Do Not Fix the Glare by Losing the View
A lot of great windows come with an annoying tradeoff. The glass gives you the daylight and openness you wanted, then the sun moves and suddenly the television is hard to see, the room is hot, or the window feels completely exposed after dark.
For a Gig Harbor home, I would start by figuring out when the window becomes a problem and what you still want to keep. If the view matters, that changes the conversation. If nighttime privacy is the bigger issue, that changes it again.
A solar or roller shade can be a good daytime answer because it can cut glare without turning the window into a wall. Woven and Roman shades bring more texture. Cellular shades can add privacy and another layer at the glass. Drapery is often the piece that gives a larger window softness or stronger coverage in the evening.
Sometimes one treatment really is enough. Sometimes the room is asking for two different jobs, like a more open shade during the day and drapery at night. I would rather layer two things for a reason than force one product to be mediocre at both.
Large windows also make operation important. If you have to walk around a sectional or reach over furniture every time the sun changes, you are eventually going to stop using the shade. Grouped motorization can make sense in that kind of room.
We also check the boring physical stuff before ordering. Handles, cranks, trim, ceiling height, wall space, and furniture can all affect where the treatment needs to mount and how much glass it covers when open.
The samples come to your Gig Harbor home so you can look through them at the actual view and see what they do to the room. That is a much better test than choosing from a sample book and hoping the full-size result feels the same.
