Once of the reasons we love north Florida is the proximity of Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra Beach to the Atlantic Ocean. If you live in this area, you might be wondering what options offer the best coastal window treatment for your home.
If you live near the coast, the right window treatment can create the coastal, beachy look and feel to make our home a real coastal retreat. Let’s look at some of the top coastal window treatments
1. Natural Woven Shades
A very popular choice due to the look and the function, natural woven shades are one of the top coastal window treatments in Ponte Vedra and the beaches. There are lots of colors and textures to choose from with bamboo, natural woods, exotic textures, and more. No matter the look you prefer, natural woven shades work great for any beach or coastal area look.
If you live by the water, these shades will give you all the views when they are raised. Add a backing to a natural woven shade for added room darkening and privacy options. With so many options and features, natural woven shades are a top choice for coastal living.
2. Honeycomb Shades
A staple in many Florida homes, honeycomb shades offer a great option for your coastal home. They come in a variety of textures and colors to match your décor and are popular for their ability to keep your room cooler in the hot summer months, and warmer when the temperature drops. The honeycomb feature creates air pockets that create energy efficiency. These shades can be customized to fit your needs with sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque, and room-darkening options.
Honeycomb shades are cordless and can be motorized, too. Honeycomb shades also have a “top down, bottom up” option to allow you to open the shade at the top, while keeping your privacy at eye level.
3. Drapery
Any beach home needs the right drapery for your windows. With so many options for colors and textures, it is so easy to add the perfect complement to your coastal home. Choosing tropical blue colors or natural sandy tones can help bring the beach and ocean into your home. Drapery can be combined with other window treatments, like natural woven shades or solar shades to complete your look and provide additional functionality.
4. Plantation Shutters
A waterproof option you can use near the coast, plantation shutters look great and function very well. They come in a wide range of sizes and provide invisible tilt shutters without any tilt bar to give you unobstructed views and privacy when you need it.
When you want a classic choice for your coastal home, plantation shutters are a great option and can even be motorized for even more convenience and to give you added functionality for windows in harder-to-reach areas.
