Best Window Coverings for Large Windows
Oversized windows are a defining feature of a room, whether a home has a dramatic wall of glass in a great room or a wide sliding door leading to the patio. The best window coverings for large windows match that scale in both size and style, because generic blinds, shades, and shutters often fall short on wide, tall openings. We help homeowners find the right fit by weighing light control, privacy, and ease of operation for each window.
Our team at Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center can help you overcome the challenges that come with large window coverings, including significant width and height, heavy materials, and out-of-reach headrails. We carry Hunter Douglas window treatments for wide windows, so you can compare practical options across a range of styles.
Why Store-Bought Treatments Fall Short on Large Windows
Oversized windows often exceed the dimensions that standard treatments can accommodate. Fabric may sag in the middle of a wide span, and slats can bow over a long run. Splitting the window into several narrow units breaks up the very view the glass provides, defeating the purpose of installing a large window.
Custom window coverings, such as Hunter Douglas Aria™ Soft Blinds and Custom Vertical Blinds, keep the lines clean and the operation smooth. Our installation team includes professionals with 20 or more years of experience, ensuring each treatment looks and works as intended.
Aria™ Soft Blinds for Softer Light on Large Windows
Hunter Douglas Aria™ Soft Blinds use lightweight, translucent fabric vanes in place of rigid slats, and the fabric turns direct sunlight into a gentle, even glow. The blinds fit extra-large windows, which makes them a practical pick among window blinds for big windows, where glare and harsh afternoon sun can overwhelm a room. Tilted open, the vanes also keep the view outdoors clear without lifting the blind.
These soft blinds are available in 14 textured fabric and neutral color options, and the optional light-dimming feature offers two opacities in one: tilt the vanes down for soft dimming or shift them up to darken the room.
Three control options are available. LiteRise® lets you push the blind up or pull it down by hand, and an EasyTilt bar tilts the vanes with a push or pull, no twisting required. The bar matches the fabric color, comes in four lengths, and can be mounted on either the left or right side. PowerView® Automation adds app, remote, or smart-home system control.
Custom Vertical Blinds for Large Windows and Sliding Doors
Hunter Douglas Custom Vertical Blinds suit bay windows, sliding-glass doors, and wide expanses of glass, where a single horizontal blind can be too wide or too heavy to lift. The headrail is designed to minimize light gaps, and the vanes stack left, right, center, or split, keeping the view open when you head outside. The vanes come in fabric or vinyl, with more than 160 colors available.
How Motorization Makes Window Coverings for Large Windows Easier to Manage
Window coverings for large windows can be tall, wide, and heavy, and in a two-story room, the controls may be out of arm’s reach. With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, you can raise and lower shades with a remote or a tap on a mobile device. A PowerView® Gateway adds voice control via compatible assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
In the app, you can check each shade’s current position and schedule shades to move automatically throughout the day. PowerView® Automation is available on many shade styles and provides tilt control on blinds. Our design team can confirm which of your window coverings are compatible with it.
