Layered Window Treatments, Drapery, Side Panels, Roller Shades, Roman Shades, Honeycomb Shades

Choosing the right window treatments for your home can seem daunting, with so many styles and options. It can be hard to choose just one – so don’t. There are a lot of benefits to styling your window with layers of window treatments. At Gotcha Covered Blind & Decorating Center, we love both the look and the practicality, so we’ve made a list of some of the reasons we think you’ll love layering window treatments, too.

More Roomfor Expression

If a single-window covering can reflect your style, then layering window treatments doubles the effect. With so many fabric options, your pairing shades and drapes reflect your unique personality. 

Style with Depth

Layering your window treatments allows you to play off multiple levels of pattern and texture in your textiles for a more complex interior design. Pair a heavily textured natural weave with flowy sheers for a dreamy island vibe or a light gray with a slight metallic accent with a more saturated charcoal gray for a neutral palette with depth.

Better Light Control

For most window treatments, light can leak around the edges or through cord holes and adding a layer of drapery allows you to get a darker room when you need it. Alternatively, choosing two layers of window treatments allows you to go with a light-filtering option for optimal daytime light control and a room-darkening option for optimal nighttime light control.

Energy Efficiency

Adding another layer of window treatments helps insulate your home from heat and cold. When curtains are pulled closed over a layer of shades or shutters, the air pocket trapped between the layers creates a barrier between the interior temperature of your home and the exterior air temperature. Your home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and your energy bills will be greatly reduced.

Sound Absorption

In addition to improving the energy efficiency of your home, layering your window treatments improves their sound absorption, which makes for a more serene interior. This is especially helpful around busy intersections and highways. With proper sound barriers, your home can still be situated in a convenient location while feeling miles from town.
