Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Update Your Window Treatments
January is a natural reset. After the busyness of the holidays, homeowners often look for ways to simplify, declutter, and refresh. New winter window coverings do more than update your aesthetic — they also improve energy efficiency, enhance privacy, and integrate beautifully with modern smart home systems.
Plus, many manufacturers offer post-holiday promotions, making this a smart time to buy. Whether you want light-filtering beauty or room-darkening performance, we’ve got the perfect solution.
1. Embrace Simplicity with Roller Shades
If you’re craving clean lines and less visual clutter, roller shades offer a sleek, minimal look that works in any room. Available in a wide range of fabrics, textures, and opacities, they give you full control over style and light.
Many of our clients in Gulfport and Ocean Springs love how roller shades blend seamlessly into modern or coastal interiors. They’re also a smart choice in kitchens and bathrooms where ease of cleaning is a must.
2. Add Natural Texture with Natural Woven Shades
Still loving the cozy, layered look from the holidays? Keep the warmth going into the new year with natural woven shades. Made from bamboo, jute, and grasses, these shades bring texture, earthiness, and organic style to any space.
They pair beautifully with soft drapery panels and are available with light-filtering or blackout liners. Learn more about their seasonal versatility in our holiday window coverings article.
3. Go Bold with Dual Shades
If you want a modern statement that still offers flexibility, dual shades (also known as zebra shades) are the perfect blend of form and function. With alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabric, you can adjust them for filtered light or complete privacy in seconds.
They’re ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and home offices, and they offer a streamlined look that complements your existing furniture and wall colors.
4. Stay Cozy with Cellular Shades
Even in South Mississippi, winter can bring chilly mornings. Cellular shades are one of the most energy-efficient festive window treatments on the market, thanks to their insulating honeycomb design.
Perfect for bedrooms and family rooms, they help regulate indoor temperatures while softening natural light. Ask us about cordless and top-down/bottom-up lift options — both are great for safety and style!
5. Start Fresh with Sheer Shades
If your resolution is to let more light into your life (literally and figuratively), sheer shades are a beautiful way to brighten your space. These elegant treatments filter sunlight gently while maintaining your view to the outside.
Combine them with blackout side panels in bedrooms or media rooms for a layered look that’s both functional and fabulous.
6. Add Lasting Value with Interior Shutters
Looking for something timeless? Plantation shutters are a favorite across Biloxi, Hattiesburg, and beyond. They add real value to your home, are easy to clean, and fit virtually any window — including arches, bay windows, and sliding glass doors.
Choose from hardwood or composite materials in custom stains and painted finishes to match your décor. They’re also an elegant follow-up to your holiday window decor — proving that great design never goes out of season.
7. Go Smart with Motorized Window Treatments
New year, new tech! Motorized shades and blinds are one of the most popular upgrades we install — and for good reason. With the touch of a button or a simple voice command, you can adjust light and privacy on demand.
Compatible with Alexa, Google, and Apple HomeKit, our motorized solutions are available in almost every style, from roller and sheer shades to zebra and cellular options. We even have battery-powered systems that don’t require hardwiring.
8. Enhance Curb Appeal with Exterior Shades
Don’t forget the outside! Exterior shades from Insolroll help create stylish, shaded spaces for your porch, patio, or sunroom — perfect for early spring entertaining or just enjoying your morning coffee.
These shades block glare and UV rays, reduce heat, and add privacy — all while keeping your outdoor views intact.
