Picture windows bring nature indoors by framing views outside, adding natural beauty as a focal point of any interior space. Non-opening picture windows are great choices for high up spaces where opening windows may not be an option.
Sash windows can help reduce heat loss during winter and block out solar rays in summer, making them much more energy-efficient than operating window types.
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are an elegant choice for larger picture windows in any home, featuring timeless style that adds timeless style. Notable features of plantation shutters include their light-filtering capability and energy efficiency; in turn, these window treatments may increase resale value of your property in the future.
These window coverings come in an assortment of materials to meet the needs of any home. Choose from wood, composite material or faux wood options; each offers distinct advantages and price ranges. Wood plantation shutters offer more traditional style; their louvers can be opened or closed to control light levels and privacy levels, making them suitable for formal rooms such as living rooms and dining rooms; however they’re equally at home in casual environments such as dens or kitchens.
Composite and faux wood shutters are cost-cutting alternatives, boasting easier maintenance and moisture resistance compared to genuine wooden shutters. However, their appearance may be less classic. As an affordable mid-range option, consider cellular shades in various colors, patterns and materials – perfect for large picture windows as they allow light into the room while providing privacy while simultaneously reducing heat loss in winter months.
Closed, the wide louvers of these window treatments provide additional insulation that makes them an effective way to lower energy costs by keeping out sunlight during summer days while trapping in heat from within the home.
When you want to open up the view and bring natural light in, simply tilt the shutter slats with an attached tiling rod. They’re easy to manipulate and can be adjusted according to your needs – for maximum privacy you may choose to close only the bottom louvers for optimal views.
Cellular Shades
Cellular shades (commonly referred to as honeycomb shades) are an energy-efficient window treatment option with modern style, designed to offer energy savings while creating an insulating barrier in order to regulate interior temperatures and decrease energy bills. Their fabric cells expand and contract to form this insulating layer, helping regulate temperatures within your home and lower energy bills simultaneously.
As well as their insulating qualities, window treatments can also be very effective at blocking sunlight and noise pollution – creating a cozy home environment and decreasing artificial lighting usage during daytime hours.
When purchasing cellular shades for your picture windows, there are various materials and designs to consider. They come in both single- and double-cell designs and with various pleat shapes – all depending on your desired look and desired functionality.

Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are ideal for picture windows, sliding glass doors and any window that is wider than it is tall. Our Brooklyn vertical blinds come in an assortment of styles and colors to fit any need or price point – from moderately priced vinyl blinds to fabric options with drapery-inspired features that provide enhanced light control. They can even be pushed aside to let sunlight pour in or hidden behind an elegant valance for an elegant, clean look.
Custom window blinds known as vanes hang vertically from a track and can be moved left or right by pulling on a continuous loop of cord that operates a chain or baton at the bottom rail of wood or metal blinds. Slats can also be rotated open or closed for privacy and light control, with additional options like remote controls to tilt them open/closed for easier use. Optional wands/remotes may also be included to tilt open/closed for convenient operation.
Vertical blinds serve their intended function of allowing in light, reducing heat and protecting from UV damage, but the slats of vertical blinds may become noisy when wind gusts or someone walks past outside. Furthermore, their pull apart or misalignment means they don’t open or close correctly and may show fingerprints and dust easily – they also pose potential safety threats if placed too low in a window.
Window treatment industry now has an effective answer to this age-old dilemma: panel tracks that combine the functionality of vertical blinds with contemporary curtain styles. Hunter Douglas offers their Skyline Gliding Window Panels which feature fabric panels interlocking tightly without blocking views; their fabric collection comes in various colors for even further customization, plus they can even come complete with matching valances for added elegance.
Graber and Norman offer innovative vertical window blinds that go far beyond traditional models. Their Decomatic Sheer Panels combine the convenience of blinds with light diffusion capabilities of sheers for increased energy efficiency and an improved modern aesthetic.
Venetian Blinds
Venetian blinds are an incredibly flexible window covering that’s loved by homeowners and office workers alike. Their robust slats can block sunlight when closed while still letting in plenty of natural light when opened; owners and workers can even control how much light comes through by changing the angle of their blind slats – providing just the right amount of sun into any given room!
These window blinds have a minimal aesthetic and are easy to keep looking their best. Many people may be put off by the thought of cleaning these window blinds, but cleaning these blinds is actually much simpler than it may appear. Most often you can easily sanitize yours in warm water with mild detergent solution (except wooden blinds which should never be immersed completely in water)
Venetian window blinds may attract you because they offer unparalleled privacy. Curtains or traditional horizontal blinds don’t allow for such levels of secrecy as others will still be able to see into your room through your windows – Venetian blinds prevent this from happening so you can enjoy sunlight streaming into your room without anyone peering inside your space.
If Venetian blinds don’t appeal to you, another popular window blind option could be cellular shades. Unlike their Venetian cousins, cellular shades do not feature overlapping slats but rather are made up of an accordion-like series of hollow tubes made of fabric which form accordion-like honeycomb-shaped blinds; these save energy because they prevent heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer, providing energy efficiency.
There is an array of styles and materials for window blinds available for you to select, and when working with professionals to get them just right for your space. 3 Day Blinds provides free window blind measurements as well as professional installation if that is what is desired; in addition, this company is dedicated to keeping their customer satisfaction ratings high, offering plenty of resources to those wishing to install their blinds themselves.
