Whether you’re working with bay windows, patio doors, skylights, or oversized picture windows, choosing the right window blinds can make a world of difference. At Made in the Shade Edmonton West, we specialize in custom blinds for home that enhance both style and function — and we’ll bring the showroom to you with a Free In-Home Consultation.
This guide will walk you through the right window blinds and shades for different window styles commonly found in homes across Edmonton West. It’s the perfect follow-up to our related article, where we explored how blinds transform each room of your home. Now, let’s dive into how to find the perfect fit for the windows themselves.
Bay Windows: Frame with Elegance
Bay windows offer incredible views and natural light — but they can be tricky to cover. The angles and depths require precision.
One of the best options for bay windows is wood or faux wood blinds. These can be customized to fit each panel within the bay and give the room a warm, architectural feel.
Want something softer? Roman shades offer a luxurious draped look that works beautifully in living and dining rooms. For added insulation, consider cellular shades to reduce drafts and enhance energy efficiency.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors: Functional Flow
For sliding glass doors and wide patio openings, vertical blinds or panel track shades are ideal. These move smoothly side to side, just like the door itself, and are available in beautiful modern textures and colors.
Need to block harsh afternoon sun? Solar shades are ideal for south-facing glass doors, especially when motorized for convenience.
Want more privacy without giving up natural light? Consider dual shades, which let you switch between sheer and solid panels with ease.
Tall or High Windows: Go Cordless or Motorized
Tall windows add drama and grandeur — but manually adjusting blinds can be impractical.
The solution? Motorized blinds that you can control with a remote, app, or even your voice through smart home integration. It’s perfect for skylights, two-story windows, or high accent windows in staircases and foyers.
For a clean, minimalist look, consider roller shades. They offer full coverage without visual clutter and can be installed with a sleek cassette to hide the roll when not in use.
Bathroom Windows: Privacy & Moisture Resistance
Bathroom windows need to check a few boxes: privacy, light control, and resistance to humidity.
Vinyl roller shades are a practical option that won’t warp or mildew. Prefer a natural look? Faux wood blinds mimic the appearance of real wood but hold up better in steamy environments.
You can also add a decorative element with woven wood shades — just make sure to include a privacy liner.
Nursery and Kids’ Room Windows: Safe & Soothing
Child safety should always come first. All our custom blinds and shades come with cordless lift systems or motorization options to meet today’s safety standards.
Blackout cellular shades are perfect for naps and early bedtimes. For a bit more light flexibility, dual shades work well in nurseries and growing kids’ rooms.
Looking for a bold design element? Add a touch of whimsy with a decorative grille for texture and charm.
Kitchen Windows: Tough & Stylish
Kitchen windows face heat, steam, and splashes, so durability is key. Roller shades in easy-to-clean materials are a smart pick. They’re sleek, modern, and available in moisture-resistant fabrics.
Faux wood blinds are another durable option, offering a timeless look that pairs well with any cabinetry.
Need something unexpected? Try Tableaux Decorative Grilles over an arch or sink window for a dramatic custom finish.
Skylights: Light Control from Above
Skylights are stunning but can lead to overheating or glare. Cellular shades are the go-to solution here. Mounted directly into the skylight opening, they block sunlight and help regulate temperature.
For ultimate convenience, add motorization so you can open or close them with a single command — no ladder required.
Entryway & Foyer Windows: Style at First Sight
Your entryway sets the tone for your home. Don’t let uncovered windows create a blank or exposed look.
Sheer shades offer privacy without darkening the space, perfect for sidelights or transoms. Prefer more drama? Zebra shades let you control light and create layered interest.
If you have an arched window or specialty shape, we can create custom-fitted blinds — or consider a decorative grille for architectural impact.
