Does your house have short, wide windows? Perhaps they look odd in your existing home decor. An easy way to transform the entire space is by adding appropriate window treatments. As they are different from standard-size windows, you will need to carefully choose the right ones. Keep reading to learn which window treatments are best for short and wide windows.
Best Window Treatments for Short and Wide Windows 01 Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains 02 Cafe Curtains 03 Sheer Curtains 04 Wooden Blinds 05 Valances
1. Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains To conceal the disproportionate look of these windows, consider floor-to-ceiling curtains. When installing them, curtain rods are placed close to the ceiling as the curtains hang softly brushing the floor or puddling on it. This creates an illusion of taller windows and instantly eliminates their disproportionate look. They also make the room appear larger and more elegant.
2. Cafe Curtains If your kitchen is styled traditionally, consider using cafe curtains to cover them. They perfectly blend with your existing decor, and their folds add a classic and elegant touch. The best way to install cafe curtains is to keep the upper half of your windows exposed while hanging them in the lower half. In this way, you enjoy privacy and allow sufficient light to enter.
3. Sheer Curtains Short, wide windows let much less light enter the room than tall ones. As a result, your room may appear dark, even during the day, especially when you install a thick window covering. Keeping them open all the time however will compromise your privacy. To avoid this, you may want to turn on your lights, but doing so will increase your electricity bills. So, the best solution is to install sheer curtains. Their thin fabric allows sufficient light to pour into the room while providing privacy.
4. Wooden Blinds Wooden blinds are an excellent option for oddly-sized windows. They are semi-translucent and offer enough light and privacy while being a style statement. If you think wooden blinds are outside your budget, faux wood blinds installation is a great option. Consider using blinds that are a little bigger than the original size of your windows. This will trick your eyes into believing that your short and wide windows are actually the size of the blinds. You can also add a blackout lining for more privacy. For interior blinds installation, it is best to hire professionals, especially if you are doing it for the first time.
5. Valances If you think hanging curtains will block your view outside, you can install valances above your short and wide windows. Pair them with Roman shades to make them visually appealing while not compromising the functionality of the window treatments. Consider mounting the valances a few inches above the window so that they conceal the shades when pulled up. This will also make the windows appear taller.
