What are the Best Shades for Small Windows?

Big or little, all windows in our homes require coverage for privacy and environmental control. However, special considerations arise for the smaller windows in a home, especially for different rooms. That’s where our team at South Kendall Interiors can help you sort through the stylistic and performance options of shades for small windows. Our extensive product knowledge will guide you through styles and features.

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach® Polysatin® Shutters in Miami, Florida (FL)

Shades for Small Windows in Bathrooms

For small windows in the bathroom, we like the clean lines and customizable shapes of interior shutters. The louvered design means you can have privacy and ventilation simultaneously as the louvers tilt up to block the view but allow natural airflow to pass. The view-through visibility of shutters also has an opening effect in bathrooms to help the window and the space feel larger. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters will perform exceptionally well as shades for small bathroom windows thanks to their materials’ resistance to UV rays and moisture.

Shades for Small Windows in Entryways

In the entryway of a home, there might be sidelights, transom windows, or small specialty-shaped windows accompanying the doorway. You can cover these small or specialty windows with cellular shades that drape the feature with an insulating cover that dampens sound, helps minimize energy loss, and provides privacy and light control for homeowners. Duette® Cellular Shades from Hunter Douglas have options for vertical and horizontal applications for maximum installation flexibility.

Shades for Small Windows in Family or Living Rooms

Since family rooms and living rooms are hubs of activity in the home, we like to use light-loving shades to dress their windows to provide natural illumination for any activities that might go on there. In the Hunter Douglas collection of sheer shades, homeowners will find Silhouette® Sheer Shades, a horizontal shade that dresses small windows for better light control with a soft, graceful aesthetic. The spectrum of light control with these shades for small windows comes through the intelligent, interwoven use of sheer and opaque materials.

Shades for Small Windows in Bedrooms

Shades for small windows don’t always have to match the exact size of the window itself. With drapery, homeowners can create the illusion of larger windows beneath by installing the drapes higher and broader than the actual dimensions of the window itself. Since you can install drapery at virtually any height or width, you can tailor the installation specifications of your drapery to the space they are in. With custom drapes offering thousands of fabric options, this is one of the most customizable shades for small windows.
