Our Top Blinds for Large Windows

Over the years, we’ve leaned toward a few collections as our go-to choices for large windows in Austin homes. Here are just a few of our favorites:

Graber® Vertical Blinds

These aren’t your typical vertical blinds. While vertical blinds of the past were known for kinks and breakage, Graber® changes the game with vertical blinds that come in fabric, sheer, and vinyl options on a headrail. Vinyl Crown and S-shaped vanes add subtle visual interest with a construction engineered for fewer light leaks and comfortable privacy.

Fabric and sheer vanes provide an alternative to vinyl, offering a luxurious drape that mimics the appearance of custom drapery. And, this collection spans a wide gamut of colors and fabrics, offering ultimate customization.

This collection of window treatments for sliding glass doors from Hunter Douglas offers a fresh take on the classic window covering with sheer vertical panels that diffuse incoming sunlight for a gentle glow. Maintain a clear view of your surroundings without compromising on privacy. Luminette® Sheer Panels feature over 80 unique fabrics to choose from, as well as options for coordinating cut fabrics so you can match your vertical blinds to accent pillows and upholstery.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds

If you’re not sold on vertical blinds but are still searching for that perfect window treatment solution for your large windows and sliding glass doors, then look no further than Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds from Hunter Douglas. These sleek and modern gliding panels cover your windows in a way that evokes the aura of a high-rise in the city.
