Transform your Front Door with Sidelight Window Coverings
Doorways, especially those with sidelights, offer a unique design challenge and an exciting opportunity to add additional style to your home while allowing you the ability to balance privacy and natural light better. House to a Home Interiors is here to guide you through transforming your front door into a stunning entryway with perfect sidelight window coverings from Hunter Douglas.
Why Focus on Sidelight Windows?
Sidelight windows, those slim vertical windows that flank your front door, provide a wonderful source of natural light and a peek into the outside world. However, this peek can become a two-way street, potentially compromising privacy. That's why sidelight window covering is not just a matter of aesthetics; it's an essential aspect of privacy.
But where do you start? What are your options when it comes to choosing the best shades for sidelight windows? Let's explore some sophisticated window treatment solutions that will enhance your curb appeal and ensure the privacy and light control you desire.
1. Cellular Shades for Sidelight windows
For those of you looking for an option that checks all boxes—style, energy efficiency, and privacy—Duette® Cellular Shades are your best bet. Cellular shades are sometimes referred to as honeycomb shades, as their unique honeycomb-like structure helps trap air and form an energy-saving barrier against your windows. This feature makes them ideal for warm and cool climates, keeping the interior temperature comfortable and your energy bills in check.
Duette® Cellular shades for sidelight windows come in varying degrees of opacity, from sheer to blackout, allowing you to control the amount of light entering your home. Their sleek profile ensures they don't look bulky or overshadow your entrance.
2. Roller Shades for Sidelight Windows
If your home boasts a more modern or minimalist design, Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas might be the perfect match. They offer a clean, straightforward aesthetic without the frills, rolling up neatly when not in use. Available in a vast array of textures, colors, and patterns, roller shades can be custom-fitted to your sidelight windows, enhancing both the form and function of your entryway.
3. Roman Shades for Sidelight Windows
Hunter Douglas Vignette® Modern Roman Shades bring a touch of classic elegance with their luxurious fabric folds. When raised, the fabric stacks up evenly, but when lowered, they provide complete privacy and sunlight control. They are available in numerous fabric choices, prints, and colors, allowing you to match them perfectly with the other interior elements of your home.
