3 Ways to Make the Most Out of Hard to Reach Windows…

 

#1 Find the Right Window Coverings

Have you been keeping your windows bare because they’re hard to reach? It might seem like the only solution. Let’s face it–who wants to deal with adjusting out of reach shades or blinds on a regular basis? You probably have enjoyed letting the light enter, as the character of the windows sets a design tone in the room. But bare windows cause issues that you’ll probably get tired of dealing with over time. The best solution would be to find the right coverings for your windows. One great benefit to having high windows, like in a foyer or entryway, is the incredible incoming light. But, do you know that too much light can be damaging? The UV rays are harmful to your furniture and décor, causing fading. In the case of enjoying the incoming light, by choosing window coverings that filter the light, as well as offer UV protection, you get all the benefits without the issues. You can choose translucent fabrics or shades with a sheer backing, like these Pirouette window shadings. Fabric vanes adjust and stay in position to fit your desired level of privacy and light. The sheer backing protects against the harsh sun, leaving your room with a soft glow. The right window coverings will transform your room. 

#2 Reconsider Your Layout

Are you dealing with a difficult layout? Do your windows seem to be inconveniently placed?  Perhaps you have floor to ceiling windows, which means you have no choice other than to place your furniture in front of the window. Take time to consider moving your furniture around so that you have access to your windows. Create a layout, where your furniture can float and that focuses on the center of the room, like the one pictured here. Setting up a ‘conversation scene’ gives you access all the way around your furniture, while making the open floor plan seem cozy and inviting. Working around your hard to reach windows will give you better control of their functioning, with regard to daily adjustment for issues like light control and privacy. A few slight changes can make a  dramatic difference. 


#3 Add Motorization

A simple (and very convenient) solution to managing your hard to reach windows would be to add motorization. Motorized blinds take away the need for you to manually adjust your blinds. If you want your hard to reach windows to be open for the majority of the day, but closed when the sun is shining through in the afternoon, you can create a schedule that will make your window treatments automatically adjust. Maybe your home is set up similarly to this picture; you might want to keep some windows covered and others open. No problem! Motorization allows you to schedule the adjustment of your hard to reach windows, which means you can get the most use out of them.

Embrace Your Windows! 

There’s no need to be frustrated or discouraged by hard to reach windows. They often add character and beauty to a home, which is why they should be embraced! Finding the right window coverings will add style, convenience, and a new love for your windows. Are you ready to transform your hard to reach windows?
