commanding design focus in interior design. However, bigger windows can pose their own set of challenges. The larger the size, the harder these windows can be to dress. Not all window shades are designed to work on a larger scale, and because of the considerable proportions, a poorly dressed large window will exponentially exacerbate design faux-paus. So, when seeking out the best shades for large windows in your home, look for treatments with the following three features.
Features of the Best Shades for Large Windows
1. Easy Maneuverability
One of the most important features of the best shades for large windows is easy maneuverability because at their scale and weight, large window treatments can be cumbersome if not properly designed to function at a larger size. Roller shades and vertical blinds are two types of window treatments that have streamlined operating systems engineered for use on broad or tall windows. It can also be useful to look for large window treatments that have the option of motorization for the ultimate in easy maneuverability. Our choices for the best shades for large windows that are easy to use even at their considerable size include:
- Designer Banded Shades: Built on a sleek roller shade base, Designer Banded Shades can effortlessly transition from open to close for easy light control and are available with PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas.
- Luminette® Privacy Sheers: Sheer shadings meet vertical blinds in Luminette Privacy Sheers for large window treatments with the smooth, easy control of vertical blinds (with manual or motorized operation) and the graceful, modern aesthetic of sheers.
2. View-Through Capabilities
Quite often, one of our favorite attributes of large windows is the view and openness they add to rooms. Consequently, the best shades for large windows offer light-control without completely closing off the space or blocking the view. Often, this means using translucent textiles seen in screens or sheers, as they provide light-control and privacy while also allowing the admittance of natural illumination and view-through visibility. Our choices for the best shades for large windows that have view-through capabilities include:
- Designer Banded Shades: Using alternating see-through screening and opaque fabric vanes, Designer Banded Shades allow homeowners to balance their need for privacy and their desire for a view on an ongoing and as-needed basis.
- Silhouette® Window Shadings: Combining the precision of blinds and the gracefulness of sheer shadings, these custom shades use diaphanous sheer panels to provide a view out but obscure the view in.
3. Fashion-Forward Style
Because window shades for large windows are also sizable, their style can feel pervasive. Luckily, Hunter Douglas offers numerous options that are ideal for large window treatments without creating clutter. Our choices for the best shades for large windows that are fashion-forward include:
- Skyline® Gliding Window Panels: A modern style of vertical window treatment, Skyline shades use fabric wrapped panels to create striking fashions for large windows.
- Designer Banded Shades: With linear style and geometric patterning available, Designer Banded Shades are a visually dynamic option for large window treatments.
