Living on the ground floor in a bustling area like Delray or Boca Raton presents a unique challenge: How do you let in the beautiful Florida sunlight without letting the whole neighborhood see into your living room?
Discover the top window treatment options for ground floor apartments and rooms with Capitol Carpet & Tile and Window Fashions.
Best Window Treatments for Ground-Floor Rooms
1. Top-Down / Bottom-Up Shades
This is the "gold standard" for first-floor living. You can lower the top of the shade to let in sunlight and see the sky, while keeping the bottom half closed for total privacy.
2. Plantation Shutters with Split Tilt
Our custom shutters allow you to tilt the top louvers open for light while keeping the bottom louvers closed. Plus, they add incredible "curb appeal" and resale value to your home.
3. Sheer Transitions (Zebra Shades)
These modern rollers feature alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabric. You can align them to let in filtered light or offset them for complete privacy with one quick pull.
4. Café Curtains
A classic "Farmhouse" solution—covering only the bottom half of the window. This is perfect for kitchens or breakfast nooks where you want a view of the garden but privacy from the sidewalk.
