Large windows can completely transform a room by bringing in abundant natural light, enhancing scale, and adding dramatic flair. While enjoying the view is great, most of us still want the flexibility of window coverings—whether for privacy, insulation, or simply to make the space feel warm and inviting. The right window treatment can take your interiors from decent to luxurious.

What Should You Consider When Choosing Large Window Coverings?

Before selecting a covering, ask yourself what you want to achieve. Here are key factors to keep in mind:

Functionality

Big windows require coverings that are easy to operate. That could be curtains with smooth pull systems, blinds with intuitive controls, or motorised blinds or curtains for effortless convenience.

Style

Do you want to make a statement or keep things subtle?

• Curtains add softness and elegance to large windows or doors.
• Blinds offer a neat, minimalistic look.
  For a subdued appearance, opt for light tones like soft grey, beige, or off-whites with warm undertones.

Insulation

In Indian climates—whether it’s the summer heat or winter chill—large windows can make temperature control difficult. Choose coverings that enhance insulation such as face-fit blinds, double-layered treatments, or curtains over blinds.

Privacy

Large windows often lack privacy.
Light-filtering blinds allow light in while keeping prying eyes out.
At DIY Custom Blinds, our sunscreen blinds block 95% of UV rays, making them perfect for reducing heat and glare while maintaining visibility.

Best Window Coverings for Large Windows and Doors

Curtains

If you’re looking to soften the space or add elegance, curtains are a perfect choice.

• Lined curtains offer great insulation.
• Sheer curtains create a soft, textured ambiance.
  They can also be used to conceal uneven walls or floors.

At DIY Custom Blinds, we custom-make curtains up to 8 metres wide with a 4.2 metre drop, and can cater to even larger openings with custom sizing.

Combine curtains with Roller Blinds for added flexibility—use the blind for light control and the curtain for visual texture.

Great for: Adding softness, texture, and elegance to a room.

Linked Roller Blinds

These are excellent for sliding doors and wide windows, where you want easy control across multiple blinds.

Linked Roller Blinds sit side-by-side and operate via a single control, but can also be moved individually, giving you the flexibility to cover just part of the window.
