❄️ Why Winter Is the Best Time to Upgrade Window Treatments
- Keep warm air in and block chilly drafts
- Diffuse harsh winter light for a softer glow
- Create a cozy, layered look in any room
- Boost energy efficiency to help manage heating costs
- Add privacy while still letting in light
And with options like cordless lift, motorization, and insulating fabrics, it’s easier than ever to combine comfort with style.
🪟 Top Winter Window Treatment Picks
1. Cellular Shades: Insulate in Style
Also called honeycomb shades, these are a winter must-have. Their unique design traps air in pockets, adding an extra layer of insulation between your home and the cold.
Perfect for:
- Bedrooms where you want warmth and darkness
- Living rooms with large windows
- Any space where energy savings matter
Want to layer them for even more drama and insulation? Add custom drapery panels for that high-end look.
2. Wood Blinds: Warm Up with Natural Texture
Wood blinds bring a rich, organic feel to your space—perfect for creating that cozy winter lodge vibe. Their adjustable slats allow you to control light and privacy easily.
Ideal for:
- Dining rooms with traditional or rustic Christmas window decor
- Home offices where you want privacy and sunlight
- Any room needing visual warmth
Want a lower-maintenance option? Try our faux wood blinds for moisture-prone spaces like bathrooms or kitchens.
3. Sheer Shades: Lighten Up Dark Winter Days
While winter is known for gray skies, the right window treatments can help you make the most of the light you do get. Sheer shades softly filter sunlight to brighten a space without harsh glares.
Best for:
- Kitchens and breakfast nooks
- Family rooms
- Any room that feels too dim in the winter months
They pair beautifully with natural woven shades for added texture and dimension.
4. Motorized Window Treatments: Effortless Comfort
Smart homes need smart shades. With motorization, you can schedule your shades to open during daylight hours to let in warmth—and close at night to retain heat. Control them from your phone, remote, or even your voice assistant.
Motorized lift is perfect for:
- Large windows
- Media rooms
- Bedrooms (hello, lazy mornings!)
They’re also cordless by design, making them a safe option for homes with kids or pets.
5. Shutters: Timeless and Energy-Efficient
Want something that feels both timeless and substantial? Plantation shutters are a beautiful, permanent solution that also insulate surprisingly well. The thick louvers block drafts and keep rooms more temperate during winter.
Excellent for:
- Entryways
- Bathrooms
- Living rooms and dens
Shutters also clean easily and look elegant year-round.
6. Tableaux® Decorative Grilles: Add a Winter Statement
Winter is a great time to add a little drama—and decorative grilles are the perfect solution. These versatile panels can be used over windows, niches, or even as wall art. With styles ranging from wrought iron looks to laser-cut patterns, they’re the ultimate accent piece.
Use them in:
- Arched windows
- Kitchen transoms
- Stairwells or niche cut-outs
They tie in beautifully with holiday window decor and add architectural interest throughout the winter months.
