Curtains for Cozy-Reading Nook Windows

The beautiful thing about a book is that you can curl up with one just about anywhere. You can get into your latest thriller on the couch, dive into a romantic comedy in bed, or check out that latest historical fiction novel on your patio. Of course, there was one space in the home that we love to settle down in with a good book: a reading nook window.

Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades near Traverse City, Michigan (MI)

Giving us natural lighting and a view to the outside, a reading nook window combines the peacefulness of nature with the excitement of the story that is in front of our eyes. Of course, when we want those reading nook windows to be closed, it can be a little tricky finding a window treatment that can cover such a unique space. That is where we come in to help.

At Trend Window & Design, we offer Hunter Douglas window treatments perfect for reading nooks or anywhere else in your home. Whether you choose a curtain from the Design Studio™ collection, a sheer shade, or a roller shade with a blackout liner, we have a treatment perfect for the reading nook in your space.

Decorative Curtains

If you want your reading nook window to be a total escape from the rest of the world, then, adding decorative curtains could be a fun touch to the space. With choices from the Hunter Douglas Design Studio® Side Panels and Drapery collection, we have over 250+ color and fabric options.

  • If you want to create a soothing atmosphere, blue, seafoam green, or lilac-colored decorative curtains can soothe your senses as you dive into a story.
  • If you are decorating a children’s reading nook window, a curtain with fun patterns and designs will help keep the space enticing and exciting for your little one.
  • If you are someone who loves a good theme, finding a decorative curtain with a certain design or even a bookish theme can help transform your reading nook window into a reading nook escape.

Sheer Shades

Reading can be a little tough if there’s too much light shining into our eyes. Of course, reading can be quite difficult if we have no light at all. This means you must pick shades for reading nooks that provide the best of both shade and light. That is why another option when it comes to reading nook window treatments would be sheer shades. Sheer shades filter light without totally blocking it, so you can enjoy natural lighting that allows you to read without feeling like you are sitting on the surface of the bright sun. Combining opaque vanes with sheer panels, these options from Hunter Douglas come in vertical or horizontal orientations and are a light loviing window treatment at your windows that come in various colors, allowing you to create a space that you love to look at and sit in every day. Try them in:

  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades
  • Pirouette® Sheer Shades
  • Luminette® Sheer Panels

Shades with Blackout Capability

You might be a little confused at this last option when it comes to reading nook windows. After all, we just said that it’s impossible to read without some light. Of course, there are people that love reading well into the night. This doesn’t mean that you want people on the outside of your windows to be able to see you.

If you would a reading nook with blackout shades, consider a Hunter Douglas shade with Duolite®. Duolite® combines two fabric panels in a single shade: One of the fabric panels is made from a light filtering fabric and the other from a light blocking fabric.

Duolite® is available on:

  • Vignette® Roman Shades
  • Duette® Cellular Shades
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades
With shades with blackout capabilities, you can block out unwanted eyes and unwanted artificial light from streetlamps or car headlights. This also allows you to set up an interior lighting space that let you read with all of the privacy that you need.
