How to Cover Windows in an Older Home

Silhouette Sheer Shades

Just because a home is old doesn’t mean it has to look it. Quite the contrary—it can be as contemporary as possible, including the window treatments. No matter the year your home was built—be it the early 1900s or the late 1800s, the window treatments you choose can be anything other than fusty. At Window Treats here in Monmouth Beach, we can help you find the right window treatment to match the style and look your older home deserves. Check out some ideas below! 

Roller Shades

Roller shades are prized for their minimalist look, bringing clean lines that blend with nearly any décor. They are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and textures, so they’ll complement nearly any style and palette. Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas offer smooth, flawless operation and minimal light gaps, so they can be good in nearly any room or setting. And Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades combine the simplicity of a roller shade with the energy efficiency of a cellular shade, which can help if your home has older (leaky) windows. Their gentle curves offer visual interest, and they create softly diffused light throughout the room.

Wood Blinds and Shutters

Classic, timeless, and elegant, wood blinds and shutters are durable and sturdy, with natural grain finishes that add warmth and personality to a space. Because older homes frequently have wood flooring or stained wood trim, these types of coverings come as a good complement. Parkland® Wood Blinds, which are available in more than 50 long-lasting stains and paint, can add luxury to your room. And, although made with composite materials, Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds can bring the feeling of real wood into the room—plus their design means they can resist fading, yellowing, bowing, and warping.

Roman Shades

Classically refined, Roman shades add sophistication and a custom touch to the window. You can select from a variety of different folds, which can highly impact the overall look and feel of the space. For example, elegant Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are available in both full and flat folds, which allows you to make your room look more rounded or understated. For a more natural look, consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which are made of woven woods, grasses, reeds, and bamboo. With their artisanal background, they offer organic style and texture.
