Dining Room Guide: Window Treatments and More
We all know that you eat with your eyes, which is why it’s crucial to have good lighting when you eat your meals. Dining rooms rely on elements like chandeliers, overhead lighting, and window treatments to create a pleasant and relaxed ambiance. The Shade Shop is here to show you different Hunter Douglas window treatments and other interior designs for dining rooms that will create a harmonious place to eat.
Choosing the Right Dining Room Window Treatments
When selecting dining room window treatments, there are a lot of factors to consider. Our team at The Shade Shop has a few ideas for different dining room styles and what dining room window coverings work best.
Roman Shades for Elegance
If your primary concerns are privacy, insulation, and looks, consider custom Roman shades. Our Vignette® Modern Roman Shades or Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades offer great versatility and a classic look for a variety of interior design styles, such as Modern Farmhouse, Coastal, Shabby Chic, and Rustic. Roman shades offer excellent insulation and a classy look for your dining room that brings elegance to every meal.
Sheer Shades for Light Enhancement
If your primary concern is light control and aesthetics, sheer shades are definitely our top choice. Consider our Pirouette® Sheer Shades if you like the sound of UV protection and over 90 color and fabric options. If you have sliding glass doors going through your dining room, French doors, or floor to ceiling windows, we recommend our vertical Luminette® Sheer Panels for the ultimate light-enhancing experience.
Cellular Shades for Insulation and Modernity
If you’re looking for ways to have a more sustainable home or your windows are particularly drafty, it might be time to invest in cellular shades like our Duette® Cellular Shades. Cellular shades trap unwanted air at the window and prevent your cool air or heat from escaping at the window. Even better, our cellular shades offer a sleek, modern look due to their honeycomb design that will go incredibly well with interior design styles like Mid Century Modern, Minimalist, Scandinavian, and Contemporary.
Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades
One of our favorite ways to let natural light into the dining room while maintaining privacy is by utiliing top-down/bottom-up shades. This way, your shades can be open at the top of the window, letting ample light pour in, while maintaining privacy while you eat. It’s truly a win-win. You can have several different shades customized in this style, including Duette® Cellular Shades, Vignette® Roman Shades, Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.
Interior Design Tips for Dining Rooms
- Statement Lighting: Choose a chandelier or pendant light over the dining table to create a focal point.
- Bold Artwork: Hang a large piece of art or design a gallery wall to incorporate color and add personality.
- Feature Wall: Consider using wallpaper or a bold paint color to highlight a wall.
- Dining Room Table Size: Make sure to opt for a size that allows free movement and plenty of space for chairs and other furniture, like a buffet or china cabinet, if you want to add one later.
- Layers of Texture: Mix cushioned seating with wood elements, like a bench, or consider adding softness with a layered drape on your window or a tablecloth.
- Add Personal Touches: Incorporate fresh flowers in a centerpiece or elegant candle holders. Hang mirrors to make the space feel larger, and add pieces like framed family photos or display family heirlooms to make the look complete.
