Why Winter Window Treatments are Essential for the Holidays
When you think about holiday decorating, windows may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, windows are one of the most important features of a room. They frame your view, control the amount of light entering your space, and even influence the energy efficiency of your home.
Here’s why winter window treatments are essential during the holidays:
- Ambiance: The soft glow of holiday lights or candles is best enjoyed with winter window treatments that enhance the atmosphere.
- Energy Efficiency: With cold temperatures sweeping through Virginia Beach, insulating your windows with energy-efficient shades or blinds will help keep your home cozy and warm.
- Privacy: Whether you’re hosting overnight guests or simply enjoying time with family, privacy is key during the holidays.
- Style: Custom window coverings add a personal touch, bringing elegance and sophistication to your holiday decor.

Now that we know why window treatments are so important, let’s explore some of the best options for holiday styling. At Made in the Shade Virginia Beach, we offer a wide range of options to fit every taste and budget. Here are some top picks for festive window coverings:
1. Sheer Shades for Soft, Holiday Glow
Sheer shades offer an elegant way to enhance the soft lighting from your holiday décor. Their layered fabric diffuses sunlight, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout your home. Sheer shades are perfect for living rooms or dining rooms where you entertain guests.
✨ Pro Tip: Pair sheer shades with holiday garlands or metallic accents for a beautifully coordinated look. And for ultimate convenience, consider opting for cordless versions to keep things sleek and simple.

2. Cellular Shades for a Cozy, Insulated Home
Cellular shades are a must-have during the colder months. Their honeycomb design helps to trap air, which improves your home’s insulation. This is particularly important for those chilly Virginia Beach nights, helping you keep the warmth inside where it belongs.
Cellular shades come in a wide pop of colors and textures, which means you can coordinate them with your holiday color scheme. Plus, they’re available in both light-filtering and blackout options—perfect for getting that restful sleep after a holiday party.

3. Dual Shades for Flexibility and Style
If you love the idea of a modern twist on your holiday window treatments, consider dual shades or zebra shades. These versatile window coverings give you complete control over the amount of light coming into your home. You can easily switch between light filtering and room-darkening to accommodate your needs throughout the day and evening.
Whether you’re creating a festive brunch or winding down for a holiday movie marathon, dual shades are perfect for creating a comfortable atmosphere.

4. Plantation Shutters for Classic Elegance
For a timeless, sophisticated look, plantation shutters are always a great choice. Their clean lines and classic appeal complement any holiday décor, from traditional wreaths to modern ornaments. Plantation shutters also offer excellent light control, allowing you to adjust the amount of natural light that enters your home.
These shutters are especially ideal for dining rooms or entryways where you want to make a lasting impression on your guests.

5. Motorized Shades for Convenience and Luxury
Hosting a holiday party and need a quick window treatment solution? Motorized shades are a game-changer. With just the touch of a button, you can raise or lower your shades to create the perfect ambiance. Motorized shades are also compatible with most home automation systems, allowing you to control them with your smartphone or voice assistant.
Whether you’re adjusting the shades to block out sunlight for a cozy movie night or opening them to enjoy the view, motorized shades add an extra layer of convenience and luxury to your home.

6. Decorative Grilles for a Unique Holiday Touch
For a touch of artistry, consider adding decorative grilles to your windows or archways. Tableaux Decorative Grilles mimic the look of wrought iron or wood, providing a striking visual element that draws attention.
These panels are perfect for enhancing your entryway or large windows, especially if you’re hanging holiday decorations like garlands, wreaths, or string lights. Adding a grille can instantly make your space feel festive and customized.
