How to Decorate Rooms with Small Windows

In many modern homes, there are a variety of window shapes. From elegant sliding glass doors to unique circular windows, homeowners of today have a unique challenge of dressing windows both large and small. If you are in the latter half of your design journey, then you are in the right place. From bathrooms to cozy home offices, small windows can be transformed into stylish focal points with the right décor and window treatments. Here are some of our favorite tips to make the most out of rooms with small windows:

Tip 1: Keep Practicality in Mind

As with any window, a small window should be adorned according to the room it’s in. For example, if you want to dress small windows in a humid laundry room, above a kitchen sink, or in a guest bathroom, you will want a window treatment that can be custom-cut to fit the small space and withstand the elements.

This is where Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters come into play. Featuring a durable Polysatin™ compound, the slats of these shades will never warp, bow, fade, or crack. Plus, since these shutters are capable of being custom cut, they can be tailored to fit a variety of small windows. Available in three neutral colors, these shutters help open up small spaces by not overwhelming a space with dark colors.

Tip 2: Consider Clean Lines

Speaking of not overwhelming a space, window treatments with clean lines allow you to cover a window beautifully without swallowing the pane. This is especially helpful when it comes to small windows in dens, living rooms, or bedrooms where décor is plenty. A subtle, chic window treatment like Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades fit snugly within small windows without overpowering them. We recommend selecting light, airy colors like Marshmallow (YORK-102), Warm Natural (ABI-201), or Porcelain (ARG-101).

Tip 3: Add Warmth for Visual Intrigue

All windows, no matter how small, allow room for visual depth and intrigue. That is, leaving a small window unadorned simply because of its size is a missed opportunity to draw the eye! For warmth and depth at smaller windows, we suggest Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds. Made from genuine wood, these blinds set a relaxing, inviting tone that is perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, reading nooks, and guest bedrooms. Plus, their customizable slat sizes allow them to perfectly fit petite window frames with ease.
