3 Ways to Spruce Up Your Sidelights
Sidelights are thinner windows that are installed next to doors and provide illumination to your entryways. While sidelights might be some of the narrowest windows in your home, their effect is in no way diminutive. But don’t undervalue these unique windows if you’re lucky enough to have them grace your entryways—they deserve coverage too!
From helping you better understand the benefits of sidelights to checking out our easy-to-follow guide on sprucing up sidelights, we’ve got it all here. Work with our team at Mr. K’s Fabric Shop to make the most of your sidelights with the latest Hunter Douglas blinds for sidelights, as well as sheers, shutters, and more.
Benefits of Sidelights
- Natural Sunlight: Entryways can be notoriously dark and closed off, and so the primary purpose of any window in the home is to improve the mood and feeling of a room by letting in more sunlight.
- Create Spaciousness: Sidelights help to make entryways feel more spacious in two ways. First, the natural sunlight they allow in has an opening effect on interior spaces; and second, sidelights give us a view outside that helps to elongate the feeling of space inside.
- Elevate Curb Appeal: When sidelights are used to showcase the front door, they help to elevate curb appeal as a sophisticated architectural touch. Sidelights can also be made of different types of glass, like frosted and stained glass, to customize the style.
- Better Views: Sidelights aren’t just for front doors—they can be used in coordination with any exterior door, opening up multiple rooms and expanding your visual field to include areas all around your home.
3 Ways to Spruce Up Your Sidelights
Now that we’ve discussed the benefits of sidelights, let’s look at ways to elevate those important windows to get the most out of each pane.
- Gain Control with Window Shades: While we want to enjoy the sunlight that sidelights let in, the harmful UV rays from the sun can be harmful. That’s why we recommend choosing the right blinds, shutters, or shades for light control. Adding window treatments to your sidelights can provide the needed privacy at home and add a customizable element to interior design.
- Sidelight Blinds: Homeowners can find both horizontal blinds to suit their style. Hunter Douglas blinds for sidelights include wood, faux wood, and metal options, different vane sizes, and upgradable operating systems to tailor your sidelight blinds to your home.
- Sidelight Sheers: Sheer materials add the soft touch of diffused light to your entryways, along with UV protection. That’s why we love Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades for their light-loving attributes and ability to filter out harmful UV—plus they can close tight for privacy when you need it.
- Sidelight Shutters: Get the classic look of plantation shutters for sidelights with Heritance® Wood Shutters. Made of durable hardwood poplar or basswood, shutters are great for both UV protection and privacy in an entryway. They also look great in any interior, from modern to traditional styles.
- Cellular Shades for Sidelights: Cellular shades are the perfect addition to any sidelight window. Made with a hidden layer of honeycomb-shaped cells that trap air at the window and create a layer of insulation, these shades keep your inside cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, protect from UV damage, and muffle noises from outside. Applause® Cellular Shades come in over 35 different color and fabric options in ⅜", ¾" or double pleats to perfectly fit your sidelight windows.
- Coordinate with Existing Home Decor: Hunter Douglas fabrics can be ordered as part of our Accents by the Yard™ program so that you can include the same fabrics from the treatment elsewhere in the room to fully integrate your window treatments into your interior design. Found a look you love? Many sidelight blinds and shades are available in multiple orientations as part of a Whole House Solution™ for your home.
- Add Greenery: One of our favorite facets of sidelights is the way they connect us with the outside world by creating a line of sight between our interiors and the great outdoors. Elevate this connection with the use of greenery, both inside your entryway and around the exterior near the door.
