The Latest in Entryway Window Shades
When you walk in your front door, what does your entryway say? "Welcome, come in?" or a half-hearted “Oh, hi”, or dreadfully even “I don’t really want you here”. The entryway plays a key part in the overall ambiance of your home as it is often the first impression guests have when visiting, which is why styling it smartly can be essential for your home's overall aesthetic.
While some homes may leave their entryway windows uncovered, there are plenty of reasons why upgrading to new entryway window shades might be more beneficial, including the need for privacy. Read on to learn about entryway shades and why this small space in the home should get as much attention design-wise as any other room, especially if you want a genuinely copacetic style throughout your entire home.
3 Reasons to Prioritize Your Entryway Window Shades
Create an excellent first impression
The entryway creates your guest's first impression when they visit your home, make sure it's a good one by creating a welcoming ambiance right in the entryway. Light, especially natural sunlight, can be an ally in creating a welcoming feel, and window treatments are the key to controlling light innovatively and stylishly. Entryway window shades ensure that harsh, unwelcoming glare in direct sun is blocked and the light left to filter in is warm and welcoming.
Connect to the neighborhood
Your entryway isn't just a way into your home; as the main front door, it is the portal that connects your inner home to the greater exterior world. In addition, open views help smaller spaces, like an entryway, feel more spacious and create a visually intriguing focal point in what can be an otherwise under-decorated area.
Provide Privacy
Now, just because you want to look out into the neighborhood doesn't mean you want that neighborhood to be able to look into your house. Entryway window shades protect privacy by blocking or obscuring the view so that while residents enjoy a spacious ambiance, the outside world can be kept safely at bay.
Popular Entryway Window Shades from Hunter Douglas
- Shutters: The trifecta of features that the louvered design of plantation-style shutters afford are ideal in entryways. The proper use of shutters allows homeowners to combine and balance their needs for light control, privacy, and natural airflow. Plus, shutters are highly customizable to entryway glass's different shapes and sizes.
- Sheer Shades: The dichotic use of both opaque and semi-opaque fabrics in modern sheer shades makes them ideal for entryway window shades as the sheer material allows for a view out while obscuring the view in, and the opaque textiles block light and provide privacy for a complete range of control.
- Cellular Shades: Like any other window in the home, entryway windows pose a vulnerability when it comes to energy efficiency because there can be an unwanted exchange of energy through glass panes. Cellular shades add insulation and help to block that unwanted energy exchange to keep interiors more consistently comfortable.
