Treatments for triple windows

10 years ago

what kind of treatments would you do for the triple windows here? I'm leaning toward blinds (slats or cells?) since curtains will not work well due to the couch in front of one set of windows and the built in shelves below the other.

if blinds or some kind of shade--would you do individual units for each window (i.e. one for each double hung and another for the picture window in between) or a long unit stretching across the entire set of three windows?

any thoughts appreciated! thank you.

one other note--the biggest concern is limiting the amount of light coming in (this is a sunroom attached to a nursery) but not to the extent that we need blackout shades.

Hi kranzer. I've attached some photos of natural materials woven blinds on triple windows as well as one with roman shades. Blinds like these that are tailored-looking are great in small spaces since they take up much less visual space.

The brown tones would go beautifully with your blue walls and you can control the light by getting a liner or not as you please. Blinds that can be raised and lowered by the top or bottom are particularly useful and flexible in terms of light (and view) control. See what you think.

I would do some kind of cell shades, or roman shades. If you do individual ones, you can control the light and air flow better. Also, one long shade will be heavy and harder to adjust.

Cordless bottom up top down cells might be good. You can control the view and light without cords.

Hi kranzer,

These are beautiful windows and we certainly can recommend a few options for covering them! There are four different products that will work well with your windows and also compliment your space. Because you have such a lovely view, I would recommend Wood Blinds or Woven Wood Shades, though roller shades or cellular shades could also work. Wood Blinds and Woven Wood Blinds will bring a warm, natural element into the room without darkening the space, or covering your view entirely. They will offer some privacy, and give you flexibility with the amount of light that comes in to the space.

You may also consider a Roller Shade for this space. Roller Shades have a sleek, minimal design and are extremely functional for regulating light and privacy in your home with a multitude of material choices.

In terms of the quantity of shades, one larger shade may be easier to operate if you plan to raise and lower them frequently, but it will also hide all of your beautiful molding. With the right material, you should be able to achieve the function you desire with three individual shades. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, and order free swatches of all of our window treatment materials to test them out in your space.
