If the pandemic taught us one thing–and one thing only– it’s that you can work from anywhere. That includes your home office. Life has returned to “normal,” but going into the office might still be a thing of the past for many of us. As your local window covering pros, we know that having the right home office window treatments can make a big difference! Whether you use your home office for all-day work or to simply pay bills in the evening, setting the tone is crucial. Here are the top 5 we love!
What Are Your Home Office Needs?
The window treatments you select will help set the vibe in your office. Things that are important here? Lighting, privacy and minimal glare check boxes for most people. What about customizations specific to your home? Think about which direction your windows are facing–this affects how much sunshine you receive over the course of the day. Limiting distractions is also something to take into consideration. (Even as I’m writing this, the squirrels keep catching my attention outside the window. It’s valuable for me to be able to lower my blinds to help me stay focused.) What kind of space do you thrive in? Do you prefer sophistication or eclectic design? Are you highly organized or a creature of chaos? The answer to some of these questions can help you decide which direction you’d like to go with your home office window treatments.
Top 5 Faves!
If you’re left wondering which home office window treatments we’d recommend, we’re here for you! We’ve got our top 5 favorites…
Sheer Shades
Taking a high spot on our list is the sheer shade. We love the look of the Hunter Douglas Silhouettes and Pirouettes. The natural light entering can feel dreamy and romantic, and believe it or not, they are also excellent at glare control. You’ll get a good view out your window without the atmosphere feeling chaotic and intense..
Roller Shades
Roller Shades are an excellent choice! They can be whatever you want them to be; the options are endless. Sleek and soft, modern or traditional, you really can’t go wrong with this window treatment. Wonderful at light control, privacy and anti-glare, they also come in different patterns and textures to fit your personal style.
Duette Honeycomb Shades
Let’s move on to Honeycomb Shades. Often referred to as a “polished and put together” shade, they deserve all the praise! The pleats and clean lines make them a minimalist dream. Great at temperature control, cellular shades keep your home comfortable all day long. (They’re great for energy efficiency!) Something else that makes these little honeycomb cuties great is they absorb sound. So, your office will stay nice and peaceful while you work…or hide from your family, pretending to be super-involved in paperwork. (We won’t tell!)
Roman Shades
Roman Shades are a timeless choice for a reason. They make a lovely backdrop for your space, offering a wide range of fabric choices and their ability to layer like a dream. These beauties aren’t going anywhere! Besides being lovely, they are also energy efficient, glare reducing and offer that much-needed privacy. We love a shade that can do it all!
Custom Shutters
Custom shutters are a great choice for a home office! Chic and timeless, they offer excellent light control and privacy. These timeless classics bring such an elegant look at the window, they really are a show stopper. You can also match your finishes and colors to your personal style, coordinating with other design elements in your home–you really can’t go wrong.
