Are Sidelight Blinds Worth It?
Sidelights are small windows that flank the sides of a front door. They are tall and narrow, and many wonder if they are worth covering. Every window is worth covering, regardless of size, including sidelights.
Reasons to Cover Sidelights
- Privacy & Security
- Aesthetics
- UV Protection
Use Sidelight Blinds for Privacy
Sidelights may be small, but they allow others to see your home. Knowing you can cover the sidelights anytime can give you peace of mind. Eliminating the view into your home can make it more secure, especially at night. Leaving your sidelights uncovered allows intruders to see if the house is empty.
Protect Your Interior with Sidelight Blinds
The sunlight that brightens the entrance to your home will also damage your furniture and flooring over time. You can protect your home’s interior from discoloration and fading using sidelight blinds.
Sidelight Blinds Have Aesthetic Appeal
Sidelight blinds can tie a space together and bring visual interest to your entryway. You can coordinate your sidelight coverings with the shades or blinds in adjacent rooms to create a cohesive design that makes your home more inviting for family and friends.
Ways to Cover Sidelights
One of the best things about choosing Hunter Douglas blinds for sidelights is that blinds aren’t your only option. You can choose from several window covering styles to coordinate perfectly with your home’s interior:
- Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds: The sleek, streamlined appearance of metal blinds is ideal for contemporary and industrial design. With over 70 colors and finishes, finding one you love is effortless. Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are available in ½” that look right at home in narrow sidelights.
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades: Sheer shades diffuse sunlight to disperse it throughout your entryway and create a welcoming glow. Their delicate fabric also provides outstanding protection from damaging UV rays.
- Luminette® Sheer Panels: The vertical orientation of Luminette® Privacy Sheers beautifully complements wider sidelights. Rotate the vanes to let natural light in when you want it, and close them when you don’t.
- Duette® Cellular Shades: Cellular shades bring a significant texture to small windows. Duette® Cellular Shades offer unmatched insulation at the window to help keep unwanted warm or cold air from sneaking past the sidelights.
- Shutters: Bring the classic charm of this iconic window treatment to your sidelights. Shutters provide exceptional light control and are available in various materials and colors. You can cover sidelights with Heritance® Wood Shutters, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters, or NewStyle® Composite Shutters.
