Looking to take your holiday décor to the next level? After you’ve hung the garland and fluffed the Christmas tree, it’s time to turn your attention to the unsung hero of seasonal design—your winter window coverings. At Made in the Shade North OKC, we believe the right window treatments can do more than just dress up a room—they can make your entire home feel festive, cozy, and guest-ready from the inside out.
If you haven’t read our Holiday Window Treatment Style Guide, it’s the perfect place to start. In this article, we’ll go deeper with styling tips, smart winter upgrades, and ways to make your holiday window solutions shine all holiday season long.
Why Your Windows Deserve Seasonal Attention
In the colder months, your windows are key areas for light control, temperature regulation, and festive style. Proper window coverings can:
- Keep your home warm and energy-efficient
- Enhance your interior holiday décor
- Add privacy during evening gatherings
- Control natural light for a cozy atmosphere
Whether you’re in Edmond, North OKC, or Piedmont, seasonal window updates can completely transform your space—and we’re here to help you do just that with free design consultations, expert installation, and custom options to match any aesthetic.
Top Festive Window Treatments for Winter Elegance
1. Cellular Shades for Insulation
Winter chill getting through your glass? Cellular shades (also known as honeycomb shades) are one of the best choices for insulating your home while keeping it stylish. Their air-trapping design reduces heat loss, making your rooms more comfortable and energy-efficient.
Choose cordless or motorized options for a sleek, child-safe design you can control with a tap or voice command.
2. Layered Drapery Panels for Drama
Add visual warmth and texture with custom drapery panels. We recommend velvet, linen blends, or woven textures in rich pop of colors like cranberry, pine, or deep navy. Layering drapes over blinds or sheer shades gives your windows a full, designer look that also helps block drafts.
This look pairs beautifully with the suggestions in our related article on festive holiday window treatments.
3. Plantation Shutters for Timeless Style
Shutters are the ultimate blend of function and form. Their clean lines and tailored look work with any Christmas window décor ideas—from farmhouse to traditional to modern minimalist. They’re also excellent at controlling sunlight and adding a crisp backdrop for wreaths or garland.
For added visual interest, consider pairing Norman® Shutters with a decorative valance or festive top treatment.
4. Zebra Shades for Light Control
If you’re hosting guests this winter, zebra shades (also called dual shades) let you quickly adjust between filtered light and full privacy. With their alternating sheer and solid bands, they add a modern look while offering great functionality for open-concept living areas or front-facing windows.
5. Decorative Grilles for Festive Flair
Make your entryway or arched windows a true showpiece with Tableaux® Decorative Grilles. These faux iron or wood overlays instantly elevate any window and are especially stunning when layered with holiday greenery or lights. They’re a standout feature in our holiday window guide.

Window Treatment Care During Winter
Winter can be tough on your interiors, especially around windows. Here are a few quick tips to keep your window treatments looking their best:
