Window Treatments for Sidelights

Sidelights, the narrow windows flanking your front door, are more than just decorative elements. They play a crucial role in bringing natural light into your foyer and offering you a glimpse of the outside world. But these windows can also create challenges regarding privacy and light management. This is where the right window treatments come into play, transforming sidelights from potential vulnerabilities into stylish and functional aspects of your home's design.

Selecting the ideal window treatments for your sidelights involves considering aesthetics and functionality. Hunter Douglas offers a range of options that can be tailored to fit the particular dimensions of sidelight windows. From sheer shades that gently diffuse light to more opaque options that provide complete privacy, there's a solution for every need and style preference. Let's explore some of the diverse and elegant window treatment options available to complement your sidelights perfectly:

One of our standout Hunter Douglas offerings are the Duette® Cellular Shades. These shades are versatile, fitting almost any shape and size, but they also provide an added layer of insulation at the window, thanks to their cellular construction. This feature is particularly beneficial for sidelight windows, which, when not insulated, can lead to a drafty and cold foyer.

For those who appreciate a soft diffusion of light, Silhouette® Window Shadings are an excellent choice. These shades are designed with S-shaped vanes that appear to float between two sheers. While drawing sunlight into the room, these vanes can be tilted to control the light, offering a blend of privacy and natural illumination – perfect for stunning sidelight windows.

If you're looking for a vertical window treatment solution, Luminette® Privacy Sheers are an ideal match for sidelights. They feature a sheer fabric face that lets light gently filter into the space and soft fabric vanes that control privacy and light. Their vertical orientation makes them an excellent choice for the narrow dimensions of sidelight windows.

Another superb option for sidelight windows is Vignette® Modern Roman Shades. These shades are available in narrow widths, making them a perfect fit for sidelights. They offer a modern twist on the classic Roman shade, providing a sleek and contemporary look while maintaining the functionality and privacy needed for these windows.
