How to Cover a Window That Has a Great View
Mountains, oceans, bridges—in this area, there’s so much to see, and many homes have a window to the good stuff. Because of that, many people are tempted to leave those windows untreated, just to preserve that view. However, doing that can be a big mistake, opening your home to the ravages of harmful UV rays and more. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County and San Francisco, we understand the importance of a good view—and have some great solutions that will balance maintaining that view with protecting your home. Check out our ideas below!
Preserving Your View
Large windows or even walls of windows are great for scenic areas. However, that can mean more sun exposure, which can expose your flooring, furniture, and décor to harmful UV rays. But never fear! Hunter Douglas offers a number of window fashion products that can help with light and privacy control, as well as aesthetics, all while maintaining your view! We’ll be happy to show you these products in person—contact one of our representatives today.
Using Sheer Shades
Rather than blocking light, sheer shades diffuse it, spreading it evenly throughout the space. Their design lets maximize natural light without having to rely on electric light, which has its own drawbacks. Sheer shades filter out brightness, glare, and UV rays, while offering great light and privacy control and bringing softness to the window. Popular Hunter Douglas styles include:
- Luminette® Privacy Sheers
- Silhouette® Window Shadings
- Pirouette® Shadings
Using Shutters
Shutters are both timeless and elegant, and in many cases, they can give you great return on investment. You can find shutters in a variety of colors and stains, which means they’ll complement or match your décor. Plus, their stylish look will stand the test of time, so even if you change your room’s aesthetic, they’ll remain a functional part of the room. On top of that, they’ll give you great view-through simply when you tilt the louvers up or down. Popular Hunter Douglas products include:
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters
- Heritance® Hardwood Shutters
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters
Using Soft Blinds
A newly introduced “first-of-its-kind design,” Aria™ Soft Blinds have slats like a shutter with the softness of a shade. These blinds are made from lightweight, translucent fabric that can transforms natural light to be radiant, soft, and gentle. They offer extra-large spacing between their slats, so you’ll get better view-through with Aria than with traditional blinds.
