❓ FAQ: Holiday Window Shades
The best window shades for winter are cellular shades, shutters, and roman shades with thermal linings. Cellular shades are especially effective because their honeycomb structure traps air, reducing heat loss and improving insulation.
Start by considering your goals — light control, privacy, insulation, or style. For full darkness, choose blackout cellulars or roller shades. For natural light, try light-filtering woven woods or sheer shades. Renters may prefer no-drill options for easy installation.
