Window Treatment Ideas for East, North, & West Facing Windows
Did you know that the direction your windows face determines the amount of sunlight and heat they receive? Whether you have east, north, or west-facing windows, selecting the right window treatments to align with that light makes a difference. The Nest Expressions design team knows exactly how this works and will help you make the most of your window treatments, no matter which direction they face.
Window Treatments for West Facing Windows
West facing windows are notorious for receiving intense afternoon sunlight, which can cause overheating and fading of furniture and fabrics. We suggest installing Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades or sheers to combat that. These Hunter Douglas window coverings look lovely and allow natural light to filter through. Both choices will diffuse the sun’s rays and reduce glare without completely blocking the view, allowing you to enjoy the views outside while eliminating annoying glare.
You can also think about light-colored curtains or blinds because they will reflect heat away from the room, keeping it cooler during the warmer months. Another idea is to layer your window treatments. We like sheers to tame the harsh sunlight, with custom draperies or blinds for privacy and insulation at night. This layered approach provides excellent light control, depth, and texture to your windows.
Window Treatments for North Facing Windows
North facing windows tend to get soft, indirect sunlight throughout the day, making them ideal for rooms where you want to maintain a consistent brightness level without the harsh glare. When covering north facing windows, look for light, airy window treatments that allow plenty of natural light to enter while still providing privacy.
Our design team recommends Hunter Douglas Roman shades in a neutral or pastel color palette for your north facing windows. These elegant Hunter Douglas shades near Wexford, PA, are timeless, and you can customize these shades with different fabrics and textures to complement your decor.
Window Treatments for North West Facing Windows
North west facing windows receive soft, indirect sunlight in the morning and stronger, direct sunlight in the afternoon. This lighting challenge calls for window treatments that balance light control and aesthetics. One effective solution is to install adjustable blinds or shutters that allow you to easily regulate the amount of sunlight entering the room throughout the day.
Window Treatments for Your East Facing Window
East facing windows get bathed in soft morning sunlight, making them perfect for rooms where you want to start your day with a bright, energizing atmosphere. Later in the day, excessive sunlight can lead to glare and UV damage to your furniture and flooring. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are an excellent solution because they help regulate room temperature and are available in various fabrics and opacities that help block the sun’s damaging rays.
Sonnette® Roller Shades are another fine option for east facing windows, with a clever design made from cellular and roller shades. They’re also energy efficient, offer UV protection, and are easy to control, which makes them a great choice for covering the east facing windows of your home.
