How To Choose Bedroom Window Treatments
Your bedroom window treatments are the unsung heroes of a good night’s sleep (and a stylish space). And they have a lot to do: privacy, light control, a cozy atmosphere, and, of course, a touch of style. But can one window treatment really do it all? Let's face it, that's a tall order! And the choice can feel overwhelming when there are dozens of interior shutters or window blinds or shades options. So, let's cut through the clutter and figure out what your bedroom really needs. We'll explore the strengths of each option so you can find the perfect fit. And remember, your local window treatment expert/installer is always available to guide you to the perfect solution.
When You Need More Privacy Control
You don’t want the neighbors or outsiders to get a clear view of your bedroom, so you should use treatments designed for privacy. Select options with proper opacity levels so people on the street can’t glimpse your interior. Permanent window treatments like interior shutters and wood or faux wood window blinds are best. Wider window shades may achieve this goal, as well.
You also need a window treatment design that removes gaps that people can glance through. Interior shutters fasten within a frame that entirely encloses your window. If you secure them all the way, no one will be able to see inside. When opting for window blinds, you may ask for hold-down brackets to stop them from moving and privacy slats that don’t have ladder holes. Make sure you have your bedroom window treatments custom-fitted for your windows to remove awkward spaces.
When You Want Better Light Control
You won’t get a good sleep with outside lights beaming into your room. Search for high opacity window treatments that obstruct light when secured. Plantation shutters do this best. Light can’t penetrate their sturdy construction. Secure their panels and tilting louvers, and you’ll detect a barely noticeable glow during daylight hours. They make wonderful window treatments in your newborn’s room, as they also muffle noise and don’t have dangerous cords.
When Energy Efficiency Is Your Priority
Most people have a favored room temp for going to sleep. The right bedroom window treatments in your home may help you keep a steady temp throughout the night. You can even save on utility costs!
Polywood® shutters enjoy the greatest efficiency rating for all window treatments. When shut, they block up to 30 degrees of temperature transfer and reduce up to 45% of airflow. They’ll help maintain a cozy bedroom in winter months and a cool one in summer.
If window shades are more your style, you don’t need to give up energy efficiency entirely. Cellular shades have a unique design that holds air within their built-in pockets, blocking it from impacting your bedroom’s temperature much. They also are available in numerous colors and styles if you prefer something colorful for your bedroom.
But Don't Sacrifice Style with Bedroom Window Treatments
You have a right to wake up to an appealing room every day, so be sure to select window treatments that look good. Bedroom window treatments can be ordered in various styles and colors to blend with your interior. For the warmth of wood, pick Ovation® wood louvered shutters, wood blinds, or woven wood shades. To get a more contemporary look, you should consider adaptable white Polywood shutters. And, don’t forget, fabric shades are available in a rainbow of patterns and colors.
