Window Treatments for Large Windows

Everyone loves looking out at the world from their windows, experiencing breathtaking natural wonders while still in the comfort of modern construction. Large windows allow you to bring so much of the outdoors into your home. But when the blazing, mid-day sun is roasting the inside of your home, you may start to do something to manage those large windows better.

So today, our in-house designers and window treatment experts at South Kendall Interiors, Inc have some advice about turning your large windows into an exciting focal point for your home. With custom window treatments from the Hunter Douglas catalog, even the largest windows can be turned into living works of art in your home.

Choosing Window Treatments for Large Windows

Window treatments are a great way to make your room feel more like home. You can use window treatments to create a focal point in any room, but choosing wisely is essential for a cohesive look.

  • Make sure the size of your window treatments is proportional to your room size. If you have an especially large window, consider drapery or a valance to soften the hard edges of your window treatment. Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery are an excellent option for adding more size and volume to the edges of extensive, flat window treatment.
  • Don't use large window panels in small rooms - they'll look silly! And if you're trying out new designs for a larger space, don't go crazy with fancy fabric swatches; find one style that works best with the rest of your furniture and home decor.

Window treatments for big windows can turn your large window into a focal point and highlight the beauty of your home

If you have a large window, it can make your room look larger and more elegant. Adding a well-made, custom window treatment can elevate that elegance to an entirely new level.

Window treatments custom-made from light fabrics such as muslin or sheer will filter out sunlight while letting in natural light. They also look more elegant than blinds or curtains when appropriately hung on a wide opening like the one found in front of a long wall-to-wall window! Hunter Douglas Alustra® Woven Textures® Panel-Track Blinds are the perfect option for those who want sophisticated fabrics in their window treatments.

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are an excellent option for big windows. They can be installed inside or outside your window frame, so you can choose how they look and what type of material you choose.

Vertical blinds come in many styles and color options, including ones that let more light in during the day, like Hunter Douglas Luminette® Sheer Panels.

Treat Large Windows Like Walls

Window treatments are great for adding privacy and style to any home, especially since large windows create many sight lines from the outside. Finding the right window treatment for a large window can seem overwhelming, but changing your mindset can dramatically shift your available options.

Treating a large window more like a wall can help you pick window treatment options that will fit into your home better. Like a wall, a large window offers a flat space that needs to be covered with something that won't be too distracting while still looking good. Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds from Hunter Douglas are a great example of a window treatment that will tastefully cover a large window without coming off as tacky or noisy.
