Covering Half A Window with Shutters and Shades
Windows are portals into and out of your home—they showcase your view and add generous light to your space. While it’s nice to have the entire window open to the scenery, covering just half of your window can provide both all-important privacy as well as a new lighting scenario.
Today, our team at Innuwindow presents viable options for covering half a window with café shutters, café curtains, and Top-Down Bottom-Up shades.
Café Shutters for Half-Window Coverage
Custom shutters are an excellent option for covering half a window. We offer our custom shutters in café shutter styles that enclose the lower half. If you want light at the bottom, you can adjust the slats by hand, with a tilt rod, or with automation.
Innuwindow is proud to carry wood, composite, and vinyl shutters from leading brands, all suited for different rooms in your home.
- Wood shutters are perfect for living, dining, and family rooms where moisture is not an issue.
- Composite shutters are a durable option perfect for high-traffic areas, including kitchens and bathrooms.
- Vinyl shutters are best for kitchens and bathrooms where humidity and water are common concerns—but they work great anywhere else in your home.
Tips for Café Curtains
Café curtains are known for their charm and they transform a window with unique style. While they are typically used in the kitchen, cafe curtains have found popularity in other areas of the home, like powder rooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and playrooms. Café curtains are hung on the bottom half of your window, allowing for privacy and the abundant light at the top.
When you select fabric for café curtains, a lightweight material works best. Linen-cotton blends or sheers will hang nicely for a smooth, light-filtering look. Heavy fabrics such as velvet or corduroy may look too unbalanced and feel heavy.
Top-Down Bottom-Up Window Treatments for Half-Windows
Top-down Bottom-Up window treatments are an innovative design choice that offers various lighting scenarios. Pull the covering from the top down if you want light at the top of your window. To enjoy light at the bottom of your window, raise the covering up. Cellular shades and roller shades are a popular window treatment style that provide a Top-Down Bottom-Up feature.
