The Best Window Treatments for Large Windows

Curtains and drapes aren’t just functional—they also add style, color, and softness to your space. While dressing small windows is straightforward, large windows can feel more challenging. The good news is, you have plenty of beautiful and practical options. With the right fabric and design, curtains can reduce glare, enhance privacy, highlight your windows as a focal point, and even alter the room's ambiance. Heavier materials work especially well for wide windows, offering better durability and light control.

 

Extra Long Custom Curtains

Some windows are wider than others, some are longer than others, some are slanted, while others are angled. Sometimes they're in an awkward spot - under a staircase or tucked into a corner - and sometimes they're just plain big. That's when curtains for big windows come in handy. TheHues offers both standard and custom options for all our designs. We want to make sure your windows look perfect.

Layering Window Treatments

Layering window treatments is a way to add dimension and interest to your windows, while still allowing natural light to shine through. It can be as simple as adding a valance on top of your drapes, or you can get really creative with a combination of blinds, shades, and drapes. Layering large window curtains allows you to use multiple styles of treatments while creating a cohesive unit.

Large Window Shades

If you’ve ever tried finding the right shade for a large window, you know it’s not always easy. You might find the perfect style—until you realize it doesn’t fit. Don’t worry—we’re here to help you get the shade that works. Start by measuring from the top of the window to where you want the shade to fall, whether you’re covering the full window or just part of it. Once you’ve got the right measurements, it’s time to explore the best shade options for large windows.

 

Roman Shades

Roman shades are ideal for large windows, offering a clean look and adjustable light control. Pull them down fully for privacy or leave them partially open to let in soft, natural light.

 

Roller Shades

Roller shades are simple, durable, and available in blackout or light-filtering options. They can be custom-fitted to wide windows and are great for managing glare while maintaining a sleek appearance.


Sheer Shades

Sheer shades offer a soft, layered look—closed, they resemble blinds; opened, they act like lightweight curtains. They diffuse light beautifully while still offering some privacy.


Cellular Shades/Honeycomb Shades

Cellular shades insulate your space by trapping air in their honeycomb structure, keeping rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Available in a range of colors and opacities, they’re perfect for energy efficiency and style.

 

Vertical blinds

Vertical blinds are easy to adjust and ideal for wide windows, especially those facing east or west. Stick to simple, neutral styles for a clean, modern look that complements your space without feeling outdated.


Multiples-on-One Headrail

For large windows, order multiple blinds on a single headrail. This creates a seamless look and ensures all slats move together smoothly—no awkward gaps or uneven panels.


Treat Multiple Windows as One

Unify grouped windows by placing drapes only on the outer edges. Choose coordinating fabrics—like a patterned panel paired with a solid—to frame the view without cluttering it.
