Owning a mountain home is all about enjoying the views, the natural light, and the slower pace that comes with escaping to Colorado’s high country. Whether it’s a weekend retreat in Breckenridge, a family home in Evergreen, or a vacation property in Vail or Steamboat Springs, your window treatments should enhance the experience, not compete with it.
Custom Roman shades offer flexible light control and privacy while complementing the character of a mountain home.
Mountain homes have unique design and functional needs, and custom window treatments are one of the best investments you can make to protect your home while making it more comfortable year-round.
Every Mountain Home Has Different Needs
Unlike homes along the Front Range, mountain properties often feature expansive windows, vaulted ceilings, and dramatic architecture designed to capture incredible views. While those windows are beautiful, they also bring unique challenges.
At higher elevations, UV rays are stronger and can quickly fade hardwood floors, furniture, artwork, and fabrics. Large windows can also create glare, reduce privacy after dark, and make temperature control more difficult throughout the seasons.
The right window treatments help you enjoy the scenery while managing light, privacy, and energy efficiency.
Thoughtfully designed drapery in this Steamboat Springs chalet helps to soften expansive windows, manage sunlight, and provide privacy without taking away from the beauty of the space.
Designed for Views, Not to Hide Them
One of the biggest misconceptions is that window treatments cover up the reason you bought a mountain home in the first place — the view.
Custom shades and drapery are designed to frame your windows and disappear when you want to enjoy the landscape. Whether it’s a wall of glass overlooking the mountains or oversized windows in a great room, today’s solutions allow you to block harsh sunlight without sacrificing what makes your home special.
Automated shades and draperies are especially popular for mountain homes, making it easy to control hard-to-reach windows with the touch of a button or a scheduled routine.
Perfect for Second Homes
Many mountain properties aren’t occupied year-round, making convenience an important consideration.
Motorized window treatments can be programmed to open and close automatically, helping protect interiors from prolonged sun exposure while giving your home a lived-in appearance when you’re away. They’re also an excellent fit for smart home systems commonly found in luxury vacation properties.
Automated shades make it easy to manage natural light and privacy throughout the day, whether you’re at home or away.
