Sound-Resistant Window Treatments for NYC Homes

At the end of a long day in bustling NYC, you want a haven where you can cozy up and recharge. That means your décor must reflect this mindset, and while creamy neutrals paired with a clutter-free space help craft this serene space, don’t underestimate the power of good window treatments.

Sound-resistant window treatments are an underappreciated and subtle way to boost privacy, filter light, and dampen ambient noise for an apartment that feels more inviting and more insulated from the streets below.

Here are a few of our favorites for marrying style and sound absorption.

Studio apartments are known for high ceilings and wide-open spaces, which means every piece of décor is valuable for cozying up the place. That’s why cellular shades are a must for turning these cold and empty studios into warm and inviting retreats. The interior cell-shaped construction not only adds some structure to your windows, but it also works to dampen ambient noise for an overall more secure feel. And anyone used to NYC living knows that even the tiniest bit of help in subduing echo is worth its weight in gold.

Honeycomb shades come in an array of patterns and fabric textures so that you don’t have to sacrifice your eye for design to get a little more utility out of your window treatments.

We love the flexibility and style of Roman shades. Crisp, structured, and voluminous, Roman shades are a fantastic way to give even the smallest of windows a little extra oomph. This style of window fashion offers several pleat styles so that you can customize how they hang inside your frame—great for coordinating uniquely shaped windows throughout your studio. Modern styles, like Vignette® Roman Shades, feature top-down/bottom-up operation so that you can perfectly position incoming natural light without sacrificing valuable privacy.

Sound-reducing window treatments aren’t just limited to shades. Custom drapes, side panels, and curtains can elevate your space while toning down the noise as well. Drapes are a designer favorite for layering. Well-positioned drapes make your windows feel larger and add a pop of interest to your space. They’re a staple in NYC apartments for a reason.

Sounds absorbing window treatments help you create a space that speaks to you while turning down the outside noise. For generations, we’ve been helping New Yorkers shape their spaces into a place to step back from the noise of the city through custom window treatments. Whether you know exactly what you’re after or need a little help bringing your vision board to life, our design team is ready to help you transform your apartment.
