How Vertical Window Treatments Transform Your Space
Every element in a room will affect the space. Maybe they make your home more stylish or increase a layout’s energy efficiency. Today, our team at Blinds & Us is looking at how window treatments like vertical panel blinds or sheer shades affect the aesthetics of your home interior and easy ways for homeowners to transform their spaces using vertical window treatments.
The Perspective of Space in Your Home
The use of different visual elements in a room can affect the way we perceive the space. For example, linear elements can change how tall or wide a room feels. Horizontal lines, like those in Venetian blinds, tend to make a room feel wider by drawing the eye from side to side. On the other hand, vertical lines, like those in vertical blinds, can make rooms feel taller as they draw the eye into an up-and-down motion.
This elongating or heightening effect is also seen when homeowners use fabrics with linear patterns be that on panel track blinds, drapery, roller shades, or Roman shades. The longer the lines and bolder their use, the greater impact the pattern will have on our perspective of the space.
Homeowners can also play with perspective in a room through the way they install treatments. Take, for example, drapery. When hung floor-to-ceiling, full drapery makes ceilings seem taller and the room grander. When hung wall-to-wall, they can create the illusion of broad windows and wide rooms. So, with the smart use of linear patterns and strategic installation designs, homeowners can transform the perception of space in their rooms.
The Design Influence of Natural Light
Natural sunlight is a powerful design tool, and with large windows or glass door features, homeowners have an opportunity to harness that light to brighten and transform interior spaces. More sunlight not only brightens spaces, but it makes those spaces feel more open and rooms seem larger. However, though abundant natural sunlight can have wonderful design effects, homeowners need control, too, so that their interiors are not overrun. That’s where vertical window treatments come in.
Vertical window coverings like Luminette® Sheer Panels offer control and protection for homeowners with tall windows, broad windows, or sliding glass doors. The sheer textiles in these vertical blinds filter UV so that even with abundant natural sunlight coming in, the items in your home aren’t exposed to harmful UV rays that can cause discoloration, warping, or other types of sun damage.
Luminette® Sheer Panels are also great at increasing that open feeling in a room because their translucent textiles permit a view out that links the indoors with the outdoors. With the sophistication of modern sheers, homeowners don’t have to sacrifice their privacy to create this more spacious feel, as sheer textiles will obscure the view.
Creating Individualized Style with Vertical Panel Blinds
When you have large, vertical window treatments hung in a room, their style will undoubtedly affect the aesthetics of the room as their prominent location and association with natural sunlight will draw the eye. Knowing this, Hunter Douglas crafted Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds, a stunning model of vertical panel blinds with show-stopping style to elevate home decor and the latest design advancements for optimal performance.
With Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds homeowners have over 450 fabric color options to choose from. This makes these vertical blind panels incredibly easy to customize to suit the personal tastes of different homeowners. The treatment can come in two different panel sizes, 11 ½" or 17", to further customize the look of Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds.
The technology behind these Hunter Douglas blinds can also help you transform your room into a more efficient and comfortable space. The track system can serve as a room divider to separate your interior space if needed. With the option of PowerView® Automation, window shades like Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds can operate with an automated scheduling component and easy-to-use interfaces, including a handheld remote and online app.
