Have you been on the hunt for design ideas, interior tips or new window treatments? We are rounding out the year with the 10 most popular window covering favorites from our readers over the past year. Our team here at Skyline works hard to deliver helpful information for homeowners that will create the best atmosphere and style in their homes. Let’s look at what’s been trending…
1. Sliding Doors
Oh, yes. The sliding door window treatment is always a great place to start! So many of us have sliders, patio doors, french doors and entryways that need the ideal combination of coverage, simple function and beautiful style. What works for one home may not work for another. The function of one door may not work for another door–even in the same home. That’s why we love working with our clients in person at their homes to help them choose the best option for coordinating the look and what will work for the layout.
2. Roller Shades
There are many window covering favorites on this list, but none quite as popular as the roller shade. Simple design, low profile form. How can you go wrong? Especially when we have a few different collections to shop in addition to our Designer Roller Shades. Earlier this year, we created a guide for all the types of roller shades we offer. Check it out if you love them, but you’re not sure which look fits you best.
3. Draperies
There’s just something about the softness that custom draperies add to a room. The colors, textures and patterns tell a story of design, while the shape of the fabric and type of header style bring in a coordinated look with the rest of the room. It’s a truly personal experience to enhance the look of your home with these gorgeous details.
4. Tilt Turn
European style windows, also known as tilt turn windows, offer incredible versatility for your home. Simple access to fresh air, as the window tilts in at an angle or opens like a door. Easy to clean, these windows are a great option for homeowners. But…what about coverage? The ideal solution for covering tilt turn windows is the Hunter Douglas TrackGlide system. This narrow track adheres right up to the window frame, which means whatever position the glass is in, your window shades can be in the same position. It’s no wonder it’s become one of our window covering favorites!
5. Window Solutions
If you are a homeowner, you need window covering solutions…it’s pretty straightforward. Which solutions will fit your home best? That’s the question. We love answering questions about which products will serve you best. Stop into one of our window treatment showrooms, or invite one of our window covering specialists into your home to discuss things directly. We’re all about creating the best environment, no matter the window issues.
6. Motorization
Making life easier? Isn’t that on everyone’s to-do list? Motorized blinds are one of the most asked-about products we provide. Earlier in the year, we created a FAQ for smart blinds piece to show you that if you’re interested in automating your window treatments, you’re not alone! We’ll help you determine which level of “smart home” will fit you best, how many windows need this convenience, and all the ways this technology will enhance your life.
7. Silhouette Shades
When it comes to window treatments, covering the windows is great…when you want to block the light. But, what about reducing glare, and protecting your furnishings without blocking all the light and views? Enter Silhouette Shades. Sheer shades are an amazing way to “have it all” when it comes to the windows of your home. Enjoy the view, soften the entering light, and close it off when you want more privacy and light control.
8. Floor to Ceiling
Your home’s large windows…they offer amazing natural light and dynamic views of the landscape. One might also argue that they let in too much light and feature zero privacy. This is where our large window covering solutions will be of service. Find inspiration for the largest windows of your home. See which products can cover your windows the best, and which features help create the best atmosphere.

10. Honeycomb Shades
Decades of innovation have brought the best, energy efficient shades to homes everywhere. The Duette Honeycomb Shade has revolutionized home comfort. But, that’s not all. Cellular shades have never been as beautiful as they are today. The fabrics available are stunning, and the uniform pleats create structure and sophistication. It’s no surprise that these made our top 10 window covering favorites list.
