How to Find the Best Large Window Coverings

There are many benefits to large windows in a home. You can enjoy lots of natural sunshine, gorgeous views, and ample opportunity to add a window treatment that elevates your space while providing privacy and light diffusion. Of course, that's always easier said than done. When it comes to covering your large windows, you need to make sure that you find a style that fits your home and beautifully covers wide expanses of glass. Anything less might be ill-fitting, complicated to operate, or an improper aesthetic fit. To help you get started, we discuss how to dress up large windows and explore our favorite styles by Hunter Douglas.

Step 1: Find Materials That Maximize Light

If there's one thing large windows do best, it's let in lots of light. While enjoying a bright day is always lovely, you might not be maximizing your windows' fullest potential by leaving that pane of glass exposed. In fact, finding materials that maximize the light coming into your home can bask any room in a gorgeous glow. Silhouette® Sheer Shades by Hunter Douglas are known as the pioneers of light control thanks to their adjustable S-shaped vanes that "float" between light-diffusing front and back sheer panels. Together, these enhance the light coming through the window while protecting against glare.

Step 2: Consider The Placement

Like traveling, location is key when covering large window treatments. For example, Heritance® Wood Shutters are a beautiful addition to large windows in dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. However, if you have large windows and live in spaces with intense moisture or heat, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry rooms, opting for Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters is an excellent choice. Resistant to humidity, classically designed, and compatible with PowerView® Automation, these large window coverings are gorgeous additions to your home's large windows.

Step 3: Invest in Motorization

Speaking of PowerView® Automation, have you ever used a broom handle to adjust the shades on your large windows? Is the idea of opening and closing the window treatments on your large windows simply exhausting? We recommend pairing your new Hunter Douglas window treatments with PowerView® Automation when decorating large windows. With the system, you can schedule your window treatments to operate ahead of time or operate them in real-time via the PowerView® App, Pebble® control, or even your voice. This makes enjoying light, shade, or complete privacy an absolute breeze for your large windows.

Step 4: Installation

If you've never hung a large window treatment before, we highly encourage you to connect with our professional installers to get the job done in a timely, high-quality manner. At Jamesburg Hardware & Appliance, our experienced installers are fully trained to ensure a perfect fit for your new window coverings.
