How to Cover Transom Windows
Transom windows add a unique architectural touch to a home that immediately catches the eye. However, that same uniqueness is often what makes them challenging for many homeowners to cover.
Since transom windows are often above doors or larger windows, they need styles that offer light control and privacy without covering their character. Luckily, we have several styles that complement these windows while adding several practical benefits. Here are our top picks:
Cellular Shades for Transom Windows
Cellular shades are one of our top choices for transom window coverings. Since cellular shades are minimalist in design but powerful in functionality, they provide benefits such as light filtration and energy efficiency without covering your windows. Duette® Cellular Shades by Hunter Douglas are available in several fabric colors and opacities, making them easy to customize according to the needs of various rooms.
We also love cellular shades for transom windows because they offer:
- A lightweight design that works well on smaller or unique windows.
- Energy-efficient construction that helps reduce heat transfer.
- Motorization for hard-to-reach windows.
Custom Roman Shades on Transom Windows
Roman shades are a beautiful option if you want your transom windows to have an understated elegance. With uniform fabric folds and luxurious fabrics, Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades are excellent for formal dining rooms, elevated bedrooms, and entryways where you want to draw the eye. With various fabric opacities available, these shades let you choose the level of privacy and light control that best suits your home.
These Hunter Douglas shades also offer benefits like:
- Light-filtering and room-darkening choices.
- No exposed rear cords for a streamlined look.
- Hands-free automation for ultimate convenience.
How Custom Drapes Cover Transom Windows
For homeowners who want to make a statement with their transom windows, custom drapes are a beautiful way to frame the window and add a touch of drama. Carole™ Drapes come in over 4,000 elegant fabric choices that provide excellent privacy, light control, and insulation. Since they can be installed above the transom window and extend down to cover the larger window below, custom drapes create a seamless appearance that works especially well in living rooms, dining rooms, and spaces with tall ceilings.
We love custom drapes for transom windows because they provide:
- A way to frame tall windows and create a finished appearance.
- Added privacy and light control when closed.
- The ability to coordinate with your existing décor.
