Best Window Treatments for a Dining Room
A dining room asks something specific of its windows: bright, pleasant light for daytime meals, cozy privacy for evening dinners, and a look with a touch of elegance, since this is a room for gathering. Here are the best dining room window treatments to set the right mood at any hour.
Elegant style for a gathering room
The dining room is a place for a little refinement. Plantation shutters bring a timeless, tailored elegance, roman shades add soft, upscale fabric folds, and sheer shadings give a graceful, diffused glow. Any of these lifts a dining room above the everyday, matching the room where you host and celebrate.
Bright light for daytime meals
Daytime meals feel best in soft, natural light. Light filtering shades and sheer shadings keep the room bright and airy while cutting harsh glare, so brunch and lunch feel open and pleasant. Shutters let you tilt for exactly the daylight you want without giving up the view of the yard.
Privacy and mood for evening dinners
When the sun goes down, you want privacy and a warm, intimate feel. Room-darkening shades, closed shutter louvers, or layered drapery give you full evening privacy and a cozy mood for dinner. The ability to shift from bright and open by day to private and intimate by night is what a dining room covering should do.
The layered, designer look
Dining rooms are a natural place to layer, functional shutters or shades for light and privacy, plus drapery panels for softness, color, and a finished, formal feel. Layering adds the sense of occasion that suits a room built for gathering, and it looks polished in photos and in person.
