Would you want to boost the look of your home? Most of the time, homeowners look into having walls torn down or painting an entire room but, at times, changing the look in your home is as easy as putting the right window treatments. Be inspired by beautiful drapes, valances, shades and curtains. Experiment also with other kinds of window treatments by learning about other terms such as Roman shades, balloon shade, box-pleat valance, and more.
Did you know that the kind of fabric used in a window treatment is just as crucial as the design of the treatment itself? Window treatments come in all sorts of materials from sheer, to bamboo panels, and silk. They also have different functions though, primarily, they are used to dress up the windows and provide a little (or a lot of) privacy.
Okay, now that you know the basics, your priority is to choose a window treatment that would provide the function that you require. Would you want to have some privacy but still have ample light during the day? Or would you want to have a decent shuteye and have the window treatments drawn while you take a rest?
Semi-Sheer Window Treatments
Family rooms and living rooms almost always require a good amount of privacy. The kind of window treatment that you use also hugely depends on the number of windows that a room has.
Natural light brightens a room during the day so you can make use of a semi-sheer curtain to allow the light into the room. Be sure to choose the thickness of the fabric well. Find one that allows light to pass. If semi-sheer still doesn’t work for you, then find an ultra-sheer one.
Draperies
A bedroom that is situated on the ground floor requires less privacy than the ones upstairs. Both types of bedroom require natural lighting, though. What you need to cover these rooms are draperies. This floor-to-ceiling window treatment offers ample privacy and enough shade if you don’t want the light streaming in.
‘Want some light again? Then just have the draperies drawn and – voila – you can enjoy the sunshine once more.
Use a track for floor-to-ceiling draperies or find a rod that suits the style of your bedroom.
Cellular Shades
A lot of bathrooms, especially the ones on the first floor, require utmost privacy. A cellular shade is a kind of shade that allows anyone to walk around unseen while still allowing a lot of light in. This kind of window treatment is manufactured with a honeycomb design so that heat stays in while the cold stays out.
Roller Shades
This kind of shade can give you the needed privacy from closely-situated neighbors. It is an easy-to-install type of window treatment that comes with perforation so that light is allowed to filter through.
Roller shades can also be hardwired so you can manipulate it using a remote control. This is most useful in hard to reach areas such as when you are in the tub.
Shutters
These are what you would want if you require a complete light block out. This is a window treatment that can blend seamlessly to the creative atmosphere that you have already set up. Have it installed with solid center panels so you can block out light. These will come in handy when your guests require total relaxation even after the sun comes up.
Stained Glass
Having a lot of windows around the front door can be an aesthetic blessing especially when you decide to install stained glass instead. This kind of window treatment will instantly become a focal point while keeping your home free from the prying eyes of passersby.
