Functional Two-Story Window Treatments

When addressing a two-story window, functionality is a factor for many. There are a few options to address very tall windows, but the most popular way is motorization. Drapery rods as well, and many window shades can operate with motorization. This will alleviate the need to climb two stories up to open and close your drapery panels. There are several motorization options, from simple remotes to window treatments that tie into your home automation system.

A less expensive option is also cord drawn traverse rods. This is very effective in curtains that are not very heavy. You simply pull a cord to open and close the curtains.
