Treating Windows with Custom Shades or Blinds in a Home Office

Silhouette Sheer Shades

If you’re like millions of other people across America, you might work from home, whether it’s all the time or even just a couple of days a week. And with this new-ish trend of home work seemingly here to stay, it’s best to have the home office set up to be as effective as possible. At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we have a few ideas for how best to approach treating your home office window to make the most of your workday space.

Choose Your Focus

Whether you’re looking to increase natural light, control noise, or add aesthetics, you’ll want your workspace to feel comfortable so you can be ready to focus. So first determine which of the following you would most like to achieve:

  • Minimized distraction
  • Reduced glare
  • Increased insulation

Window Treatments to Reduce Distraction

Your outside view could be diverting your attention just a little too much. One way to reduce that distraction is to add a window treatment in sheer fabric so that you can still enjoy beautifully filtered light but still have a way to keep your eyes on your computer. Silhouette® Sheer Shades are made with two layers of sheer fabric with an S-shaped vane between. All you have to do is tilt the vanes to obscure your view. Or for a larger expanse of glass, consider Luminette® Sheer Panels, which are designed with rotating fabric vanes that give you 180 degrees of light control.

Treatments to Reduce Glare

Glare can be an issue for computer work or online meetings. To keep you from squinting your whole day through, cutting back on the glare is a good idea. Roller shades work well in that arena. Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas offer clean lines and a classic look that make them great for nearly any aesthetic. Plus, you can choose the Duolite® option, which gives you a light-filtering sheer combined with a room-darkening liner so you can enjoy natural light when you want to and block the glare when you need to.

Increase Insulation With Custom Shades and Blinds

If your window leaks air from the outside, you could wind up being too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. So why not add a layer of insulation at the window? Duette® Honeycomb Shades are one of the most energy-efficient products we offer—with their honeycomb design, they trap air at the window, keeping outside air out and inside air in. Plus, you can choose from numerous fabrics and pleat sizes for just the right look for your home office.
