Try These Dining Room Design Ideas for Your Windows
Your window treatments are the finishing touch to any interior design. They carry color, texture, and pattern throughout a space, and cap off a room—making a big impact in any space. Using the right window treatments for your dining room windows can help to create a formal or casual look. The right material selection and operating system can make all the difference in how you use and experience your space.
At The Blind Butler in Vacaville, California, we carry window treatments from top brands, including Norman, Graber, and Hunter Douglas. We’ll work with you to bring your dining room design ideas to life, whether you want custom Roman shades, stylish café shutters, custom blinds, or luxurious drapery.
Consider these dining room design ideas to get started.
Create a Sophisticated Space with Custom Roman Shades
If you enjoy the look of paneled walls and stiff linen napkins, you might have a more formal style. Typically, these spaces are reserved for special occasions or guests, but you can make a more traditional look cozy for all any time of the year. You can contribute to this look when you select window treatments with architectural elements that draw the eye across a space like café shutters or custom Roman shades.
- Roman shades are made with folds of fabric that are either lie flat or in pleasing pleats that lay or stack. This luxe tailored style is eye-catching and creates a sophisticated air.
Versatile Cafe Shutters
Known for covering the bottom half of a window, café shutters offer your dining room with both illumination and convenient openness or privacy—plus, they look great in relaxed or formal spaces when paired with curtains or drapes.
Custom shutters can be made from wood, vinyl, or wood composite materials. Each one of these materials has a different aesthetic.
- For example, wood shutters have a sophisticated, traditional appearance that can look very formal. You can also select paint and stains that complement the other colors in the room.
- On the other hand, vinyl shutters come in three neutral tones that fit as nicely in a formal space as well as they do in a relaxed beachy design or a luxe modern farmhouse aesthetic. Plus, they’re durable and stand up to the elements with their easy-to-clean finish.
Blinds and Shades That Keep it Casual
If you regularly use the dining room as a family hangout, a place to work, craft, or help the kids with homework, or if you prefer a more casual look, consider the benefits of a more casual look.
Roller shades come in a variety of fabrics and opacities. Easy to control with a subtle design, you can choose a pattern or color perfect for your relaxed space, making the room cheerful and casual.
Another option for the casual look is wood blinds. They’re not overly fussy, but they provide excellent light control, and they can make the room look elegant while still keeping it low-key and inviting enough for everyday use.
Let in the Light with Flowy Sheers
If you love natural light and enjoy seeing through your windows, you might consider sheer shades. These filter sunlight so the UV rays don’t destroy your belongings with warping or discoloration, and they reduce glare, so you can still enjoy the dining experience. Many sheers also incorporate opaque vanes or an opaque fabric liner to keep things private as night falls. However, they still let in plenty of light when you want to enjoy the view.
Consider Adding Drapery
Though we have written about how you don’t always need custom curtains to tie your room together, whether you prefer a formal look, want lots of natural light, or want to keep it casual, drapery can enhance the aesthetic of any space, including your dining room.
When paired with other window coverings, the layers of drapery work together to build a complex window treatment with a warm and luxurious touch. Customize your fabrics to add color and texture to your interior design. This creates depth and dimension, which gives your dining room a more complete appearance. Drapery frames the windows, which makes the room appear elegant but still fits both a casual and a formal style. Just slide them open or closed to vary your amount of ambient light.
