It’s been five years since the pandemic began, and while many of us have returned to our regular lives, the concept of working from home was a huge reality–and it still might be! As your local window covering professionals, we can tell you that the right home office window treatments are vital to the productivity, energy and success of your endeavors! Whether you’re in this space all day long, or stopping in here and there to pay bills and stay organized, you’ll never regret investing in the atmosphere and beauty that custom window coverings can bring. We’ve got a ‘top 5’ we’d love to share with you!
What Does Your Home Office Need?
The home office window treatments you choose should encourage comfort, proper lighting, privacy and reduced glare. It’s important to know which direction these windows face so you can adequately control the light. You also may need to think about privacy–and distractions. Are the windows street-facing, or do you face the yard? In addition, they should encourage your personal style. Do you like sophisticated order? Or, do you thrive in an environment of creative charm? Does the space need tidiness, or would you benefit from some free-flowing softness? All of these questions can get you thinking about which window covering vibe you’d like to showcase.
We’re Naming the Fab Five
Which window coverings do we love styling in home offices? We’re glad you asked. We’ve got a list of the top 5, and they check all the boxes for creating a customized atmosphere–perfect for your work from home space.
Sheer Shades
Topping this list, sheer shades are an ideal way to bring in natural light while taming the glare and direct rays. The sheer fabrics soften the light, allowing you remain energized over the course of the day. With sheer shades, your home office can boast a beautiful view of the outdoors, keeping you from feeling cooped up.
Roller Shades
With the ability to range from soft and traditional, to sleek and modern, roller shades are a great option for home office window treatments. They stay close to the window, inviting seamless light control and privacy. From simple textures to intricate patterning, there’s a look in our collections for everyone.
Duette Honeycomb Shades
Often described as “neat & tidy,” cellular shades feature uniform pleats and clean lines. Incredible light control is paired with energy efficiency for all-day-long comfort, no matter the time of year. If your home office faces direct sunlight, or is often at the will of exterior temperatures, this collection will maintain preferred temperatures without spiking your energy bills. They’re also known for sound absorbing qualities, so this could be a great addition to your home office when the outside noise is just too much.
Roman Shades
When you want to bring dimensional beauty to the windows of your home office, while also capturing “filtered light” with more protection than sheer shades, roman shades are a dynamic choice. Gorgeous fabrics add a look of layering at the window–a stunning backdrop with a host of benefits, including reduced glare, energy efficiency, privacy and more.
Custom Shutters
Known for their timeless style, shutters work well as home office window treatments. They offer adjustable louvers for light control and privacy. Shutters offer a framed look at the window for a sophisticated presence. The elements you choose in custom shutters are selected with other design aspects in mind, coordinating for a brilliant finish.
