5 Dining Room Curtain Ideas near Encinitas, CA
There’s nothing more truly magical than getting to spend quality time around the dining room table with your family and friends. At North County Blinds, we understand that our kitchens and dining rooms are often a focal point of a home, where we gather to share meals and create memories. However, dining rooms also need to be practical and comfortable, especially when it comes to controlling light and privacy.
Hunter Douglas custom window treatments provide both style and function for your dining room. Here are five dining room curtain ideas that will wow your family members and guests with sophistication, elegance, and functionality.
Take note that these dining room curtain ideas are in no particular order - we think each and every one of them would work fantastically as your dining room’s centerpiece or paired together for a lovely layered look!
1. Custom Drapery
It’s hard to go wrong when choosing to have custom drapes made by Hunter Douglas and installed by the experts at North County Blinds. If you’re at a loss for what look might work the best in your dining room, opting for our Design Studio™ Custom Drapes is an easy way to incorporate your desired design elements and choose from top-performing fabrics that will maintain your internal temperature and protect your privacy. You’ll choose from over 250 color/design choices for your fabric and have the option of luxury fabrics designs made by featured artists like Marcie Bronkar, Rebecca Atwood, and Seema Krish - each known for their gorgeous prints and embroideries.
Custom drapery is also an excellent choice to layer with existing dining room window treatments you may have for added shade, privacy, or both, if your dining room window looks out to a busy street or gets intense afternoon sun. Plus, Design Studio® Custom Side Panels and Drapes are a fantastic layering option with the other shades and blinds on this list. Create a lovely layered look with variable privacy and light control with multiple shading solutions.
2. Woven Wood Shades
For our next item on our list, Hunter Douglas woven shades are an easy choice. They provide a unique look inspired by nature and can add a gorgeous natural touch to any space. We love the way they work in homes with wooden dining room tables - from rustic and boho styles to classic and formal interiors, we think these shades have the ability to bring the whole look together.
Of all the woven shade options we carry, we highly recommend you check out our Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. Whether the rest of your home is inspired by contemporary, farmhouse modern, mid-century modern, industrial, or any number of other design styles, these woven wood shades are exceptional in aesthetics and create a multi-functional centerpiece for your dining room. These woven wood shades are also exceptionally versatile, since you can choose from three style choices: Roman, Waterfall Roman, and Vertical Drapery. With room-darkening or light diffusing opacities, you’re sure to find a weave and fabrication you love in these natural shades.
3. Sheer Shades
For our next dining room curtain idea, we present sheer shades. They’re an unsung hero in our catalogue of offerings, and they would be a fantastic addition to your dining room. Sheer shades are by far our favorite way to accentuate your natural light and create a beautiful ambiance for your family to enjoy during mealtime.
If you’re getting home for the day from an office full of artificial, fluorescent lighting, or enjoying a relaxing weekend together our Silhouette® Sheer Shades are the perfect solution to lift your spirits and flood your room with gorgeous light. There are over 150 color/fabric choices to choose from, and the adjustable S-shaped vanes can be adjusted to provide the perfect combination of light and privacy during your family’s mealtimes.
4. Vertical Shades
Vertical shades are one of our favorite dining room window treatment ideas. They offer versatile benefits for dining rooms and allow you plenty of flexibility to best choose how much light or privacy you desire during your family meals or get-togethers with friends.
Of all the Hunter Douglas vertical shades options we carry, Luminette® Sheer Panels are a fantastic choice for the dining room. They make a perfect hybrid of vertical shades, sheers, and drapery, and they do a top-notch job of providing the best of both worlds: privacy and amplified light. With over 80 fabric/color choices, you’ll find it tough not to find a great option that flows with your other decor. Oh, and did we mention they provide ample UV protection for your interior? You’ll fall in love with the soft glow these curtains make, and you’ll love being able to adjust your level of privacy. These are a wonderful, versatile choice for folks that have large windows in their dining room.
5. Cellular Shades
Another fabulous option for your dining room are our selection of Hunter Douglas cellular shades. Known for their honeycomb-shaped cells that trap air at the window to provide unheard-of energy efficiency, these cellular blinds create a gorgeous, modern aesthetic that will really bring the wow factor to your dining room (or any room in your home!).
Of all the cellular shading options we carry, Duette® Cellular Shades are our top dining room curtain choice. In this line of shadings, Hunter Douglas offers over 150 fabric/color choices, and each and every choice does a magnificent job of diffusing harsh light to create a warm and welcoming glow.
You’ll appreciate their insulating power when summer is at its peak and enjoy how they keep the inside temperature in when the sun’s warming heat is harder to come by in the winter. The honeycomb-shaped cells are what makes these curtains so unique, and they’re what make them so energy efficient. You’ll love the sound-absorbing properties of these blinds when you’re trying to enjoy an evening conversation during your family dinners, too.
