How to Cover Large Windows in Your Home

How to Cover Large Windows in Your Home near Arlington, Virginia (VA) with Vertical Blinds

What features do you imagine in your dream home? For some, it might be an expansive walk-in closet with built-in organization, or it could be a large, luxurious master bathroom. Some might imagine a professional style kitchen with a large island, double oven and plenty of storage. For others, the wish list might include more overall features such as charming touches, classic design elements that add character or a good flow from room to room. For many people, the picture of a perfect home might also include large windows to maximize the amount of natural light in the house. However, when it comes to finding window treatments for large windows, some people might not be sure where to begin. With a full line of Hunter Douglas products, Fine Shadings and Décor has exactly what you need for your windows, whether big or small.

Many Hunter Douglas window treatments are available in custom sizes. However, if you’re considering mounting traditional horizontal window coverings for your large windows, you will want to consider the weight of the product. For example, long, heavy window treatments can put a strain on hardware and can be more difficult to raise and lower. If you prefer this option for your larger windows, you’ll want to avoid heavy window treatments such as wood blinds or thick fabrics unless your window is wide rather than tall.

Skyline® Gliding Window Panels are another great option for any window size, but especially larger ones. This window treatment is made of panels that stack vertically when they are open. Since they do stack tightly, you can enjoy unobstructed views through your picture windows. While all Hunter Douglas window treatments are available in many designs, Skyline panels have the largest fabric collection on the market. You can choose from over 600 colors and select from an assortment of textures and opacities. You can also choose different fabrics to alternate in every other panel. If you’re a fan of dual-purpose items, these panels can also serve as a stylish room divider.

For those looking for a more traditional window treatment that still moves from side to side, Luminette® Privacy Sheers are a modern, yet familiar option. This product features a sheer panel of fabric with fabric vanes attached to the back. These vanes can then be adjusted to control light and privacy. If you need maximum privacy, you can rotate the vanes so that they all overlap and block the view into or out of your home. Plus, when the sheers are closed, the hardware is hidden, keeping your home nice and clean. The variety of fabric choices also includes room-darkening options for those who need more light control. If you like to coordinate fabrics throughout your home, you can also get your Luminette fabric by the yard to match pillows and other items in your home to your window treatments.
