dining room window treatments in the Carolinas

When it comes to spending time in your home, second to the kitchen, the dining room gets a lot of activity. From entertaining company to dining with family, this space deserves all the love you can give it. Knowing what you need to make the space shine requires a bit of work and a whole lot of fun. Enjoy different seasons with updated dining room window treatments that last for ALL seasons and give you the privacy, light control, and point of view you desire. Choosing timeless designs will help you create the atmosphere you want and a dining room you will love (no matter the season). 

How Light Affects Dining Experience

Adding dining room window treatments to your Carolina home is a beautiful endeavor. Not only can you choose the best options for your space, but you get to create an aesthetic that matches your decor and creates ambiance with proper lighting. For instance, natural light may be pouring in but obscured by old or less resourceful window coverings. An update will help you create privacy options, maximum coverage for high sun times, and a good flow of energy throughout the day.

Best Window Treatments for Dining Room

Here, we have the ever-present existential drama of choosing the right dining room window treatments for your home. How do you know whether to go natural looking or go classic versus a modern touch? The choice is yours, all day, but here are some considerations to keep in mind that might help with your decision-making journey. 

Roman Shades 

Roman shades are a popular choice with effortless sophistication and style. For classic dining room window treatments, you get a beautiful aesthetic while also controlling light, enhancing privacy for those dinner parties and family meals, and an elegant look for your space.

Sheer Shades 

Balance the light and energy of your space with a beautiful sheer shade. Charlotte-area homes receive a lot of natural light, but you also want to control how and when to experience that light in your personal space. Designed for both small and large windows, you can enjoy the look of the outdoors, close it off for privacy, and add some home design aesthetic with drapery to coordinate with the look and style of your home.

Design Ideas by Season 

A seasonal update doesn’t have to require a lot of work. Keep the window treatments you love neutral, but update the seasonal decor. We call them evergreen window coverings, where they coordinate all year long. Drapery can layer into the space with seasonal flair, including browns and golden tones for a bit of a fall feel, and heavier fabrics, like velvets to set a cozy winter vibe. When you’re ready to perk things up for spring and summer, you can invite brighter colors, again changing out some of your decor accents to create the right look.
