Window Treatments for Large Windows - Best Choice

Large windows are an attractive and sought after feature in new homes. Allowing for ample natural light and unobstructed views of picturesque exteriors, they create brightness and space in any room. As large windows become an increasingly popular architectural feature in modern homes, window treatments for large windows have become increasingly creative. From fabric window treatments and drapes or curtains to window blinds and shades, there are a wide range of stylish options for decorating your large windows.

Fabric Window Treatments

Fabric window treatments for large windows are among the most common decorative choice. Including curtains, drapes, and sheers, fabric treatments are elegant and functional. Light fabrics are usually recommended for rooms with high moisture content, as they are less likely to retain moisture. Alternatively, heavier materials can provide excellent privacy and even an extra barrier to temperature changes.

When it comes to decorating your windows with fabric, there really are a wide range of attractive options. Single panel or multi-panel curtains and drapes each provide slightly different styles but the same benefits. Single panel curtains can be drawn to one side, whereas multi-panel alternatives generally open in the middle and do a very nice job of framing your window when you choose to let light in. Café curtains are also becoming a popular design choice; these curtains cover only the lower portion of your window and can be paired with valances to create an elegant window treatment.

Fortunately, fabric window treatments come in a number of standard sizes and many homeowners will find the perfect fit at their local home design stores. However, even for odd-sized windows, custom fitted fabric treatments are relatively inexpensive while giving your windows a very polished look.

Window Blinds and Shades

Blinds and shades are very clean, contemporary window treatments that are distinctly different from drapes or curtains. Blinds are fabricated from an impressive range of materials from bamboo, jute, or paper to various woods like mahogany, pine, or oak. Vertical blinds are often the go-to-choice for large windows, but custom blind makers can treat any size window with horizontal blinds as well. Another treatment similar to blinds are known as panel tracks, which are usually made from fabric and are attached to tracks so they glide easily along your large window. They feature clean edges and modern design and as such panel tracks are becoming a popular window treatment.

Ultimately, when you are deciding how to decorate your large windows, consider treatments that match your personal style and décor. You will want to consider colour schemes, durability, and functionality before you make any final decisions. Still, whatever window treatments you prefer, you are sure to find an attractive and stylish option for your beautiful large windows.
