Fabulous Foyer Window Treatments for California Homes
Your foyer sets the tone for your entire home, but what kind of first impression does it set? If your entryway window treatments are outdated (or non-existent), the experts at Window Fashions of Northern California want to help. The goals aren’t complicated: add design interest, create a welcoming feel, and protect the space from excessive light and prying eyes.
Essential Foyer Window Treatment Options
A foyer might have elegant sidelights flanking the entrance door, overhead skylights flooding natural light downward, and traditional framed windows offering exterior views. Starting with that last category, we often recommend insulating window treatments and light-filtering materials. Keep this in mind: Foyers shouldn’t feel too hot or cold, and too much darkness isn’t practical or welcoming.
- Cellular shades are an excellent choice for traditional and specialty-shaped foyer windows, especially ones facing direct sunlight. The honeycomb construction forms an air-trapping barrier for added insulation; choose fabrics that turn the light into a radiant glow.
- Solar roller shades work well when you need to block intense Cali UV rays. These fabrics offer different weave densities, so you can still preserve outdoor views. They create a sleek, uncluttered profile that suits casual and modern entryways.
- Roman shades bring softness and texture to formal foyers; the fabric choices range from natural linens to rich silks to tweeds. The tailored folds create visual interest and don’t overwhelm smaller foyers.
Sidelight Window Treatments Solutions
Sidelight window treatments have narrow proportions and live next to entryway doors. Cellular shades also work well here, offering privacy without completely blocking natural light. We customize them in vertical orientations that don’t interfere with door operation.
Sheer panels also work on sidelights. With 180-degree rotating fabric vanes integrated into airy fabrics, these sheers will enhance your foyer’s beauty. These sophisticated foyer window treatments suit anywhere that you want a soft, diffused light effect.
Foyer Skylight Window Treatments
Though foyer skylights are stunning, these homeowners often struggle to control the brightness, glare, and temperature fluctuations. We recommend Duette® Cellular Shades for skylights; these entryway window treatments operate seamlessly with the right systems.
- The Duette® Vertiglide™ operating system pairs nicely with honeycomb vertical shades. There are two styles: one shade covers the entire window, or the split stack Vertiglide shade, where each side operates independently.
- Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades have a unique honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design for extra insulation that’s perfect for skylights.
- The Simplicity™ skylight manual operating system can stack in any direction.
- PowerView® Automation is a game-changer for hard-to-reach skylights. You control your skylight window treatment shades with a remote, an app, or voice commands through a smart home system. The system lets you open, close, and adjust your window treatments on the spot or program them in advance.
