Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Coastal Window Treatments

• Coastal Style: Want to give a heightened touch of coastal style to your beach home? Buy a tall, elegant, tailored pleat drapery in a fair, neutral color such as a white sand tone. For a touch of visual interest, choose a fabric with subtle patterns like east-west stripes. If you want to create a contrast to ground the bright scene, go with black drapery hardware.
• Humidity Level: Check the humidity level inside and in the surroundings of your beach home. To cope with higher moisture, we recommend the best quality faux wood blinds.
• Day and Night Option: If you want to get ample light from the upper part of the window while maintaining privacy from the lower part in your beach house, dual day and night fabric blinds are the best option.
• Kid Safety: No cords, no strangulation hazard! If you have kids or pets in your coastal residence, we strongly recommend a cordless kid-safe window cover.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: To minimize cleaning costs of your coastal window coverings, go with blinds having vertical or horizontal slats.
• Valance: Consider a matching valance to decorate and protect your window covers from the coastal elements.
• Care: Don’t scrub the fabrics when cleaning.

5 Best Beach Home Window Treatment Ideas for View, Privacy, and Light

1. Moisture-Resistant Faux Wood Blinds

As a beach house is located closer to water, one of the primary concerns when choosing window treatments is protection from water damage. If moisture-resistance and durability is your top priority, go with faux wood blinds with 2” slats.

Faux wood is a much better alternative to real wood in damper environments. Also, they are less prone to warping, fading, cracking, peeling, and chipping. They exude a beachy feel and can be thrown open to welcome in the refreshing sea breeze.

Plus they are one of the most budget saving window coverings for beach homes. 

2. Damp-proof Sheer Light Filtering Shades

Want to cover the west-facing windows of your beach house? Want your new blinds to reflect light and regulate sea breeze? Purchase lightweight, dainty, and pretty sheer light filtering shades.

They will provide your seaside lodge’s interior with plenty of sunlight and a sun-kissed glow and controlled breeze all day long. They also come with zebra elegance. Their elegant and playful look makes them a great choice for contemporary coastal setup.

3. Solar Blinds

Does your beach house in the US have south-facing windows that receive direct sunlight all day long? 

Solar blinds or solar roller shades would be an ideal option to reject UV rays, beat heat, and reduce glare. Plus they will provide privacy while maintaining your view to the outside.

These affordable blinds come with five popular opacity levels or openness factors: 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, or 14%. The openness percentages vary based on the tightness of the fabric weave of these coastal sun shades.

For maximum opacity and most privacy, choose a ‘solar roller’ with the tightest weave and a lighter, light reflecting color. A lighter color will also offer a better view-through.

For a blend of functionality and beauty, select designer-favorite screen shades for your seaside lodge. They work equally well in all spaces, but beach home owners usually prefer them for their sunrooms, porches, and terraces.

4. Drapery Panels

Want to add to the visual interest of your coastal home decor style? A drapery or a folded fabric curtain would be a better option with lots of colors, materials, and patterns.

An even better alternative is pairing your coastal striped drapery panel with classic Roman shade. Go with warm neutral colors to evoke sandy tones of the seashore. If you want to bring in the ocean hues indoors, we recommend a tropical blue color for your beach window treatment.

5. Bamboo or Woven Wood Blinds

As your coastal home abounds in nature, infuse a natural texture and warmth into its white or light-colored interior. These hand-made window covers are made from natural fibers, like bamboo, exotic grasses, jute, and reeds.

Bamboo or woven wood shades offer various light control levels, ranging from ample light to total blackout (for sleeping quarters in your beach resort).

Superior weaving techniques minimize bowing, stretching, and breaking of these rustic window coverings for beach home settings.

Customization & Design Inspiration

• Size: Treat all coast room windows, from extra small to extra-large.
• Color: Greens, soft blues, neutrals, etc.
• Fabric: Choose damp-resistant fabric with looser or tighter weave to get the desired amount of visibility (view), light control, and heat-prevention.
• Design: Choose a rustic design with natural seaside textures.
• Valance: Consider adding coastal valance, beach valance, and nautical valance to soften the look of your coastal window treatment.
• Mount Position: Mount the shades inside (for a sleeker look) or outside the frame (for extra light coverage and to make your smaller window look bigger).

Measuring Instructions

Measuring your window is a critical step in achieving the perfect fit. Before you start, consider the shape and configuration in your windows, such as angle tops, arches, skylights, and bay windows.

• Measure Width: Measure the width of the windows at top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest value to make sure the blinds will roll up and down the space without getting stuck.
• Measure Height: Measure the height of the top of the window or other space from the top to bottom in the left, middle, and right. Record the shortest measurement. For example, if the measurements are 24”, 24 ¾”, and 24 ¾”, order coastal window blinds measuring 24” tall.
• Measure Depth (optional): If you want to install blinds inside the recess of your coastal window, do measure depth and match it with the product specifications.
• Deduction: Do not make any deductions. We’ll do it for you.

FAQs about Coastal Window Treatments

What are the best window coverings for the beach?

View-preserving sheer shades, UV-rejecting solars, humidity-resistant faux wood blinds, and naturally-textured woven wood shades are the top choices for beach houses.

What is the best window covering for bay windows?

Plantation shutters, sheer curtains, romans, pleated shades, and cellular shades are the best options for covering the bay windows of your beach house for beauty and energy efficiency.

What are the current popular window treatments?

Smart, motorized, battery-powered sun shades, insulating honeycomb shades, and light-diffusing rollers are some of the most popular window treatments for coastal homes and other living spaces these days.

What is the best window treatment for coastal homes?

Moisture-resistant window treatments that prevent warping or mildew growth caused by moisture-laden sea air are the best choice for coastal homes. Consider durable shutters, as they are highly resistant to humidity and can easily withstand the damp conditions prevalent in coastal regions. Humidity-resistant faux wood blinds, solar shades, and woven blinds can also withstand the vapor-rich and salty air while still offering light control, privacy, and view to the outside.

What are the best window frames for coastal areas?

Being naturally resistant to moisture, salt corrosion, and UV damage, uPVC is widely regarded as the best material for window frames in coastal regions. It’s a long-lasting option for homes exposed to coastal weather, as it does not warp, rot, or rust amidst the harsh elements.

What are the best windows for coastal living?

uPVC and aluminum are considered more suitable alternatives to timber for windows for coastal living. Aluminum and uPVC windows can better withstand the unique challenges posed by coastal climates, such as increased exposure to moisture, salt, and harsh winds.

What can I put on my windows so I can see out but others can't see in?

Use a reflective (one-way mirror) film to glass surfaces of windows to enhance daytime privacy in your coastal home. A thin, adhesive window film will allow you to see out while preventing others from seeing in. It will also reduce glare and block UV rays.
