Eliminate Distractions in your Home Office

Working from home can be a blessing and a curse. A gift that you are in the comfort of your own home; a curse, there are more things to be distracted by. One way to quickly remove exterior distractions and annoying glare are with custom window treatments.

3 Ideas for Home Office Blinds and Shades

When you work from home, you expect to be able to focus and be productive. We also provide shades, shutters, curtains, and drapery panels for your home office to help shut out some outdoor nuisances. Finding the right window treatment for your home office is easy when you work with 3 Day Blinds. One of our experienced design consultants is with you every step of the way, making the process a collaboration that leads to your dream window coverings. 

The ideas below are just 3 of the examples of custom window treatments for your home office.

1. Horizontal Sheer Shades

3 Day Blinds Horizontal Sheer Roller Shades are a unique style of window treatment that offers the benefits of blinds with slats and sheer fabrics. These window coverings have slats that run along sheer fabric channels. These fabric channels allow you to see the view outside when opened but still provide privacy when the slats are closed. While sheer, these window treatments still have room darkening options and can be customized to your liking.

We also carry motorized Horizontal Sheer Shades, and motorized roller shades can be automated using the 3 Day Blinds Smart Hub. This device makes your window treatments smart. With smart Horizontal Sheer Shades, you can program your window treatments to work with your schedule. It gives you enhanced privacy that you can set and forget.

2. Cellular Shades

Your home office should be just as productive as your work area. Working in a room that is too hot or cold is a surefire way to have an unproductive work-from-home day. 3 Day Blinds Cellular Shades are an excellent solution for office spaces needing extra help keeping a consistent temperature. Our custom Cellular Shades help keep your room at the perfect temperature because they have air channels that offer an extra layer of insulation.

Much like our Horizontal Sheer Shades, our Cellular Shades have options for motorization and home automation. Cellular Shades also have various draw options, like a top-down-bottom-up draw. Top-down-bottom-up shades can be lowered from the top or raised from the bottom, meaning more control of how light streams into your office.

3. Soft Roman Shades

Does your home office feel drab and boring? Are you looking for a statement piece that not only draws your guest's attention? Soft Roman Shades might be the option for you. Soft Roman Shades are window treatments that combine some of the features of Curtains and Drapery Panels and a standard Roman Shade. Soft Roman Shades are large pieces of fabric that attach to a headrail for operation. 

Soft Roman Shades are a great accent to your home because these window treatments bring in visual warmth to your home. They almost act as large paintings for your windows. Finding your perfect fabric is easy when you meet with one of our design consultants. These window treatments come in various fabric options. They can be made with light filtering or room darkening liners to give you precisely the amount of light you are looking for.

No matter which window treatment you choose, 3 Day Blinds is here to help you design your perfect fit. Speak with a locally based design consultant today.
