Serving Up Dining Room Window Treatments

The dining room is used for entertaining and enjoying meals together over stories and passing the salt. This is a gathering place, and no matter what the layout is, it’s important to make sure the main course is the right atmosphere. If the dining room window treatments are being correctly executed, it makes a huge difference.

Dining Room Window Treatment Ideas 

It’s an obvious choice to want treatments that look nice and are stylish, but let’s talk about solutions. If you have issues you want to solve, there are window coverings with the correct functionalities. To create a cozy ambiance in your dining space design, consider incorporating the right window treatments to add style and function to your seasonal gatherings. This time of year is beautiful here in Reno, so be sure to choose dining room window covering solutions that reduce glare and direct light without taking away your mountain views.

Time of day, placement in the home, or size of windows should all be taken into consideration. Take this before-and-after picture, for example. The dining room goes from miserable glare to an inviting place to share a dish and a laugh in an instant.

Elegant Drapery Panels for Soft Style

Draperies are an amazing addition to your treatments to frame the windows. The fabric’s texture creates a softness and gentle allure that can be neutral or bold, depending on the pattern or color. If even more light control is what you’re after, try layering drapery with window shades.

Banded Shades are a fantastic base shade to then be able to build off. They offer privacy and closed-off light control, all while diffusing the light. Fabric choices are important for deciding on dining room window treatments. Choose sheer and lined options for flexible mood lighting or try warm-toned textiles for fall and winter ambiance. 

Roman Shades for a Tailored Look

No one wants to eat a meal with the sun just flooding into their eyes. Squinting is not comfortable and should be completely eliminated with the right dining room window treatments. If you want to bring energy efficiency into your home along with a luxurious look, add patterns and textured fabrics to elevate your dining room windows.

Another great option for floor-to-ceiling or large windows is Pirouette shades. The sheer fabric diffuses the light eliminating glare and can be shut for complete privacy and protect your home from the harsh UV rays.

Plantation Shutters Bring a Classic Design

Custom shutters are a beautiful, timeless choice for easy control and simple maintenance. No muss, no fuss–they always look great. Choose tones that match the trim of your home for coordinated design, or create a striking look with a contrasting color, showcasing the wood grain.

The Split tilt design lets light in while maintaining privacy. The bottom louvers can be easily turned to open or closed. This is similar to top down bottom up shades which close off the bottom of the window, but allow light to enter. These features are great for dining room windows, especially if there is a lot of foot traffic causing disturbances outside. You can have privacy while enjoying your meal, but you are able to let the extra light in too.  

Woven Wood Shades for Natural Texture

A stunning option, available for dining room window treatments, is woven shades, crafted with the organic look of bamboo and other natural fibers, designed to bring a sense of outdoor elements inside. Customize with dual shade options or layers for added beauty. Look for woven wood textures like Provenance® Woven Wood.
