Liners and Two-Layer Window Treatments

Winter is all about magic, and there's no better way to create your own than by adding a unique ingredient that makes your home even more functional than it already is. Hone in on this winter magic by adding a liner to your window treatment. 

What is a Window Treatment Liner?

Unlike most window treatments discussed in this blog, liners are not meant to stand independently. Liners are meant to pair with another window treatment, typically attempting to add layers of light control that your current blinds or shades might not offer. 

Lined with Benefits

We love liners for their vast array of benefits and their easy aesthetic. 

Function

Our window treatments provide tantamount privacy, energy efficiency, and light-blocking benefits, but sometimes you need a bit more help. The greatest use and primary function is to grant extra room-darkening, sound-dampening, or energy-saving benefits. 

Leave your primary window treatment open and use the liner on its own to enjoy customizable levels of light and privacy throughout the day. In the evening or on days when you need extra peace and quiet, use your liner in conjunction with your blackout curtains, roller blinds, or sheers to achieve all the privacy you desire (and more). 

Aesthetics

We know that aesthetics are just as important as functionality. Installing a liner does not include clunky equipment or cause awkward lumps in your window treatment. Because it is an additional component to your existing window treatment, your liner sits neatly within the casing of blinds, roller shades, sheers, or blackout curtains.

Each liner is available in an array of sizes and colors to ensure it blends in with your existing window design. Are you worried about its appearance from the exterior of your home? Ask for a duo-tone shade, which features a neutral white on the exterior-facing side of the shade.
