Treating Windows in a Vacation Home
Having a second home can be a great joy—it offers a place to relax, a chance to get away from it all. It also means a second place to outfit. Including getting the right window fashions. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County and the entire Bay Area, we have some suggestions for how to approach window treatments for a vacation home. Check them out below, and be sure to speak with one of our consultants for advice on your particular situation.
Goals for the Home When Selecting New Shades
Your second home might be just for a quick weekend getaway or a relaxing weeklong vacation, or you might spend entire months there at a time. No matter how long you’re there, you’ll want to feel comfortable in the space. On top of that, if you offer your space for short-term rental, you have additional considerations regarding functionality and durability. And when it comes to your windows, you probably have goals like maintaining a view or ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep. No matter the circumstances, we have a treatment to meet your needs.
Window Treatment Functionality
In an ideal world, your vacation home has at least one window with a fabulous view that you’ll want to preserve. But you might still get direct sunlight through it. If this is the case, consider Silhouette® ClearView® Shadings, which are made with S-shaped vanes between view-through sheer fabric. These sheers will provide beautifully diffused light while giving you view-through, so you get light control while still enjoying your vacation home’s surroundings.
Aesthetics
Many vacation homes are designed with aesthetics in mind, and that means that the window fashions must coordinate with that look. For example, to complement rustic sophistication, consider Silhouette® Window Shadings for a layer of style, or for a minimalist look, think about Designer Roller Shades for their clean lines.
Get a Good Night’s Sleep With Room Darkening Shades
If you’re all about recuperating on vacation, you probably want to sleep restfully. To block as much light as possible, think about Duette® Cellular Shades. Made with honeycomb construction, these window fashions diffuse light during the day and help darken the room at night. Plus, for full light-blocking, you can add the optional LightLock® feature, which helps prevent light from entering through the gaps.
