How to Choose the Right Window Treatments for Your Sunroom
A sunroom is one of the most inviting spaces in any home—but without the right window treatments, it can also be one of the most uncomfortable. From harsh sun glare to unwanted heat and lack of privacy, your dream space can quickly become difficult to use.
The good news? The right blinds, shades, or films can make your sunroom feel cool, private, and perfectly styled.
If you're in Asheboro, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Seagrove, Pittsboro, or anywhere in the Triad area, here’s how to choose the right window coverings for your sunroom.
1. Consider Temperature Control First
Sunrooms are naturally exposed to more sunlight than the rest of your home. In the summer, that can mean intense heat and fading furniture. In the winter, you may want to retain warmth.
Top options for energy control:
Cellular (honeycomb) shades – trap air to insulate against heat and cold
Solar shades – block glare and UV rays while maintaining the view
UV window films – nearly invisible but powerful for reducing solar heat gain
2. Balance Privacy and Natural Light
Sunrooms are made to bring the outdoors in—but that doesn't mean you want to feel exposed.
Top-down, bottom-up shades give you flexible privacy while still letting in light
Layered curtains over blinds or shades provide softness and style
Sheer shades diffuse sunlight while maintaining some visibility
Ask yourself: Do you want a bright reading nook? A cozy evening retreat? The goal helps determine what window treatments are best.
3. Think Style and Function Together
Your sunroom should flow with the rest of your home but still feel special.
For modern homes: Go with clean lines, solar shades, or automated blinds
For farmhouse or rustic styles: Consider natural woven shades or light linen curtains
For classic looks: Roman shades or plantation shutters can bring elegant structure
4. Add Motorization for Comfort and Convenience
Motorized blinds or shades are ideal for sunrooms with tall windows or high ceilings. With the push of a button, you can control the entire room's light and privacy—without leaving your chair.
Bonus: Motorized systems can be programmed to adjust based on time of day or sunlight, making your space smart and efficient.
