The dining room is where friends and family gather for holiday dinners, celebrations, and everyday meals. The right window treatments can elevate this space, creating comfort while offering lighting and seasonal style. Whether you love soft draperies, woven textures, or elegant shades, we’ll help you find the right dining room window treatments to design the perfect space all year long.
Why Dining Room Window Treatments Matter
The dining room atmosphere is an important component in entertaining–and even with day-to-day life. Natural light creates ambiance, but can cause glare during meals. A view of the landscape can set a beautiful backdrop, but flooding light can cause exhausting temperatures by mid-afternoon. We strive to find the right balance for you and your family, so you enjoy your home, but are comfortable and protected from the elements.
This dining room could easily chase your guests away. The natural light floods in at certain hours, and offers frustrating glare throughout much of the day. The temperature rises over the course of the day, with no relief. The simple solution of Silhouette shades instantly softened the light, cutting the glare. Because the direct light isn’t flooding the space, the temperature hasn’t spiked. The sheer fabrics enhance the view–framed as the perfect backdrop. Sheers offer daytime privacy, reflecting outward during sunny days. In the evening, the vanes can tilt and close for increased privacy.
Our Favorite Window Treatments for Dining Rooms
What are the top dining room window treatments for Denver area homes? We’re glad you asked!
Draperies
Drapery panels add softness and style elements at the window. They can personalize the space with colors, textures and patterns. But, they aren’t *just* pretty. Draperies offer light control, privacy and can even insulate the windows with the right fabrics and liners. Layering draperies with other window coverings, such as shades, blinds and shutters adds dimension and valuable control.
Roman Shades
Soft and elegant, roman shades invite timeless style and important characteristics of privacy and light control.
Sheer Shades
We already saw what Silhouette shades can do. Many sheer shades offer the same benefits of increased light control with dynamic views, levels of privacy and versatile positioning so you always have the right atmosphere.
Woven Wood Shades
Full of warmth and texture, the color schemes and intricate weave patterns of woven wood shades bring beauty and charm to the window. Capable of soft, filtered light, woven woods can be customized with liners to increase light control and privacy.
Plantation Shutters
Ideal for a range of decorating styles, custom shutters instantly add elegance to the dining room. They offer timeless style, easy maintenance and incredible light control and privacy adjustments.

How to Choose the Right Dining Room Window Treatments
When it comes to choosing your own dining room window treatments, there are four main aspects to keep in mind.
- Lighting Needs: Natural light should be controlled to reduce glare and harsh UV rays and prevent increased temperatures. Choose fabrics that fit your needs, from sheer and light-filtering to room-darkening and blackout options.
- Privacy Concerns: You know your home best, and oftentimes the privacy needs of the home are dependent on the layout. Street-facing windows and those rooms within view of the neighbors will need more control.
- Design Preferences: From modern to traditional, and from casual to formal, it’s important to decide the look that you love. Dining room window treatments come in a wide range of styles.
- Features: The features of the window coverings can elevate the look and feel of the space. Whether it’s motorized blinds for instant control and scene setting, to top down bottom up shades that allow you to bring in light while protecting your privacy, the right window treatment function can be a game-changer.
