Covering Windows in a Home Office

At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we’re experts in window fashions. We understand the intricacies of different needs for different windows, and we love to help our customers find the right solution for those needs. With the number of people who now work from home, we’ve been helping numerous clients with treating the windows in their home office. If you’re looking to spiff up your work-from-home space, see below for solutions to frequent home office challenges, and be sure contact one of our consultants for ideas for your particular situation. 

Blocking Window Glare With Shades

If you work at a computer or have frequent online meetings, you might be challenged with glare in your office space, which could have you constantly squinting. Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas offer clean lines and a classic look that make them great for nearly any aesthetic, and they help reduce glare and eye strain. Plus, you can choose the Duolite® option, which gives you a light-filtering sheer combined with a room-darkening liner so you can enjoy natural light when you want to and block the glare when you need to.

Window Coverings and Insulation 

If too much of the outside air gets in to your home office, you might find yourself very uncomfortable. One solution is to add insulation at the window, keeping outside air out and inside air in. Duette® Cellular Shades are one of the most energy-efficient products we offer—their honeycomb design traps air at the window. Plus, you can choose from numerous fabrics and pleat sizes for just the right look for your home office.

Eliminate Distraction From Outdoors

Many of our customers admit that, although it’s nice to have a view, that very view can be too distracting during work hours. One solution to outdoor distraction is a window treatment in sheer fabric. Two of our most popular sheers are Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Luminette® Sheer Panels. Both are made with sheer fabric and internal vanes that control privacy while beautifully filtering light.

Motorization for Convenience

If your home office is set up in such a way that you can’t reach your window treatment’s operating system easily or if you find you have to frequently adjust your treatment, you could consider adding a level of convenience to your space. With PowerView® Automation, you can control your window fashion remotely, using the Pebble Remote or an app on your phone—or you can even tie the system to your whole-home automation system, and control your window treatments by voice. No matter your approach, automation can bring convenience to your at-home workspace.
