Choosing Shades for Skylights and Sidelight Windows
Having skylights and sidelights in your home creates beautiful visual interest with flowing natural light. While these windows are great to have, you might want the perfect shades for more privacy and light control. Skylights require specific shades, while you have a few more options when dressing your sidelights.
Our team at Wessco Blinds has some options for these shades, including Vignette® Roman Shades and Duette® Cellular Shades from Hunter Douglas, which are excellent for these unique windows in your home.
Sidelight Window Roman Shades
Sidelights are a stunning feature for your front door. They let you see your front yard or whoever's at your door while offering gorgeous natural light to fill an entryway. Sidelight window Roman shades are a top choice because you can customize them to fit windows with narrow widths, offering a fitted, crisp look. They’re luxuriously soft and feature uniform cascading folds that create an effortlessly elegant style at your windows.
Additionally, they allow you to enjoy privacy without sacrificing the natural light that makes sidelights so appealing. Vignette® Roman Shades feature a cordless design, making them a sleek and safe window treatment option. You can choose from Luminette® Sheer Panels as your sidelight shades if you want a soft glow filtering into your space.
Skylight Cellular Shades
As any homeowner with a skylight knows, these windows let in abundant sunlight into your home. They’re fantastic for brightening and opening up spaces like bathrooms or living rooms. However, they can also let in too much heat during the summer or cause heat loss in the winter. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades offer insulation due to their unique honeycomb design, helping keep your home comfortable. This type of insulation from your shades can help lower your home’s energy bills and keep your home quieter.
When paired with PowerView® Automation, you can operate your cellular shades with your smartphone using the PowerView® App. You can also open and close your shades with the Pebble® Remote or pair the motorized solution with a voice control system.
Pair Shades for Skylights and Sidelights Together
If you have a skylight and sidelight in the same room or close together, choosing Roman and cellular shades that work well with one another is beneficial. For example, select a similar fabric color for a polished appearance if they're in the same room.
On the other hand, if the windows aren’t in the same space but are near each other, you can pick complementing shades to create a cohesive look and pair well with surrounding décor.
