Refresh Your Dining Room Window Treatments This Winter

Winter is one of the best times of year to add warmth and coziness to your dining room. Homeowners spend a great deal of time there eating, drinking, and socializing – so why not do a little refresh? Our Nest Expressions showroom has an incredible selection of Hunter Douglas window coverings and custom draperies, and we promise to share the best dining room window treatment ideas imaginable.

Think About Seasonal Colors and Patterns

Winter-inspired colors and patterns can create a welcoming seasonal vibe for your family and guests. You can incorporate forest and mossy greens, reds, earth tones, blues, and whites. Try plaids and florals for year-round visual interest; some clients prefer winter patterns like snowflakes. The latter can make your dining room feel more festive, and you can switch those out once the season changes.

Layer Dining Room Window Treatments

Layered window treatments for dining rooms are polished and inviting, creating a sophisticated winter atmosphere. We like pairing mid-weight and heavy curtains with sheer shades, cellular shades, and semi-sheer panels. They can filter the light through for holiday brunches with a room-darkening option for other times.

Consider Insulated Roman Shades

Versatile Roman shades are customizable for any style, from casual to formal. Make them winter-ready with insulated lining that provides added temperature control, light blocking, and privacy. Here are three options from Hunter Douglas:

  • Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades feature exclusive, globally sourced fabrics in different opacities.  
  • Vignette® Roman Shades are elegantly tailored, modern Roman shades available in flat or full folds.
  • Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are crafted from artistically woven wood.

Upgrade Your Curtains

Lightweight summer curtains are fine for certain times of the year, but swapping them out for heavier materials like velvet or wool adds a luxurious touch and more insulation. Our designers have been creating custom drapery for more than 50 years, with exquisite fabrics and thousands of samples to look through. We like to work with deep colors like navy blue, forest green, and burgundy for winter, but the choice is up to you.

Add a Little Pizazz to Your Dining Room Window Treatments

Make window treatments for dining rooms even more festive with added personal touches. Hang a garland made from seasonal greenery along the top valance or curtain rods. Then, decorate it with a few things that go on Christmas trees – small ornaments, handmade snowflakes, and bows are a few suggestions. Or, replace curtain tiebacks with sparkly, smaller garlands or pieces of faux fur for an even more unique look.
