I'd like to install solar screens on some of the windows, but not all of them. How will this look?

Many people often ask about the appearance of a home when some windows are left uncovered while using solar screens. Specifically, they wonder what it will look like if not all front windows are covered.

What will the front of the home look like if you leave some windows uncovered? If you install solar screens on some of the windows but not all.

For an illustrative example, here are some pictures of homes where the homeowner chose to put solar screens on some of their front windows but not all.

You tell me, how does this look?

1. This doesn't seem too bad. The dormer windows are isolated, and the window above the front door appears fine due to the glass in the door, which ties everything together. The three solar screens on the right look okay because they are all positioned together by themselves.

2. In my opinion, the front of this home isn't very appealing. Covering the three windows with solar screens above the front door and the one above the garage wouldn't have been expensive. I believe the front would look much nicer if those windows were shaded with my solar window screens.

3. The homeowner left the arched windows uncovered, which seems odd to me. They did this because those windows do not lead into the home. I would have covered them with solar window screens to give the front a cleaner and more uniform appearance.

This unfinished appearance doesn't appeal to me. We all have different perspectives. While many might find this look acceptable, it’s just not for me. I prefer uniformity with my solar window shade screen installations, especially when there are so many windows involved.

In contrast, what does it look like to have all the windows covered for the front of the home?

Notice the consistent look of the front in this picture?

The homeowner installed window sun shades on all their front windows, including the non-opening transom windows to the sides and above the front door.

The front of this home looks uniform.

1. Every window at the front of this house was shaded, even the three non-opening ones that do not connect to the interior.

2. All of these front windows were covered except for the circular window up high.

3. See how great this looks. Every front window has an outdoor solar shade over it.

How about when it comes to a patio, is it best to cover all the patio openings as well?
