Best Window Treatments for Homes in Wake Forest: Styles & Trends

Wake Forest homes blend Southern charm with modern sensibility—and the right window treatments can tie it all together. Whether you’re designing a new build in Heritage or updating a historic home near downtown, your windows deserve more than off-the-shelf solutions.

Here are the top styles and trends we’re seeing in Wake Forest homes right now.

1. Natural Textures and Woven Wood Shades

Woven wood shades made from bamboo, grasses, or reeds are perfect for homeowners who want:

• Soft, organic style
• Light filtering with privacy
• A warm contrast to white walls or natural floors

They pair well with neutral color palettes and coastal or farmhouse decor.

2. Motorized Roller Shades

With more smart homes in Wake Forest, motorized shades are a top trend. Homeowners love:

• Controlling shades with a remote or phone
• Scheduling opens and closes
• Clean, minimal design with no cords

Ideal for tall windows or media rooms.

3. Layered Treatments (Sheers + Drapes)

Layering gives you flexibility and depth. We often install:

• Sheer panels for daylight and softness
• Blackout drapes for bedrooms or nurseries

This layered look works beautifully in larger rooms or those with dramatic ceiling height.

4. Interior Shutters

Shutters remain popular for their:

• Classic Southern style
• Superior light and airflow control
• High resale appeal

We offer wood and composite options that fit Wake Forest’s humidity and seasonal temperature shifts.

5. Custom Roman Shades

Roman shades add:

• Fabric softness with tailored structure
• Bold patterns or prints for personality
• Flexibility with light filtering or blackout lining

Great for kitchens, guest rooms, and breakfast nooks.
