Top Window Treatments for Home Offices

Many more people have been working at home since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Whether you’re new to working from home, or a seasoned veteran, you want your home office to be both attractive and comfortable. When attempting to achieve the perfect mix of aesthetic appeal and practicality, there are some things you should consider, including light control, privacy, visual appeal, convenience, and energy efficiency. Once you’ve decided which factors are most important for you, it’s time to decide on a window treatment. We’ve put together a list of the best window treatments for home offices to help you decide.

Window treatments near Saint Michael, Minnesota (MN), for home offices, including custom shutters

Shutters

Interior shutters are an easy way to add a touch of style and sophistication to your office. They reduce distractions by blocking incoming light and increasing your privacy. You can also tilt the louvers to reduce glare on screens to help your productivity. Shutters also reduce heat transfer through windows to help maintain a comfortable temperature in your office. They are easy to clean with a vacuum brush attachment, or a soft cloth. Hunter Douglas offers both hardwood shutters, and faux wood shutters for home offices in any climate. With an abundance of perks, it is easy to see why shutters are one of our top window treatments for home offices.

Roller Shades

For a combination of refined appearance and superior sun protection, roller shades are one of the top window treatments for home offices. They are great for controlling glare, incoming heat, and damaging UV rays. These factors increase energy efficiency, and reduce your heating and cooling bills over time. The Designer Roller Duolite® Shades from Hunter Douglas pair a light-filtering sheer panel, and a room-darkening liner on a single roller. This gives you the option for 100% darkness for online presentations or meetings.

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades are a durable and affordable window covering solution. They are excellent at blocking light and also reduce outdoor noise, which is helpful if you live on a busy street or in a city. They are available in a wide range of colors and patterns and can easily be customized to match your existing decor. Cellular shades are relatively easy to maintain, but do accumulate dust in the fabric folds. To remove this dust, simply use a blow dryer on the lowest, coolest setting.

Aluminum Blinds

Metal blinds are practical, functional, and affordable, making them excellent window treatments for home offices. They give your home office a sleek appearance, and offer exceptional variable light control. Aluminum blinds are incredibly durable and water resistant, making them a great choice for homes in humid climates. The Modern Precious Metals® collection from Hunter Douglas is available in numerous colors, and finishes, from mattes to metallics and pearlescent hues. They are also easy to clean using a soft, microfiber cloth.
