How to Pick Dining Room Window Treatments
The dining room is a magical space within the home. Whether you’re hosting weekly dinner parties with friends or having family over for special holidays, this room is the perfect place to eat, drink, and make wonderful memories. Before sending out invitations, of course, you will want to ensure that your dining room exudes a feeling of warmth and welcome while staying true to your interior design scheme. Custom dining room window treatments are one of the easiest ways to tie a room together or set the tone. Here are some of our favorite styles from Hunter Douglas, Alta® Window Fashions, and Carole Fabrics™ to get you started:
Step 1: Picking a Dining Room Window Treatment Style
The beauty of home design is that no two people will envision a space in the same way. For example, dining rooms can be traditional, modern, eclectic, or a style that sets a new theme. That’s why the first step in picking window treatments for dining room windows is to consider your theme. If you love a warm, traditional, classic look, genuine shutters are an excellent way to go. If your tastes lean on the minimalist side, Roman shades provide crisp lines and elegant folds for a luxurious dining room aesthetic.
Prefer something bold? Carole Fabrics™ has several hundred patterns and colors that can be layered with your current window treatments for a bold, visually dynamic look. No matter your interior design, selecting a window treatment style that complements a scheme will help elevate the space and help it feel put together.
Step 2: Choose the Right Material for Your Dining Room Windows
When selecting the best materials for your dining room windows, consider your lifestyle and the tone you wish to create. For example, homeowners with high-traffic dining rooms and/or small children should select a sturdier material for their dining room, such as faux wood blinds from Alta® Window Fashions. These bring all of the charm plus an added layer of durability (and peace of mind). If this type of durability isn’t a requirement, velvet is a stunning material that sets an elegant tone and can block out the world for excellent mood lighting, privacy, and improved acoustics. A sheer material is perfect for those who want a light, breezy feel in the room, which is perfect for casual dining. Our team is happy to discuss more material options depending on your style and home needs!
Step 3: Pick the Color of Your Dining Room Window Treatments
Custom dining room window treatments make complementing your existing décor a breeze. It also lets you further set the tone of your dining space! Neutral colors like beautiful beiges and whites create a relaxed dining room that sets the stage for casual family meals. Rich, jewel-tone fabrics like navy, emerald, or ruby add a touch of coziness and drama that is excellent for elegant holiday dinners or intimate meals.
If your dining room is leaning neutral and you want a pop of color, layering your current window treatments with patterned or textured drapery that matches the color scheme can add visual depth without cluttering the space. No matter your interior design goal with this room, our team can introduce you to a wide range of luxurious, high-quality fabrics that will transform your dining room.
Step 4: Consider Upgrading to Motorization
If you want to impress your dinner guests,
motorized window treatments are here to steal the show. For example, PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas allows you to control your window treatments in real-time or set them to a schedule that automatically adjusts them throughout the day. Imagine setting the table as your Hunter Douglas shades lower to create an intimate, romantic vibe, or rise to let in plenty of filtered light for a summer soiree. You can also choose from Alta® Motorized Shade systems that adjust your window treatments via a button or your voice. Ask our team how motorization can make operating your window treatments easier than ever in each room.
