If you can’t decide between a functional or stylish window treatment, there’s an option that offers both. Transitional shades fall somewhere in between the style of horizontal blinds and roller shades, with dual layers and alternating sheer and solid fabric bands providing both privacy and light control. Here are a few additional benefits to consider when you’re ready to redress your windows.

Why You Should Consider Transitional Shades

1. Convenient to Use

Many window treatment services offer various fabric band heights and opacities for your transitional shades, depending on how much light filtering you’d like in your home. You can also choose how you’d like to control your shades, such as cordless integrated handles on the bottom rail, for example. For high-tech homeowners, a motorized lifting system can also be added to integrate your shades with smart home devices.

2. Extra Coverage

The biggest benefit of transitional shades is the amount of privacy they can provide. Dual layers can be raised and lowered like regular blinds, allowing in natural lighting from the sheer fabric while retaining solitude. Transitional shades also block any lighting from coming in when closed, giving your home full coverage from the outdoors.

3. Simple to Clean

Transitional shades are easier to maintain since there are no horizontal breaks to clean in between. You only need a feather duster or an upholstery attachment on your vacuum for regular cleanings. For a more thorough cleaning, blot your shades with a soft cloth with warm water, and then air-dry.

4. Easily Customizable

Aside from their functionality, transitional shades can also act as an eye-grabbing focal point for your home. They can be made with curve-shaped vanes, adding a modern touch to your window treatment while protecting your interior from harmful UV rays. Shades also come in a variety of colors for every home aesthetic.
