Stylish Shades for Large Windows
Finding shades for large windows can be challenging on several fronts. First, window treatments large enough to cover extra broad or tall windows can be weighty, which can cause difficulties with maneuverability. Secondly, large window treatments occupy a visually prominent place in the home, and so have a great deal of influence (either good or bad) over the style and mood of a room. And lastly, as shades for large windows deal with large amounts of direct light, they need to be able to stand up to the harmful aspects of sunlight that can damage or warp some materials over time. Hunter Douglas produces several lines of window treatments that are especially suited for large windows because they are durable, easy to use despite a considerable size or weight, and they come in contemporary styles with a range of modern design options. So here are our picks for the best shades for large windows from Hunter Douglas.
Sheer Shades
The beauty of sheer shades for large windows is that their diaphanous fabrics feel airy and lightweight even when covering wide expanses of windows. Their state-of-the-art design, on the other hand, is steadfast and ensures that the sheer shades do not lack modern amenities (like sound absorption and light control) and that they are easy to maneuver, open, and close.
- Silhouette® Window Shadings (available with PowerView®)
- Pirouette® Window Shadings (available with PowerView®)
Vertical Blinds
Designed for use across large surfaces and vertical spaces, the advanced design of modern vertical blinds allows for high frequency, long-term use despite the heavyweight of most shades for large windows. And thanks to their maneuverability, durability, sleek profile, and customer-friendly price point; vertical blinds are a cost-effective option for homes or commercial settings like office buildings that often have broad windows or wide window fronts.
- Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds
- Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds (available with Vertical Motorized System)
- Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds (available with Vertical Motorized System)
Hybrid Shades
Combining fabric construction with vertical applications, there are styles of hybrid shades that make great fashion-forward window treatments for large windows. Hunter Douglas proprietary operating systems ensure smooth operation for their breeds of hybrid shades for large windows, and the variety of fabric choices in the Hunter Douglas collection allow for easy harmonization with a variety of interior design aesthetics.
