And while this type of design may seem like it limits your options, there's still plenty of ways to control outside lighting and protect privacy while also creating an attractive look in that room of your home or business.
Don't sweat finding the right blinds or shades if you need to cover multiple windows in a small space. Check out Blindster's guide and get the right look for your tastes, your décor, and your home.
Inside Mounts
Mounting blinds or shades inside window frames is a great solution for close-together windows that have their own separate frames. It helps maintain a sleek, uniform appearance without the potential for overlapping that can occur with outside mounts. Be sure to take precise measurements before placing your order, and take your time during the installation process to get the most consistent look across all windows once the blinds or shades are installed.
Top Picks for This Look
If you're thinking about mounting your window treatments inside the frames of your close-together windows, you can't go wrong with these product types:
One Large Shade
For windows that share a single frame, an extra large or over sized window treatment can create the illusion that the room has one giant and luxurious picture window. Having a single shade also makes it easy to quickly control light and privacy in the room, as you only must raise or lower a single lift mechanism rather than multiple window treatments.
Top Picks for This Look
Homeowners looking for simplicity and use of ease will appreciate the convenience of covering multiple close-together windows with a single large shade. We recommend the following styles due to their customization and ability to be cut to extra-large widths:
Top Down Bottom Up Shades
Top down bottom up shades are among the most versatile window treatments on the market. They raise from the bottom like traditional shades, but they can also be pulled down from the top. That means you can enjoy ample sunlight while still protecting your family's privacy and eliminating harsh glare.
