Our Top 5 Favorite Home Office Window Treatments

Five years ago, the pandemic reshaped a lot of our daily routines. Although many of us are back to our traditional offices, some continue to work from home. Perhaps full-time, or in a more hybrid setup. Because of this, home offices are still a priority. It is of utmost importance to create the ideal working environment. This is where the right home office window treatments can make or break your level of productivity. To make sure you’re set up for success, we want to share our top 5 favorites to create a beautiful and constructive home office atmosphere.

What Should Your Home Office Window Treatments Do?

The perfect window treatments should do more than just look good. They should:

  • Provide comfortable and adjustable lighting
  • Offer privacy from street views or neighbors
  • Reduce glare
  • Lower the distractibility
  • Reflect your personal style

Consider which direction your windows face to determine what kind of light control you’ll need. Does your space need to feel tidy and structured, or would a softer, more relaxed vibe help your creativity flow? Your answers will guide you toward the best fit.
