When should you choose free-hanging window decorations?

Nov 20, 2025

Free-hanging window decoration is a stylish and practical solution for those looking for flexibility, comfort and a clean finish when dressing windows. This form of window decoration hangs loose in front of the window and is not placed in a frame. This makes free-hanging window decoration ideal for situations where you want optimal control over light and privacy. Whether you choose roller blinds, wooden Venetian blinds or pleated blinds, free-hanging window decoration offers a versatile and timeless look to suit any interior.

What exactly is free-hanging window decoration?

Free-hanging window decoration is mounted directly on or in the day. The fabric or blinds hang down freely and are easy to operate with a cord, electrically via bluetooth or even fully integrated into a smart home system. This makes it an ideal solution for small windows as well as tall or wide windows where operation is sometimes difficult.

Difference between free-hanging and tensioned window decoration

The difference between free-hanging and tensioned window decoration is mainly in the method of mounting. Framed window decoration is installed directly in the window frame. This eliminates the need for drilling and keeps the window decoration tight to the window, which is especially useful with plastic or aluminium frames and windows that open inwards. In contrast, free-hanging window decoration is fixed on the frame, in the day or against the ceiling and offers more choice in terms of operation, size and material types.

The big visible difference is that with framed pleated blinds, you don't see strings running at the top or bottom whereas you do with a free-hanging pleated blind.

For which windows is free-hanging window decoration suitable?

Free-hanging window decoration is particularly suitable for high or wide windows, but also for windows where you would like electrical operation. Because this window decoration is securely mounted, it is perfect for large surfaces and heavy fabrics. Moreover, free-hanging window decoration is excellent to combine with curtains. This provides extra atmosphere and a layered look, provided there is enough space at the window.
