If you have a spare room and are a book lover, why not create a library right at home? Shelly’s Interior Concepts sells premium Hunter Douglas window treatments, and we can help you build the home library you’ve always dreamt about. We’ve compiled a list of the best window treatments to help you decide.

Window treatments near Saint Michael, Minnesota (MN), for your home library

Curtains & Draperies

The traditional choice for libraries is curtains and draperies due to their classic and timeless appearance. While they don’t offer variable light control, they can provide full light when open and complete privacy when closed. Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery feature exclusive fabrics from designer Rebecca Atwood and multiple pleat options. You can also order Design Studio™ fabrics in cut yardage to create custom throw pillows and other room accents.

Wood Blinds

Wood blinds are right at home in modern or contemporary libraries. The warmth of natural wood creates a relaxing atmosphere and complements the wood of bookshelves. Parkland® Wood Blinds are available in two slat sizes and various solid paint and stain finishes. Tilt the slats of your blinds to control daytime light and privacy. Add decorative tape to your blinds to enhance their custom appearance. Hunter Douglas uses wood from responsibly managed forests and donates to the Arbor Day Foundation with every Parkland® Wood Blinds purchase.

Motorized Window Coverings

PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas takes comfort and convenience to a new level. You can operate your window treatments using a handheld device, cell phone, or a simple voice command. PowerView® Automation can also increase your home’s energy efficiency by opening and closing your shades during the day based on the room’s temperature. Motorized blinds mean no more struggling to get them in the perfect spot. Just set your favorite position and let PowerView® take care of the rest.

Sheer Shades

Sheer shades will accentuate your library’s decor with soft, diffused light. Warm light is ideal for reading, and your sheer shades can be paired with traditional curtains or drapes for added light control. Silhouette® Window Shadings feature S-shaped vanes that appear to float between two sheer panels. The second panel of the sheer fabric allows for more light to filter in without sacrificing your privacy. For a more elegant, minimalist style room, Pirouette® Window Shadings have soft, adjustable fabric vanes attached to a sheer backing. When tilted, the vanes move in tandem to create a graceful, fluid effect.

Cellular Shades

Cellular–or honeycomb–shades are versatile enough to use in any room of your home. Their unique honeycomb structure traps air to create a layer of insulation at the window. This can help maintain a comfortable temperature in your library and protect old and rare books from damage. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are available in the industry’s most comprehensive selection of pleat sizes, colors, textures, and opacities.
