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.
- Try Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Roller Shades in a fun pattern such as designer Seema Krish’s Intersections in Monsoon Blue with Design Studio™ Drapery in an accent color, such as light blue, navy blue, or charcoal gray to play off the colors in the shades.
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.
- Try Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Woods Waterfall Roman Shades in a chunky Kathay Wood with Design Studio™ Side Panels in a linen-look Destination fabric in Classic White for a breezy global design.
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.
- Try The variable light control and flowy white tones of Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings and Design Studio™ Drapery in an accent color with a blackout liner for a flexible lighting experience that pops.
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.
- Try The acoustic-improving Solera® Soft Shades in a light gray with Design Studio™ Side Panels in a charcoal gray fabric for a neutral palette with depth that is great for bedrooms.
