What Are the Best Window Coverings for Large Windows in Seattle & Bellevue?

Written by Armi Avila. In Seattle, Bellevue, Mercer Island, and the Eastside, the best window treatments for large windows are motorized roller shades, cellular (honeycomb) shades, and sheer shades. These products can span wide or tall openings, control glare and heat, and are easier to operate than heavy drapery or awkward corded systems.

Why large windows need a different approach

Northwest modern homes and remodeled Eastside properties often feature floor-to-ceiling glass, corner windows, and expansive sliding doors. Standard off-the-shelf coverings rarely fit, and manual operation becomes impractical at scale. Custom sizing, top-down/bottom-up configurations, and motorization solve both the fit and daily-use problems.

Top recommendations

• Motorized roller shades — clean profile, excellent for wide spans and solar control
• Cellular / honeycomb shades — insulation plus light control for energy-conscious homes
• Sheer shadings — soften glare while preserving views of water, trees, or cityscapes
