Why You Should Layer Shades and Curtains
The art of layering applies to fashion, makeup, and haircuts, but Jackie and Bill's Drapery & Interiors design team focuses this approach on window treatments. More is certainly better for certain decor schemes because of the added benefits homeowners enjoy. Layering shades and curtains works for standard windows and specialty shapes like arches, so you won't feel limited.
The Benefits of Layered Shades and Curtains
These benefits convince our clients to layer their window treatments:
Precise Light and Privacy Control
A shades-and-curtains setup lets you easily manage natural light. Adjust the shades throughout the day to filter sunlight, and close the curtain to block glare and create a darker setting. You get the best of both worlds:
- Gentle daytime illumination that protects privacy and controls UV rays.
- Room darkening for complete light and privacy control when needed.
This combination is ideal for bedrooms because dark rooms are more conducive to sleep. We also recommend this combination for other living spaces, like recreation rooms and dining rooms. It also works in larger kitchens but avoids excessively heavy fabrics.
Added Insulation and Energy Efficiency
The right coverings create insulation at windows—that kind of energy efficiency saves on heating and air conditioning bills. As the first honeycomb shade on the market, Hunter Douglas.
Duette® Cellular Shades are specially engineered to provide energy efficiency in cold and warm climates. Their specially engineered cellular construction traps air to create an insulating barrier. When combined with thick drapery, they provide additional insulation. Duette® Cellular Shades are impressively versatile, with horizontal and vertical applications, plus a wide range of sizes, textures, and colors. We also customized them for specialty-shaped windows and glass patio doors.
Stunning Texture and Depth
Now that we've covered the practical aspects of layering shades and curtains, let's move on to the all-important style. When you combine shades and curtains, you introduce new elements that add dimension and personality to windows and rooms. For instance:
- Contrasting textures, like a woven shade with flowing drapery, create a balanced look.
- A neutral shade with patterned curtains can add visual interest.
- A tone-on-tone approach brings a subtle, sophisticated effect.
- Pairing sleek roller shades with floor-length drapes offers a clean and refined appearance.
- Roman shades with pleated drapery bring softness and a classic feel to traditional interiors.
Drapes for Arched Windows and Other Unique Solutions
Homeowners love their arched windows, but covering these features without diminishing their appeal can be challenging. To highlight the shape, we often suggest cellular shades and drapes for arched windows. Mounting curtains above the arch preserves the window's character while offering flexibility in coverage.
Hunter Douglas shades can be custom-fitted for arches for a structured look that follows the window's lines and curves; adding drapery softens the edges and frames the window beautifully. That's an excellent option for living rooms, entryways, and other rooms with large wall space.
