Best window treatment for high ceiling foyer window.

13 years ago

My husband and I just purchased a new build two-story home. It has a open, high ceiling foyer with a large window above the front door that looks directly into the second floor "open" hallway. We need to find a window treatment that will allow in light and give us privacy at night. Thanks for your tips.

HI -- So what is this property in the picture ?? Anyway the best thing for the window in question is a Hunter Douglas window blind that is electrically operated by remote . They have a very slim profile and come in several degrees of privacy and sun shade capabilities .

I haven't posted a photo of the property yet. The RI Newport looking estate was auto posted. We close in eight days. Our lot size is over 6000. Our neighbors are on both sides and across the street .Thank you for the Hunter Douglas suggestion.
