If you’re anything like me, you have no idea how to choose a window treatment. I want lots of light here and not so much light there, but this window is east-facing and that one is north-facing, and when I’m at my computer sometimes this window makes my screen too “glarey,” but I can only sleep if my bedroom is pitch-black … you get the idea.

Enter Window Accents. With more than 30 high-end window treatments from which to choose, their knowledgeable staff can help you find the perfect solution for your window woes. VP of sales Shaun Lyon let us in on six popular treatments that can even be motorized or integrated into your smart home devices for even less light work. 

Pirouette
The Pirouette is the ultimate window treatment for those seeking versatility. The floating, three-dimensional vanes allow you to customize the light filtering of any space, or completely roll the shade up for full view-through.

Silhouette with Duolite
This treatment features soft fabric vanes that are strung between sheer panels to give a softer look to a traditional slatted blind. It even comes with a second blackout roller behind it to allow for complete room darkening when you need it most. 

Vignette
The Vignette shade is a modern take on the classic Roman shade. The main difference between the two is that this shade will roll at the top instead of stacking on top of itself—which results in a treatment that allows for the classic look of a Roman shade, but when put up, won’t take up a large portion of your window’s viewing space.

Duette
This treatment is a honeycomb-style shade that offers terrific energy efficiency and comes in a huge assortment of fabrics and a variety of operating styles. This particular Duette option comes with a top-down/bottom-up operation that is extremely popular for bathroom windows.

Skyline Gliding Panel
Perfect for very large windows or sliding or patio glass doors, this type of blind is more visually appealing than your typical vertical blind treatment—gliding easily to open and close on a carrier track. 

Provenance Woven Woods
For a more traditional or modern look, the Provenance Woven Woods shade lets you bring organic, earthy tones and textures inside while still controlling the amount of light—with the option of an additional liner for more window light control.
