What to Put on Small Windows In Phoenix Homes
The big, stately window coverings you see on design shows or in the pages of home magazines are eye-catching, but those aren’t typical for every home. Homeowners in Phoenix are usually more concerned with smaller windows – the kind that oversized, flowing drapes won’t work for.
If you’re worried about your small windows, here are Sunburst’s recommendations for the best Phoenix window treatments.
Plantation Shutters for Small Windows
Shutters Can Fit Smaller Windows No Matter the Size
Plantation shutters are custom-built to your specific windows. That means that whatever size or shape the windows are, shutters will fit – without exception.
Small windows are in every style: casements, transom windows, porthole windows, octagon-shaped windows, etc. Customized shutters fit any and all of them, even the ones that other window coverings can’t.
Shutters Help Make Small Windows Look Bigger
Some homeowners in Phoenix aren’t huge fans of how small their windows are. We get it, but nothing’s forcing you to put up with a window that you don’t love. Interior shutters can add some much-needed size to a small window, sometimes up to multiple inches with the right frame and mount. Obviously, this won’t really affect the size of the window, but it makes the window look bigger than it is.
Shutters Help Manage Light in Small Windows
With smaller windows, light is an all-or-nothing game. Either you’re covering the window, or it’s bare. That’s the deal with most window coverings such as drapes or curtains. But custom shutters let you have a little more flexibility with your lighting, especially with cafe shutters for small windows.
Custom Shades for Small Windows
The key with shades for smaller windows is to look for custom shades. The majority of small windows don’t have a standard size, so most shades you buy off the rack will completely cover a window instead of framing it. So measure your windows precisely and look into custom shades that play to your window and your space’s strengths.
Shades can make small windows look a little “boxier” and draw attention to their small size, so use caution when choosing window treatments for your home.
Combining Window Treatments for Small Windows
What we’ve seen some smart Phoenix homeowners do for small windows is to use more than one kind of window treatment to make them more interesting and bigger. In fact, you can do this on just about any kind of window, big or small. Combine a window treatment that sticks to the frame like shutters, and hang curtains to either side to frame the window.
It helps your space look a little bigger, and lets eyes flow across your room more smoothly.
