The entryway of your home is an important space and key to making a great first impression. When choosing entryway shades, the balance of style and function are both important factors. When done right, your shades will provide a finished look and welcoming vibe by controlling natural light AND maintaining a secure environment. We have ideas for the best window and door coverings available in the industry. Explore our product and upgrade the entryway of your home.
The Balance: Privacy + Light
Ideally, the combination of privacy and glowing natural light would offer a comfortable-or adjustable setting for your entryway. When choosing shades, we’ve found the top down feature to be a strong contender because of its access to both.
This is a great solution for covering sliders, its independent operation allows for two separate shades so you can customize the light, privacy and function of your home.
Levels of Light Filtering
If your entryway faces the sun and you struggle with harsh sunlight, you’ll need constant control. Sheer shades are a great option, they can provide different levels of light protection, from light filtering to light blocking.
A client favorite are the Silhouette sheer shades for their unique look. They cut the glare, adjusting from view-through sheer fabrics, to vanes that close off the view. Most sheers reflect the sun outward during the day to increase the energy efficiency of your home, as well as securing your privacy.
If you prefer an outdoor view and filtered light, Luminette Privacy Sheers are for you. Enjoy the view until you want to block the light, then simply rotate the vanes closed. These shades are a favorite choice for sliding doors and entryway windows.
Specialty Windows
Uniquely shaped windows can be tricky to cover due to size or accessibility. If the entryway of your home includes specialty windows try smart shades, this way you can make adjustments remotely.
Honeycomb shades offer the highest amount of features of any of our window shade collections. They can accommodate windows of any size and shape, provide energy efficiency, room darkening and motorization. Perfect for your entryway windows.
Treating Narrow Door Frames
The Duette Shades Collection is an exclusive. The TrackGlide option works perfectly with narrow doors and windows.

Don’t Forget Door Handles
As you browse the gallery of entryway shades and consider options that will work for you, remember the door handles and levers. The placement of hardware may affect the window covering products you choose. Luckily, many of our collections offer low-profile designs that will complete your home without a hassle, but beware, some windows are tricky. It’s best to consult a professional before you make a final decision.
