Covering Living Room Windows
Every room in the house serves different purposes, and therefore, each room’s window treatments have different requirements. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, we can help you determine the needs of each room, such as a living room, and which treatments would work best to serve those needs. Read on for more information and ideas!
Determine the Room’s Requirements
A living room/family room is frequently the main gathering space of a home—a family might hang out there to watch a movie or play games or entertain friends. Depending on how you use the room, you might focus on products for privacy or view-through, UV protection, or great stylistic fashion. If the room faces south or west, you might have lots of direct natural light, so light control and insulation might be your focus.
Honeycomb/Cellular Shades
The cellular design of honeycomb shades makes them energy-efficient: they trap air in their pockets and provide insulation at the window. Plus, they’re great with light and privacy control. You can select from a wide array of textures and colors as well as top-down/bottom-up operation. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are a popular line, and they offer numerous options.
Wood Shutters or Blinds
These products bring a touch of sophistication to the room and might even help increase the home’s value. Wood shutters and blinds are great at privacy and light control, and they offer some view-through even when the slats are tilted. Finally, wood shutters and blinds are durable, long-lasting, and fairly easy to maintain. Hunter Douglas offers lines such as Heritance® Hardwood Shutters or Parkland® Wood Blinds.
Designer Screen Shades
These products are great for windows that get lots of sun because they can block up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays. Depending on the weave (openness factor), you can maintain some view-through with designer screen shades.
Vertical Orientation
If your windows are large or if your living room includes a slider, you might need to find treatments with vertical orientation. Consider Luminette® Privacy Sheers or Skyline® Gliding Window Panels, which can bring a modern look and contemporary lines.
