5 Living Room Window Treatments to Transform Your Space

Your living room windows work harder than any others in a Southwest Florida house, since they handle afternoon glare, the view you paid for, and whatever the AC is fighting that day. We've been hanging window treatments here since 2000, and five options come up in almost every living room consultation. Here's what each one does well.

Sheer Shades for Living Room Windows

Silhouette® Sheer Shades hold fabric vanes between two sheer panels, so you tilt the vanes to cut glare while daylight still comes through softly. Pirouette® Sheer Shades work the same way with a flatter, more tailored front.

If you want to add the ease of motorization, adding PowerView® Automation on Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Pirouette® Sheer Shades lets you open and close your window treatments from your phone, on voice command, or to be set on a schedule.

Solar Roller Shades That Keep the View

Gulf-coast light is the trade-off for a good view, and a solar screen roller shade fixes the glare while leaving the view intact. Our selection of custom solar shades uses an open-weave fabric that cuts UV rays coming through the glass and lets you keep watching the golf course or the water.

Pick a tighter weave for a west-facing wall and a more open one where the view matters most.

Cellular Living Room Shades for Florida Heat

Duette® Cellular Shades trap air in their cells, which slows the heat coming off the glass and takes some load off your air conditioning during July. They also absorb sound, which helps in a living room with tile floors and tall ceilings.

These custom cellular shades also offer top-down/bottom-up operation, so you can drop the top few inches for daylight while the bottom stays closed against the afternoon sun.

Living Room Blinds with Adjustable Slats

Wood blinds and faux wood blinds still suit living rooms with traditional trim, since you can tilt the slats throughout the day and close them at night without giving up the window. Meanwhile, vertical blinds handle sliding glass doors, where a wide panel must stack cleanly out of the walkway.

Pairing Custom Drapery and Side Panels

Stationary side panels frame a window and soften the hard edges of a shade underneath. We design drapery here and have it made by a local workroom, using fabric from houses like Stout, Fabricut, and Kravet, then hang it on hardware picked to match.

Layering a drapery panel over a roller or cellular shade gives you both, which is how most of our living rooms end up.
