Window Treatments in Post Falls

Post Falls is one of the fastest-growing cities in Idaho, and it shows. New subdivisions are going up throughout the city, bringing modern architecture, open floor plans, and large windows that need thoughtful treatment. But Post Falls isn't just new construction — established neighborhoods have their own character and their own window treatment needs. As a Post Falls-based business ourselves, Luxe Window Works is your true local expert.

Our home's living room and bedrooms, are beautiful based what we needed. Thanks to Mark Abplanalp's expertise! 😀👍🏻

Mark analyzed what we wanted and needed. Then, Mark recommended best options, models, configurations, controls, and functions. Thus, in the living room, we have good privacy, good views (with the shades closed), as it protects against ultra bright sunlight. The shades in the bedrooms were different, simpler and they all turned out nicely.

We couldn't have done this without Mark's expertise! He gave us so much more options that were so much better. Thank you very much, Mark! 👏🏻😀

We recently had Mark at Luxe Window Works provide the window coverings for our entire new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!

After initially trying another local company and being disappointed with their communication and scheduling, a friend recommended Mark. The difference was immediate. He responded right away, communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process, and quickly came out to measure our windows. He brought plenty of samples, patiently answered our questions, and helped us determine the best options for our home.

Mark is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. Having worked with other window covering companies in the past, we can confidently say he is top-notch.

We’ve already recommended Luxe Window Works to friends and will happily continue to do so.

Highly recommend!

Local Housing

Post Falls has experienced a building boom, meaning a significant portion of homes feature modern construction with open floor plans, large picture windows, and contemporary design. There's also a healthy mix of established ranch-style homes from the 1990s and 2000s, townhomes, and multi-family properties. New builds often have specialty window shapes — arches, angles, and floor-to-ceiling glass — that require precise custom measurement.

Climate & Light Considerations

Post Falls sits in the Spokane River corridor and tends to experience the full force of Northern Idaho's temperature extremes — single digits in winter, 90s in summer. Without the moderating effect of the lake that Coeur d'Alene enjoys, energy-efficient window treatments like cellular shades are especially valuable here. South and west-facing windows in newer homes with larger glass areas can generate significant heat gain in summer, making solar shades or quality roller shades a smart investment.

Local Insight

“Post Falls is our home base, so I know these neighborhoods street by street. The new construction boom here has been remarkable — and it's created a very specific set of challenges. Builder-grade windows are larger than they used to be, open floor plans mean you're often treating a wall of glass rather than individual windows, and specialty shapes like arched transoms are everywhere in the newer subdivisions. The other thing I see constantly in Post Falls new builds: buyers move in and realize they have zero privacy and zero light control because the builder doesn't include window treatments. Getting in early — ideally before you're fully moved in — makes the job easier and the result cleaner. Post Falls also hits temperature extremes harder than CDA without the lake to moderate things, so cellular shades are almost always part of the conversation.”

Common Questions About Window Treatments in Post Falls

When is the best time to order window treatments for a new construction home in Post Falls?

The best time is before you move in, if possible. Once furniture is in place, installation gets harder — especially on large windows or specialty shapes. Ideally, schedule a consultation shortly after you close or get your move-in date. That gives enough time to measure, order, and have treatments installed before or during the first week you're in the home. Custom orders typically take 3–4 weeks; plantation shutters and custom drapes run 6–8 weeks. If you're already moved in, no problem — it just takes a bit more coordination on install day.

My new Post Falls home has an arched transom window above the front door — can you treat that?

Yes. Arched and specialty-shaped windows are common in Post Falls new construction, and they're very treatable. The options depend on the shape and size: some arches work well with a fabric shade that follows the curve, others are better left untreated to let in light while the lower rectangular section gets a shade or shutter. For arched windows that need light control or privacy, we can fit a custom shutter with an arched top panel. During the consultation I'll assess each specialty window and give you honest options — including when leaving it bare is actually the right call.

Are cellular shades worth it in a newer Post Falls home that's already well-insulated?

Yes, and here's why: Post Falls hits temperature extremes harder than Coeur d'Alene because there's no lake to moderate the climate. Even in a well-insulated new build, glass is always the weakest thermal link — and windows can account for 25–30% of heating and cooling loss. Cellular shades add a meaningful insulating layer at the glass itself, which complements your wall and attic insulation rather than replacing it. In a home with a lot of south or west-facing glass — which is common in Post Falls new construction — the energy impact is especially noticeable in summer.

How do I get window treatments that match the style of my new Post Falls home without it looking builder-basic?

The biggest upgrade from builder-basic is custom sizing and layering. Off-the-shelf treatments are cut to standard sizes and rarely fit new construction windows cleanly — you'll see light gaps, awkward proportions, or treatments that just look like they don't belong. Custom-measured treatments fill the opening precisely, which immediately looks more intentional and finished. Beyond fit, layering a sheer roller shade with blackout or pairing a solar shade with side panels gives the room depth that a single product can't. During the consultation I bring samples and we look at the whole room, not just the window.

Products Available in Post Falls

Post Falls homes usually start with cellular shades, because the temperature swings here are sharper without the lake to moderate them. Motorized shades follow close behind — new construction favors tall windows and wide spans that are awkward to reach. Plantation shutters and roman shades round out most whole-home projects.
