How to Cover Dining Room Windows 

Here in the Phoenix area, we know the sun—it’s powerful, it’s almost always around, and it makes things pretty darn hot sometimes! That’s one of the reasons it’s important to treat any window in a Phoenix-area home, including a window in a dining room. At Altra Home Décor, we have a full selection of window fashions to meet any need. Read on for some of our thoughts on what’s best for a dining room, and be sure to speak with one of our representatives for information on your particular situation. 

Sheer Shades

If your dining room has a great view, you might be interested in maintaining it, even with a window treatment in the space. Sheer shades are a great solution in this instance, because they diffuse light and offer privacy while offering excellent view-through. Silhouette® Sheer Shades are made with S-vane construction that lets you control light throughout the day.  

Woven Wood Shades  

Trendy yet somehow classic, adding nature to a space can bring a sense of calm and welcome. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are made from natural materials like reeds, bamboo, and grass, so they filter light beautifully. Plus, they’ll bring an organic look to the room and will complement wood furniture. To increase light and privacy control, you can add a liner.  

Roman Shades

Highly versatile and formal yet casual, Roman shades bring pizzazz to a room through color and pattern. Made in two different styles, flat fold (rolls up to the headrail) or full fold (stacks to the headrail in a traditional look), Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are elegantly tailored and have no exposed cords, so they offer a clean look and enhanced safety.

Shutters

Did you know that shutters can actually add value to a home? Classic, elegant, and timeless, they can enhance your décor while creating a stately feeling of their own. Shutters are made from a variety of materials that offer different benefits. Vinyl materials are great for a humid area, and composite materials are highly durable while looking like the real thing. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters are offered in a number of finishes, and they’ll fit in unique windows such as angles or arches.

Drapery

Whether your dining area is formal or casual, drapery will work great for the space. They can work as a standalone treatment or can layer with another window fashion directly against the window, to add dimension and depth. Drapery will contribute softness, texture, and color, and they’re highly customizable, including fabric type, pleat style, and complementary hardware.
