How to Find Window Treatments for Tall Windows

Taller windows are an amazing feature in their home; they bathe your home in natural light and make your home feel warmer and more inviting. However, their height does come with a drawback: it can be difficult to pair them with the right window treatments. Some will look too bulky, while others can look too bare. So today, we at Budget Blinds of North Glendale are tackling the challenge of finding the perfect window treatment for tall windows. 

To get the perfect look, you’ll need to choose a window treatment that both highlights your window while providing the desired level of light and privacy. The obvious choice is motorized blinds or shades, but if you want something with a little more depth and pizzaz, we’ve got you covered.

Curtains And Drapes For Tall Windows

If you’re looking to use curtains, consider using drapery for your large windows. When you shop with Budget Blinds of North Glendale, you can customize the length of drapery to accentuate the height and width of the window. With our drapes, your windows won’t be drowning in material — it will be just right. On top of that, we have countless patterns, textures, and colors that match nearly every taste and style. You won’t have to compromise to find your dream drapery. 

Long drapery panels also are great for tall windows because, when done right, they accentuate the window’s height. They draw your eye up to highlight the best feature of the room. 

When it comes to color, that’s up to you. Darker colors tend to be bolder, but they also have a habit of making the drapes look bigger than they are, thus minimizing the size of the room and window. Neutral shades are safe for any room, but it just depends on what you want.

It’s important to get the correct measurements and choose sturdy, eye-catching drapery hardware when you’re selecting drapes for tall windows. As you’d expect, the taller the drape, the more it will weigh, so you’ll want to make sure the hardware can handle it. Our owners, Chelsea and James will ensure the job is done right the first time — James himself will likely be the one installing your new window treatments! 

Motorized Blinds For Tall Windows

Curtains and drapes aren’t the only options for tall window treatments. Motorized blinds are also a great choice for covering large windows. You also won’t have to worry about adjusting them throughout the day or season, as they’ll move with a push of a button. 

Motorized blinds for tall windows are a great choice for consistent light control or privacy in kitchens or bathrooms – rooms where you can expect to leave your blinds open or closed for extended periods of time. However, on their own, they can seem a little plain against such a wonderful feature in your home. We highly recommend pairing them with curtains or drapes for a pleasing aesthetic. 

The downside of blinds is that they do impair views and don’t give you total light control when they’re down. While you get total privacy, there will always be some light seeping through closed blinds, and there will always be slats in the way when they’re open. If this isn’t your ideal style, we recommend window shades. 

Motorized Shades For Tall Windows

Shades are also great for tall windows. Since shades come in a variety of styles and fabrics, they can be customized to fit the room’s style, location, or light coverage needs, as well as be modified to fit larger sizes. You can choose from Roman, Roller, Cellular, Bamboo, and more! 

Motorized shades are also a popular choice for windows of any size, though extra convenient for larger windows. Just like with motorized blinds, they open or close with a push of a button to make them extremely easy for you to use. 

We also have a plethora of options available to you. From cellular to pleated shades, Budget Blinds of North Glendale offers a stunning collection that transforms a room instantly. Our collection of window shades offer a complete line of woven shades in soft, natural fibers like jute and flax, and an exclusive choice of custom roller shades in contemporary prints and colors.

Shades are perfect for versatility as well. You can open them or close them entirely, and pick a material that is as transparent as you like. If you want extra light-blocking or privacy, we can easily add a liner to the back of them as well.

Shutters for Tall Windows

You may think shutters are too heavy or bulky for tall windows, but when done right, then give your room an entirely new and seamless feel. Our shutters add a premium and inviting ambiance to a room while elevating your existing décor.In addition to their lasting beauty, shutters provide exceptional light adjustment with their movable louvers. 

They can even be motorized too! This means you won’t need to struggle to open or close them — they’ll automatically do it for you with a push of the button!
