Does your home have picture windows that let in plenty of light? Then you’re in the right place. At Pacific Shutters & Shades, we have the perfect window treatments for picture windows. Not only do our treatments work for picture windows, but for any window your home may have. Keep reading to learn about what picture windows are and three window treatments you may love for controlling light, creating more privacy, and adding to the aesthetic of your home near Carlsbad, California.

Picture windows are stationary, meaning you can’t open and close them. Many homes use picture windows to highlight a stunning view of the outdoors or an architectural element. For example, a lakeside home may have a picture window facing the lake to highlight the surrounding area's natural beauty, which you can enjoy better views of since picture windows have low-profile frames. You may also see picture windows in architectural features of a home that incorporate the view, such as a long wall of the dining room flanked by built-in shelves.

Even if your home has picture windows, sometimes having a little extra privacy and light control is what you want. Luckily, we carry plenty of products you can use to dress your picture windows to create a stunning and functional space.

One option is blinds for picture windows. Blinds are a timeless classic that can fit many design styles. If you have a home that leans into a rustic and traditional style, consider wooden blinds such as Parkland® Wood Blinds from leading manufacturer Hunter Douglas. If your home has a contemporary or modern style, you can get Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds to match the style. All of the Hunter Douglas horizontal blinds increase the privacy and light control you have in your home.

Another excellent option for your home might be shades for picture windows. Shades come in several varieties: cellular, roller, solar, and Roman. Since picture windows don’t tend to open and close, they’re more energy-efficient than other windows. This feature means you can focus on different types of shades that provide privacy and style. We recommend Hunter Douglas Vignette® Modern Roman Shades to add depth to the window even when you close the shades each evening.
