How to Style Large Rooms with Window Treatments

Tips for Bringing Comfort, Light, and Balance into Spacious Homes

Large rooms give you space to breathe. They’re perfect for relaxing, hosting family, or just enjoying a little extra elbow room. With high ceilings and big windows, these spaces often feel open and full of light—but they can also feel unfinished or hard to cozy up.

At Bindi and Bird, we help you create rooms that feel both beautiful and comfortable, starting with one of the most important design elements: your window treatments.

Here are four thoughtful tips to help you decorate large rooms using custom window coverings.

Let Natural Light Shine in the Right Way

Big windows welcome plenty of sunshine. To make that light feel warm and gentle, choose window treatments in soft, earthy tones. Beiges, light browns, or natural wood shades help bring out the beauty of the light while adding calm to the space.

Natural light is a gift—warm-colored fabrics and finishes help you enjoy it without feeling overwhelmed.

Use Darker Accents for Coziness

If your room feels too open or cold, darker shades can help bring the space down to a more grounded, comforting feel. Fabrics in charcoal, navy, or chocolate brown create contrast and add depth. They’re especially helpful in bedrooms or sitting areas where a cozy feel is key.

Room-darkening options are great for privacy and rest, while still keeping a room elegant and stylish.

Consider Motorized Shades for Ease

Large windows often mean extra height or width, which can make adjusting blinds or shades a daily chore. Motorized window treatments offer a simple, elegant solution. With a remote or phone app, you can raise, lower, or tilt your shades from anywhere in the room.

This is especially helpful in living rooms or bedrooms with tall or hard-to-reach windows. Plus, it adds a modern touch that feels effortless.

Improve Comfort Year-Round

Sunlight is great, but too much can cause a room to heat up quickly in warmer months—and in winter, heat can escape through those same large windows. That’s where energy-efficient shades, like honeycomb designs, come in.

These shades are built to trap air inside small pockets, helping your home stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They’re a beautiful way to improve comfort while saving on energy.

Extra Styling Tips for Large Spaces

• Try layered window treatments—like combining sheers with drapes—for added texture.
• Use your window coverings to tie in colors from your floors, rugs, or furniture.
• A subtle pattern or textured fabric can add interest without overwhelming the space.
• Go for high-quality finishes. Well-made window treatments can truly elevate a room.

Let Your Space Feel Finished

Window treatments do more than block sunlight—they add warmth, style, and softness to your space. In larger rooms, they’re often the missing piece that brings everything together.
