Why Update Your Window Treatments Before the Holidays?
Your winter window coverings do more than just control light. During the holidays, they:
- Set the mood for Christmas window décor ideas
- Create a cozy, welcoming space for guests
- Provide insulation and energy savings
- Offer privacy when the days are shorter and the nights longer
Let’s unwrap some of the most popular festive window treatment styles that make your home shine during the holiday season.
1. Add Drama & Elegance with Zebra Shades
If you’re looking for a sleek, modern style that gives you both privacy and light control, zebra shades are a top choice. These dual-layered fabrics alternate sheer and solid panels, allowing you to create the perfect ambiance for holiday gatherings—whether you want soft daylight or cozy candlelight.
Pair them with smart motorization to adjust your shades with your phone or voice assistant, even while prepping for guests or basting a turkey.
2. Warm Up Your Space with Natural Woven Shades
There’s nothing like rich textures and natural materials to make a home feel holiday-ready. Our natural woven shades bring in warmth, earth tones, and a handcrafted look that complements everything from rustic farmhouse to coastal chic holiday styles.
Add a light-filtering liner for daytime privacy or a blackout liner for guest room comfort.
3. Go Cozy with Insulating Cellular Shades
Want to keep guests warm and your energy bills low? Our cellular shades provide excellent insulation thanks to their honeycomb structure. They trap air at the window to regulate temperature, making them a smart, stylish choice for Lafayette winters.
Bonus: They come in festive color options like cranberry, forest green, and snowy white!
4. Classic & Timeless? Try Real or Faux Wood Blinds
For a traditional holiday look, you can’t go wrong with wood blinds. They offer rich tones and crisp lines that look stunning with garlands and twinkling lights. Prefer something more practical for kitchens or bathrooms? Try faux wood options that resist moisture while still looking high-end.
Add cordless lift for a clean, child-safe finish.
5. Make a Statement with Decorative Grilles
Want to wow your guests before they even see your tree? Consider Tableaux Decorative Grilles. These stunning accents can be used over windows, niches, and archways to add a custom, artistic element to your holiday home design.
With styles ranging from classic iron to intricate modern motifs, they’re the perfect conversation starter at any holiday party.
Pro Tips for Holiday Window Styling
- Layer Up: Combine shades with soft drapery panels for extra luxury.
- Add Seasonal Greenery: Use garlands across curtain rods or windowsills.
- Play with Light: Use candles, fairy lights, or smart lighting to highlight textures.
- Keep It Cozy: Match your window colors with throws, pillows, and area rugs.
