Window Coverings for Picture Windows

A picture window brings in light and a view, but can also invite unwanted glare and evening sightlines. We help you find the right balance so you can enjoy the frame when the view matters.

Project details

Inside mounting or an outer layer.

The choice between mounting inside your frame or outside on the wall changes the look of the room.

The seamless look of inside mounts

An inside mount keeps your window treatment tucked neatly within the frame. It highlights the architecture of the window and provides a clean, minimalist silhouette.

Outer layers for full coverage

Roller and cellular shades provide a clean, modern edge that disappears when raised. They offer excellent light control and privacy in a simple, easy-to-use construction.

Layering for complete control

Combine the light-filtering benefits of a shade with the softness of drapery. This approach gives you total flexibility, from a bright open view to a fully private retreat.

Frequently asked

Which covering keeps the best daytime view?

A solar shade is excellent for softening light while keeping your connection to the outdoors. We can help you compare openness levels to find what works best for your room.

Does a picture window need blackout fabric?

Only if you need total light control, like in a media room or bedroom. For most living spaces, filtering fabrics provide the perfect balance of light and privacy.

Can solar fabric provide evening privacy?

It is best used for daytime light control. Since interior lights can show through at night, we recommend adding an opaque layer if you need evening privacy.

Can drapery stack completely away from the view?

Yes, we can plan your track and fabric stack to ensure the window remains as open as possible when you want to see the view.

Is an inside mount always better for a picture window?

An inside mount offers a clean, architectural look, but an outside mount is great for covering frames or adding softness. We will help you choose based on your specific window.

Can one shade cover a wide picture window?

Many models are available in wider widths, but we will check the specifics of your choice to ensure smooth, reliable operation for your large window.

Will a shade solve drafts or condensation?

While a high-quality shade adds a layer of comfort, it is not a repair for window seals. We recommend checking your windows first if you have ongoing comfort issues.

What helps you plan a picture-window covering?

Bring a few photos of your room, the approximate width, and notes on how you use the space. This helps us suggest the perfect fit and fabric for your home.

How To Prepare

Virtual | In-store

To make the most of your consultation, it helps to have a general sense of your window or door width, ceiling height and how you would like the covering to operate. Photos of the space are helpful but not required. If you are early in the process, that is fine. We will guide you through it.
