Our advice Buying Guide

Picture windows do a lot more than let in a surplus of sun into your living room and give you unobstructed views of the horizon. They also provide you with a perfect stage for décor.

Yes, large glass panels that extend from floor to ceiling make for a very alluring, empty canvas that can be painted in many exciting ways.

So if you are at wits end trying to do justice to the architectural asset in your home, here are some tips and recommendations to help you get started.

How to draw attention to picture windows?

Curtains

To draw attention to the windows, you can use draperies or curtains. Curtain rods can be installed on either sides of the windows keeping the glass portion empty. You can also install them an inch below the ceiling or the crown molding to create an illusion of maximum height and depth.

Drapes that extend all the way to the floor can add some instant drama to the setting. You can also use valance curtains to create a theater-styled effect. Depending on whether you are looking to let in the sun or block a little of that bright glare, you can choose between sheer drapes or heavy ones.

There are tons of options when it comes to fabrics. In sun rooms, fade resistant fabrics work best. Leave the silk for the upholstery.

Wallpapers

Wallpaper decoration around the picture windows is an easy way to make them the focal point. Floral patterns and damasks work best.

Moldings

Window moldings can be painted to create a contrasting pop-out effect against the wallpaper.

How to select the best blinds and shades for picture windows?

Picture windows made a resounding comeback in post-war homes with contemporary décor. So, blinds go extremely well with them. From vertical blinds that offer excellent light control and privacy, to Venetian blinds that allow you to switch between admiring views and having the room all to yourself, your options are unlimited.

Some of the popular material choices in blinds are wood, faux wood, plastic, synthetic composites and even metal. Some of these can get really heavy when covering an entire large picture window and bowing might occur.

Irrespective of which variety you choose, opt for a continuous cord loop system that makes it easier to raise and lower the blinds. Another option is to use a single head rail with multiple blinds installed.

It allows you to control each blind individually and also does the bulk of the lifting, eliminating the problem with heavy materials. Cellular shades are an easy way to filter in the light or block it completely. An added perk is that they can conserve energy.

If you wish to go old school, Roman Shades are an infallible choice. They are elegant, timeless and come in many styles like hobbled and flat. These are easy to operate and provide excellent privacy and light control.

Your window treatment is a critical part of the visual structure of any room. Play with styles, patterns, and shades to create a stunning style statement that’s easy to operate and control.
