Window Treatments for East-Facing Windows
Architects and builders place east-facing windows in kitchens and other rooms where morning sunlight makes these spaces feel energizing and alive. It's a wise design choice that encourages homeowners to gather where the light is brightest. But that same brightness can cause unwanted glare, heat, and fading furniture.
The design experts at Cindy's Window Fashions know how to manage eastern exposure so you can enjoy the benefits of morning light without those drawbacks. We utilize the designer’s preferred choice for window coverings: Hunter Douglas.
East-Facing Window Treatments
Cindy's Window Fashions helps homeowners select custom window treatments that manage morning sun exposure. We’ve featured a few options that check the style and functionality boxes:
Silhouette® Sheer Shades
These window treatments for east-facing rooms feature soft fabric vanes suspended between sheer panels, creating a beautiful filtering effect for morning rays. The adjustable vanes let you fine-tune light levels from gentle diffusion to a higher level of filtering. Their UV-blocking fabrics protect your interiors while maintaining views of the outdoors, so these are ideal window treatments for east-facing rooms that need protection and natural light.
Designer Solar Shades
Manufactured with specialized screen fabrics, these shades block damaging UV rays while preserving outdoor views. Their openness factor determines how much light enters while consistently protecting against sun damage and heat gain. The modern, minimalist design of these Hunter Douglas shades complements contemporary interiors and promises reliable morning sun control for east-facing windows.
Duette® Cellular Shades with Duolite®
This innovative dual-shade system combines light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics in a single shade, offering maximum flexibility for changing brightness levels. You can adjust each fabric independently to manage bright morning sun or create a room-darkening effect as desired. The honeycomb construction also provides excellent insulation, regulating temperature fluctuations common with direct sun exposure.
Somner® Vertical Blinds
These blinds work especially well for the low-angle morning sun that pours through east-facing windows. You can rotate the vanes to redirect light exactly where you want it as the sun climbs higher. We recommend them for oversized windows and sliding glass doors — the selection of colors and finishes in fabric, vinyl, and aluminum is unmatched in the industry.
