Alternatives To Drapes for Living Rooms
Drapes have long been a go-to for living room windows, and for good reason—they're elegant, classic, and great for light control. But they also have their drawbacks. They can feel bulky, high-maintenance, and be a magnet for dust. But the good news is that you don't have to sacrifice style or function to move beyond drapes. Thanks to Hunter Douglas window treatments, you can get the elegance, insulation, and room-darkening capacity of drapes in more modern and innovative window treatments that match the style of your space even better than your drapes do. Our team at Rico's Window Coverings & Films would like to give you some drapery alternatives that just might be the perfect fit.
All the Comfort of Drapes, None of the Hassle
Drapes for living rooms have an undeniable elegance, but, honestly, they can be a bit high-maintenance. If you love the soft look of drapes but want something more tailored, Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades are the perfect swap. They bring the same fabric-rich feel without the bulk or constant adjusting. Plus, their structured folds stay perfectly in place, giving your living room that polished, put-together look daily. With gorgeous drapery-like fabrics and light-filtering or room-darkening options, you get the best of both worlds—timeless style, modern convenience, and a shade that always looks just right.
Drapes Are Warm, But These Shades Are Warmer
Drapes give off a warm, cozy feel, especially on chilly winter evenings—but they're not the only option for insulation. In fact, one window treatment outperforms drapes every time in the realm of insulation: Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades. These shades have a unique honeycomb structure that acts as an insulating barrier between your windows and your home. In the winter, they help keep the cold out and the warmth in. In the summer, they block heat, keeping your living room cool and comfortable. The result? Year-round energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and a home that feels just right—no matter the season.
Style Without Limits, Roller Shades That Rival Drapes
Drapes get all the credit for diverse styles, but Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades are here to change that. Think hundreds of fabrics, rich textures, and exclusive patterns—even designs from top textile artists. Whether you're after modern minimalism, cozy cottage charm, or a bold statement, you'll find a complimenting shade or pattern. And unlike drapes, these roll up neatly, giving you that custom look without billowing fabric taking up space all day, every day.
