How to Cover Small Windows In Your Baltimore Home
The big, fancy window treatments you see on design shows or in the pages of home magazines are breathtaking, but those aren’t typical for every home. Homeowners in Baltimore are usually more concerned with smaller windows – windows that big, luxurious drapes won’t work for.
When it comes to small windows, these are our team’s picks for the best Baltimore window treatments.
Plantation Shutters for Small Windows
Shutters Fit Small Windows No Matter What
Interior shutters are custom-built to your specific windows. That means that no matter the size or shape of the windows in your home, shutters will fit – without exception.
Small windows are in every style: casements, eyebrow, rounded, octagon windows, and several other styles. Plantation shutters can fit each and every one of them, even the shapes that other window coverings can’t.
Shutters Make Small Windows Look Bigger
Some Baltimore homeowners don’t like the fact that their small windows are, well, small. We get it, but nothing’s forcing you to tolerate a window you wish looked different. Plantation shutters can add some much-needed size to a small window, even up to multiple inches with the right frame and mount. Of course, shutters won’t really affect the size of the window, but it can make it look a lot larger than it actually is.
Shutters Help Manage Light in Small Windows
With small windows, light can be an all-or-nothing issue. Either you’re totally covering your window, or you aren’t. That’s the deal with most window coverings including as drapes or curtains. But plantation shutters let you have a bit more flexibility with how you control lighting, especially when you factor in styles like cafe shutters for small windows.
Custom Shades for Small Windows
The most important thing with shades for smaller windows is to shop for custom shades. The majority of small windows are in unusual sizes, so a lot of shades you get at the store will completely cover a window rather than framing it. So make sure you have the exact measurements of your windows and look at custom shades that play to your window and your space’s strengths.
Shades can make smaller windows seem a little more boxy and draw attention to their small size, so be careful about making the right call for your space.
Combining Window Treatments for Small Windows
What we’ve seen some forward-thinking Baltimore homeowners choose for their smaller windows is to combine window treatments. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be your small windows you do this with. Combine a window treatment that sticks to the frame like blinds, and hang curtains or drapes to either side to border the window.
Combining coverings makes better use of the space, and makes your room’s flow a little more seamless.
