Window Coverings for a Home Office
At Bretz Interiors serving the greater Denver area, we know that shopping for window coverings can be overwhelming. With all the potential needs and functions, the options available can seem tough to sift through. That can be especially true for a home office, which offers its own challenges. If you’re looking to treat windows in your home office, read on for some of our suggestions!
How to Start
If you’re one of the millions of Americans who work from home, you might be looking to make your office space better through increased light or noise control or even just aesthetics. You certainly want to walk into your workspace feeling comfortable, motivated, and ready to focus. To get your space to the best level it can be, first determine which of the following you would most like to achieve:
- Glare reduction
- Insulation
- Minimized distraction
- Increased convenience
Reduce Glare
If you work at a computer or have frequent online meetings, you might want to cut down on the glare in your office space, particularly so you’re not constantly squinting throughout your workday. Roller shades are a great solution to reducing glare and eye strain. Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas offer clean lines and a classic look that make them great for nearly any aesthetic. Plus, you can choose the Duolite® option, which gives you a light-filtering sheer combined with a room-darkening liner so you can enjoy natural light when you want to and block the glare when you need to.
Insulate the Window
When you’re working, the last thing you want is to be uncomfortable because your hands are cold in the winter or you’re feeling too hot in the summer. That’s where insulating window treatments can help. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are one of the most energy-efficient products we offer—with their honeycomb design, they trap air at the window, keeping outside air out and inside air in. Plus, you can choose from numerous fabrics and pleat sizes for just the right look for your home office.
Reduce Distraction
While having a view outside can be nice, it can also be distracting while you’re trying to get work done. One way to cut back on being drawn to look is with a window treatment in sheer fabric. Silhouette® Window Shadings are made with two layers of sheer fabric with an S-shaped vane between. All you have to do is tilt the vanes to obscure your view, and you can still enjoy beautifully filtered light through the sheers. Or for a larger expanse of glass, consider Luminette® Sheer Panels, which are designed with rotating fabric vanes that give you 180 degrees of light control.
Add Convenience
Perhaps your desk is in front of the window, making it difficult to reach the treatment’s controls. Or maybe you find that you’re called into a meeting and don’t have time to adjust the treatment manually. With PowerView® Automation, you can control your window fashion remotely, using the Pebble Remote or an app on your phone—or you can even tie the system to your whole-home automation system, and control your window treatments by voice. No matter your approach, there’s no question that automation can bring convenience to your at-home workspace.
