Every home has a unique dining room layout. As people gather in your home, the right window treatments can help transform the space. From enhanced lighting to privacy options, you can incorporate style into the look of your dining room window treatments. Whether cozy and casual to modern and formal, there’s a custom solution for every Austin home to make it feel uniquely yours.
Create an Inviting Dining Room Atmosphere
How exactly does one pick out the right kind of window treatments for their dining room? It *can be* a piece of cake, but you’ll have to consider your home’s own specific needs. You want to make sure the design is beautiful, but it needs the correct functionality. Which issues need to be solved, and how can we go about it?
Set the scene for a fabulous dining room space with the right lighting control. Filter glare from outside, while also adding soft evening glow. Texture and tone are important, so try warm fabrics, natural weaves or layered draperies to accentuate your personal style. Coordinate window coverings with color in mind that connects to your dining furniture or accent walls.
Best Window Treatments for Dining Rooms
When you think about some of the best window treatments for dining rooms, you might consider some of the options out there and how they fit into your personal aesthetic. Here are some homeowner favorites–and why they might fit into your dining room…
- Roman Shades: soften light and complement table settings
- Woven Wood Shades: natural materials like bamboo offer warmth and organic texture, and fabric
- Sheer Shades: perfect for filtering light but maintaining levels of privacy
- Plantation Shutters: easy to clean and look elegant with strong light and privacy control
- Draperies: layers add insulation and sound control while also adding texture and dimension
- Honeycomb Shades: an energy-efficient option while adding soft pleats
Diffusing the Light
Harsh light is hard on the eyes and–not to mention–your furnishings and decor. Floor-to-ceiling windows are an amazing feature, but without the correct coverings, they can be daunting.
To fix the problem of glare, you’ll need a window covering that gives you a large range of light control. Pirouette shades will do just that! They diffuse the light with their sheer fabric backing, but can be closed to keep your privacy intact. They also will block the light and provide UV protection. (And, they look amazing!)
Layering Ideas for Style & Function
The best way to bring soft sophistication into your dining room is with fabric draperies. These textiles will frame your windows perfectly and create a remarkably stylish atmosphere. If you want even more control over the light coming into this space, it can be done seamlessly with layering.
Easily blend aesthetic with utility by pairing woven wood shades with side drapery panels. Combine sheer shades with heavier curtains for a different look and more light control and privacy. This combo of layering with these Designer Banded Shades is a dream dining room window treatment. They offer maximum light control with privacy, yet are sheer enough when open to diffuse the light and allow for visibility.
We Don’t Take Privacy Lightly
Privacy is incredibly important in every aspect of your home. When you are enjoying time with your family, it is of utmost importance to keep it that way. The solution of top down bottom up is used in many rooms of the home. The top of the shade lowers to allow light in, while keeping the bottom closed for privacy. This is especially useful if your dining room is located near an area where many people pass by.
Smart & Motorized Options
Motorized shades or shutters can make light adjustments easy, especially if you host people. Get better control with your smartphone or voice assistant to move shades as needed and control with the touch of a button. Create the right ambiance for your audience and enjoy your guests and home.
Design Inspiration
Be sure to consider warm fabrics as an addition to your dining room window treatments. Look for linen, velvet, or tweed to enhance your space. Natural textures, gold-toned hardware, and more can add a seasonal aesthetic to your dining room style. If you want to refresh your dining space, look for new colors or fabrics that will enhance your existing decor and colors.
