Treatments for Small Windows

At Advanced Window Fashions, we’ve seen it before: a small window left bare. Small windows aren’t often allowed to live up to their full potential and add to the syle or function of a space. The right window treatment will enhance the look of both your window and the entire room and how you and your family use it. Don’t leave your small windows bare and tired looking. Use our tips to style your small windows and never wonder how to outfit them again.

Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades, treatments for small windows near Mount Pleasant, South Carolina (SC).

Shades

Shades are an excellent choice for small windows. Designer Roller Shades are available in various sizes and over 400 fabrics, ranging from sheer to opaque. The single-piece design rolls up neatly out of view when fully raised. The shade fits perfectly within the window frame, and even if you opt for a large print, the minimalist design of the shade won’t overwhelm a small window. Precision engineering ensures smooth operation with a minimal light gap—control where you want the sun to go!

Roman Shades

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are another one-piece construction window covering that can be placed inside a window frame for a space-saving design. The Stacking Style is ideal for shallow mounting depths and stacks neatly beneath a low-profile headrail. A Rolling Style is also available in a 4” full fold or 6” flat fold. Select from sheer, light-filtering, or room-darkening opacities and a wide array of fabrics, including silks, linens, and tweeds. You can dial up the style of any room by choosing a fabric option from the exclusive Alustra™ Collection.

Window Blinds

Made of wood, metal, and hybrid materials, Hunter Douglas blinds are another popular choice for small windows. Sleek, aluminum blinds from the Modern Precious Metals® line are an excellent choice for small windows in a contemporary space. The variable light control of blinds gives you the option of full sun or partial sun at any time of the day. For windows that are tall and thin, consider vertical blinds. The slats of vertical blinds rotate 180 degrees for even more light and privacy control.

Curtains

Curtains are another easy way to outfit smaller windows. Generally, an inside mount with sill-length panels produces the most attractive look, but you can create the illusion of a larger window by hanging the hardware as high and wide as the space will allow. Stick with simple styles, as any tassels or fringe will cause the window to appear smaller and will obscure incoming light.

When you’re deciding on the color and pattern of your Hunter Douglas window treatments, keep in mind that lighter colors will help your space appear more open and airier. Are bold colors more your style? No problem! Simply match the shade of your window treatments to your walls. This will help draw the eye to the window and outside space, which will create the illusion of more interior space. Prints can work if you keep them small and subtle and ensure they blend well with the rest of the room’s decor style.
