Why Window Treatments Matter During the Holidays

• Create a Cozy, Welcoming Atmosphere
  Soft fabrics, rich textures, and warm tones bring comfort and joy to any room.
• Enhance Privacy and Light Control
  Early sunsets mean longer evenings. The right shades give you the ability to control natural light and privacy, especially for dining and guest rooms.
• Improve Insulation and Comfort
  Cold weather? No problem. Cellular shades and lined drapery help retain heat and reduce drafts.
• Christmas Window Décor Ideas
  The right window treatments act as a backdrop for your holiday accents, twinkle lights, and tree.

Our Top Holiday-Ready Window Solutions

Looking for inspiration? These window treatments are not only beautiful but also functional—perfect for making your home feel festive and finished.

1. Sheer Shades: Soft Elegance

Delicate and dreamy, sheer shades filter in beautiful diffused light, making them ideal for holiday brunches or cozy morning coffee. They combine the softness of fabric with the functionality of blinds—so you can tilt vanes to adjust light and privacy.

Holiday Tip: Pair sheer shades with twinkling string lights for a magical, snowy-day glow.

2. Dual Shades: Day to Night in Style

Entertaining all day long? Dual shades (also called zebra shades or layered shades) give you the flexibility to shift between light-filtering and room-darkening in one sleek product. Their modern striped design adds flair while giving you total light control.

Bonus: They look ultra-modern and minimal—ideal for complementing both festive and year-round décor.

3. Natural Woven Shades: Warm & Organic

Bring the outdoors in with woven woods made from bamboo, jute, or grasses. These earthy shades add warmth and texture to your holiday setting and pair beautifully with rustic décor.

Pro Tip: Layer them with soft side panels for added insulation and elegance.

4. Cellular Shades: Energy Efficiency with Style

Our go-to for winter, cellular shades (also known as honeycomb shades) trap air in their unique design to help maintain indoor temperature. They come in hundreds of colors and textures to match your holiday palette.

Holiday Must-Have: Use cordless or motorized options for a cleaner, safer, and sleeker look—especially around kids and pets.

5. Plantation Shutters: Classic Southern Charm

Plantation shutters bring timeless elegance to your space and provide superior light control and insulation. Perfect for showcasing your holiday wreaths or garlands, shutters frame windows beautifully in both traditional and modern homes.

Pro Tip: White shutters make red and green décor pop!

6. Roller Shades and Solar Shades: Sleek, Modern, and Easy to Use

Minimalist roller shades are perfect for showcasing bold holiday décor. Solar shades are especially helpful in rooms that get a lot of sun—they reduce glare while keeping the view.

Motorization Option: Upgrade to smart shades that sync with your home automation system and adjust with your voice or app.

7. Tableaux Decorative Grilles: Unique Architectural Flair

Want a showstopper piece? These faux iron decorative grilles add drama to archways, windows, and niches. They’re a perfect conversation starter when guests come over for holiday gatherings.

Style Tip: Choose from wood, metal, or composite finishes to match your holiday theme.

Design Ideas for Every Room

• Living Room: Combine layered drapery panels with sheer shades for softness and drama.
• Dining Room: Go with dual shades or shutters for light control during holiday dinners.
• Guest Room: Install cellular or blackout roller shades to give guests the gift of restful sleep.
• Kitchen: Use easy-to-clean solar or roller shades for style and function.
• Entryway: Add natural woven shades or decorative grilles for a wow-worthy first impression.

Make It Easy with Cordless & Motorized Options

This time of year is all about simplifying—and we make that easy with cordless lift systems and motorization options. Not only do they look clean and modern, but they’re also safer for children and pets.

With motorized shades, you can:

• Schedule your shades to rise with the sun
• Lower them at night for privacy
• Control them with your voice, smartphone, or remote

Let us show you how smart window treatments can fit beautifully into your smart home this holiday season.

Holiday Decorating Tip: Work with Your Windows

Instead of fighting your windows when decorating, use them as part of the design:

• Frame your windows with garland or string lights
• Hang ornaments from rods or valances
• Showcase candles or greenery on the sill
• Use Roman shades or cellular shades in rich holiday colors like crimson, forest green, or gold
