Breathe Easy This Season: Summer Drapery Ideas to Refresh Your Home

Summer is here and with it comes longer days, warmer nights, and the perfect opportunity to refresh your space. One of the easiest ways to transform the feel of a room? Drapery. At Bella Casa Design Centre, we believe your windows deserve just as much attention as your furniture, especially during the bright and breezy summer months.

Why Switch to Summer Drapery?

Heavy, insulating curtains may have kept your home cozy during winter, but summer calls for something lighter. The right drapes can:

• Let in that beautiful natural light while reducing glare
• Help maintain a cooler indoor temperature
• Add a fresh, seasonal touch to your décor

Whether you’re looking for a beachy linen look, sheer panels that catch the breeze, or blackout options for sunny bedrooms, we’ve got the perfect summer-ready styles.

 

Our Top Picks for Summer Drapes

Linen & Cotton Blends

Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are breathable, light-filtering, and bring an organic feel to your home. Go for soft neutrals like ivory, sand, or sage to keep things airy and grounded.

Sheer Panels

Sheers are perfect for creating that dreamy, sunlit effect. Layer them over blinds or pair with heavier panels if you want flexibility between privacy and light.

Bold Prints & Bright Colors

Summer is a great time to play with color. Think coastal blues, citrus tones, or botanical prints to bring a vibrant, vacation-like vibe into any room.

Blackout Drapes for Restful Sleep

The sun sets later in summer which can be a blessing or a curse! Our summer-weight blackout drapes block the light while still looking fresh and stylish.

Our Top Picks for Summer Blinds

Wood & Faux Wood Blinds

For a clean, tailored look, wood blinds are a timeless summer favorite. Faux wood options give the same charm with added moisture resistance — perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.

Light-Filtering Cellular Shades

Also known as honeycomb shades, these help to insulate your windows while softly diffusing sunlight. They’re energy-efficient, modern, and great for beating the summer heat.

Woven Wood Shades

Add a natural, earthy vibe with woven wood or bamboo shades. These pair beautifully with drapery and bring a relaxed, coastal feel to your space.

Solar Shades

Love your view but not the glare? Solar shades block UV rays without sacrificing visibility perfect for sunny living rooms and home offices.

 

Summer Drapery Tips

• Layer Smartly: Combine sheers with heavier panels for flexibility throughout the day.
• Go High and Wide: Mount your curtain rod closer to the ceiling and wider than the window to make the room feel larger and more open.
• Match the Mood: Choose colors and textures that match the room’s summer mood, think calm, relaxed, and inviting.
