What Is The Best Window Treatment For A Picture Window?
Picture windows provide a panoramic view of your lovely yard as well as plenty of natural light. Because these windows are so large and their sizes can vary, we recommend custom-made window treatments.
- Sheer blinds with built-in shades: These blinds are a perfect fit for any type of window treatment. These do not require any installation and can be used as roman shades as well.
One thing to keep in mind is that you have to adjust the height at the top and the bottom so your curtains don’t get hung up on them. The disadvantage of these is that they are not very portable if you plan to relocate your curtains frequently.
- Track Panel Blinds: These are very portable and come in a variety of sizes. You can find them at home improvement stores, such as Lowe’s and Home Depot. Their disadvantage is that if you have pets or children, they will probably be able to pull them down or rip them off the track. Custom-made curtains:
These are probably one of the best choices for your picture window because not only do they allow you to choose the design, color, and fabric type; but they also come with a better quality fabric than the regular curtains found in department stores.
- Blinds that hang vertically: These are very easy to install, remove, and clean. They are also portable and easily fit into a suitcase if you ever choose to relocate your curtains.
- Motorized or solar shades: These are very convenient and come in a variety of colors and fabrics. If you do not like traditional roman shades or roller blinds, then this is a great option for you.
- Lined drapes: This is by far the most expensive type of window treatment and requires frequent cleaning but it does have its benefits as well.
