While vertical blinds used to be the most common way to cover large windows and patio doors, they’re no longer your only option. From cellular shades and sheers to sliding panels and interior shutters, there are a variety of window treatments that can fit your needs and personal style.
Vertical Cellular Shades:
If you live in a particularly hot or cold climate, vertical cellular shades are ideal because they offer superior energy efficiency. And what’s nice is that when you open them, the pleated fabric contracts almost completely, so you have plenty of view-through.
Sheer Vertical Shades:
With soft, sheer fabric facings attached to soft rotating fabric vanes, sheer shades beautifully diffuse natural light while offering the functionality of vertical blinds.
Panel Track Blinds
Made of flat, fabric panels that slide on a track, panel track blinds are a sleek, contemporary alternative to vertical blinds.
Interior Shutters
Shutters are also a great choice. But before choosing an operating system, check how much clearance you have around your door or window.
Keep in mind that if you’re covering a door, choose a window treatment that traverses side to side. Fortunately, with so many styles these days, finding a solution is easy!
