How to Pick Window Treatments for Skylights

Skylights are a stunning addition to any home, bathing rooms in natural light and offering a glimpse of the sky. However, managing the light and maintaining privacy can be challenging without the right window treatments. At Rainey's Decorating Center, we specialize in Hunter Douglas skylight window treatments that provide style and functionality. Additionally, many homeowners find that motorization for skylight window treatments is an indispensable feature for hard-to-reach installations, making adjustment hassle-free.

Choosing the Right Treatments for Your Skylight

Consider the Material

  • Fabrics: Light-filtering options can soften the incoming light and reduce glare while maintaining a bright and airy feel.
  • Metals and Plastics: These materials might be more suitable for climates with high sun exposure, offering durability and better light control.

Think About Functionality

  • Light Control: Certain materials and styles can block out light entirely or filter it to prevent glare, which is ideal for skylights in bedrooms or entertainment areas.
  • Energy Efficiency: Some treatments have insulating properties that help regulate indoor temperatures by keeping heat out during summer and retaining warmth in winter.

Style and Aesthetics

  • Coordinate with the interior design of your space. Hunter Douglas offers a variety of colors and materials that can complement any decor.

Ease of Use

  • Motorization: Motorized window treatments by Hunter Douglas allow you to open or close shades with a button, a perfect solution for skylights positioned out of reach.
