Get Your Home Ready for Fall: The Best Window Treatments for Comfort, Style & Energy Efficiency
As summer begins to wind down in Northeastern Pennsylvania, now is the perfect time to start getting your home ready for fall. Cooler temperatures, shorter days, and changing sunlight can make a noticeable difference in how your home feels — and the right window treatments can help.
At Valley Blinds, we help homeowners throughout Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Clarks Summit, Dallas, Pittston, Mountain Top, and surrounding NEPA communities find custom window treatments that combine style, privacy, light control, and energy efficiency.
Why Update Your Window Treatments Before Fall?
Windows can be a significant source of heat loss as temperatures begin to drop. Custom window treatments provide more than a finished look — certain styles can add another layer between your home's interior and the glass.
Fall is also a great time to update rooms before the holiday season arrives. Whether you're replacing outdated blinds or furnishing a new home, custom window treatments can completely change the look and feel of a space.
1. Cellular Shades for Energy Efficiency
Cellular, or honeycomb, shades are an excellent option for homeowners looking for additional insulation.
Their unique cellular construction traps air at the window, helping create an insulating barrier between your room and the glass. They also offer a clean, versatile appearance that works well throughout the home.
For homeowners in Northeastern Pennsylvania, where temperatures can change considerably from season to season, energy-efficient shades are worth considering.
2. Motorized Shades for Everyday Convenience
Fall means shorter days — and more frequent adjusting of your window treatments as daylight changes.
Motorized shades make it easy to control your window coverings with the touch of a button. Depending on the system selected, smart shades can also offer scheduling and smart-home integration.
Imagine having your shades automatically adjust throughout the day or close in the evening without having to walk from window to window.
Valley Blinds offers a variety of motorized window treatment options, including Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation.
3. Plantation Shutters for a Timeless Look
Looking for something that adds architectural character to your home?
Custom shutters provide excellent privacy and light control while creating a beautiful, built-in appearance. Their timeless design works with everything from traditional homes to more modern interiors.
Because shutters are custom-made for each opening, they can also be an excellent solution for uniquely shaped windows.
4. Layered Window Treatments for a Cozy Fall Look
Fall is all about warmth and texture.
Pairing shades with custom draperies can create a more finished, comfortable look while giving you additional flexibility with privacy and light control.
With hundreds of fabric, color, texture, and pattern options available, custom drapery can be designed specifically around your home's existing décor.
5. Don't Forget About Privacy
As daylight hours become shorter, homeowners often notice privacy concerns they didn't think about during the summer.
Once the lights are on inside and it's dark outdoors, uncovered windows can make the interior of your home much more visible.
Roller shades, cellular shades, woven woods, shutters, and other custom window treatments can provide the privacy you need while still allowing you to choose how much natural light enters your home during the day.
