Popular Window Treatments for Small Windows

Elden Draperies, Blinds, and Shades • 29 April 2026

At Elden Draperies, Blinds, and Shades, we love dressing windows of various shapes and sizes. However, we do know how daunting the task can be. This is especially true for small windows. You want something that reflects your style, fits perfectly within the window frame, and operates smoothly.

This can be difficult to achieve when you select from big box store window treatments. Fortunately, when you select from our top brands, such as Hunter Douglas and Alta® Window Fashions, you can invest confidently, knowing each style is customized to your needs. Here are some of our favorite options for the smaller windows in your home, including sidelights:

Duette® Cellular Shades for Small Living Room Windows

Even the smallest window in your home can cause temperature swings, glare, and energy loss if it's not properly insulated. That’s why we love Duette® Cellular Shades by Hunter Douglas for small windows. Designed to fit within standard and non-standard shapes (like angles, arches, and circles), these shades fit perfectly against small windows to ensure proper coverage, light control, and comfort. They’re also available in several colors to blend in with your current decor or stand out as a fun focal point. 

Here are a few more reasons why you’ll love Duette® Cellular Shades for small windows:

  • Custom-made to fit small and specialty window shapes precisely.
  • Cellular design improves insulation and energy efficiency.
  • Available in light-filtering and room-darkening options for tailored light control.

Window Treatments for Small Windows: Roller Shades 

Roller shades are another one of our favorite choices for small windows. They provide excellent light control and daytime privacy without adding bulk to the frame. Perfect for minimalist homes, roller shades roll up tightly to maximize natural light and keep your window uncluttered. Tailored to fit your windows perfectly, these shades are excellent for both unique and traditional small windows.

Here are a few more reasons why you’ll love roller shades for small windows:

  • Slim, minimal design keeps small windows visually clean instead of bulky.
  • Available in over 600 colors and fabrics for effortless customization.
  • Optional side and bottom channels help reduce light gaps and improve insulation.

Window Treatments for Small Living Rooms: Silhouette® Sheer Shades

Silhouette® Sheer Shades are another of our top choices for small windows because they combine light control and privacy without adding bulk to the window frame. Their floating vanes are suspended between two sheer fabrics, which allows light to filter in while still softening harsh glare. This makes smaller windows feel brighter and more open without sacrificing privacy or comfort.

Here are a few more reasons why you’ll love Silhouette® Sheer Shades for small windows:

  • Fabrics diffuse natural light while maintaining your views.
  • Adjustable vanes allow for flexible light and privacy control.
  • Enhances natural light without creating harsh glare or damaging UV exposure.

Faux Wood Blinds for Small Windows

Faux wood blinds are excellent for small windows in high-energy spaces like playrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and kids’ rooms. Lightweight and durable, they are a low-maintenance option that packs a powerful design punch with various colors. No matter which of our two excellent brands you choose from, they fit perfectly within various window shapes and operate with ease. 

Here are a few more reasons why you’ll love metal blinds for small windows.

  • Durable slats direct light where you want it and provide privacy when you need it.
  • Resistant to heat and moisture, making them great for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Their slim profile fits shallow frames without looking bulky.
