How to Find Window Treatment for Tall Windows

Taller windows are an amazing feature in your home, but they’re often difficult to pair with the right window treatments. Not only do tall window coverings need to be large enough to fit properly, but they also need to be structured in a way that they complement both your room and your windows without drowning them. 

To perfect the look, you’ll need to choose window coverings for tall windows that highlight the room while providing enough light and privacy for your home. When it comes to these tough choices, the easiest option is to choose an automated blind or shutter system. But what if you want to add more depth with curtains? How do you choose then?

Curtains And Drapes For Tall Windows

If you’re looking for tall curtain ideas, consider using drapery for your large windows. You can customize the length of drapery and curtains to accentuate the height of the window. Because drapes are so versatile, you’ll likely find a pattern, color, and material that will match perfectly with your room if you do a little digging or hire a design consultant. 

Long drapery panels also are great for tall windows because they help to draw the eye up so you can see the full height of a window. It also creates a bold statement that can make your room look larger when done right. 

When choosing drapes for tall windows, it’s important to get the correct measurements and choose sturdy, eye-catching drapery hardware that will support the weight of the drapery fabric. As you’d expect, tall window curtains carry some extra weight with them (especially if you choose a thicker fabric), so you need to make sure your curtain rods are up to the challenge of supporting them.

When it comes to color, that’s up to you. Darker colors tend to be more bold, 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. 

From subtle to dramatic styling, nothing changes a room’s décor and your home’s environment like designer-inspired drapery from Budget Blinds. Drapery from Budget Blinds of Tempe & Central Phoenix, including the Budget Blinds Inspired Drapes® collection, provides you with the widest selection of curtains, drapes and other soft window treatments that can be further customized to match your unique style. We’re also experts at installations for windows or any size — from tall to small. 

Motorized Blinds For Tall Windows

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

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. 

We highly recommend pairing them with curtains or drapes for a pleasing aesthetic. 

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! 

From cellular to pleated shades, Budget Blinds of Tempe & Central Phoenix 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.

Motorized shades are also a popular choice for window coverings for high windows, or extra tall windows. Just like with motorized blinds, they open or close with a push of a button to make them easy for you to use. 

Shutters for Tall Windows

Shutters are generally used for average-sized windows because of their weight. But when installed correctly, they give tall windows an entirely new feel. Our shutters add a premium, inviting ambiance to a room while elevating your existing décor. Choose from a variety of designer-inspired materials and finishes. In addition to their lasting beauty, shutters provide exceptional light adjustment with their movable louvers.

The main downside, however, is they’re not motorized, so opening and closing the slats can be a hassle if you plan on adjusting them frequently.
