Window Treatment Options
Thinking about upgrading your window treatments this season? You may find that there’s quite a bit to choose from. Here’s a quick summary of the major window treatment styles and options available, to help you choose what is best for you.
Shades
Shades are often made of fabric and can be used for room darkening, insulation, privacy, or decor accents. They typically roll up and down. There is a wide selection of fabrics, styles, and options available. From standard designs to those that offer a custom look and feel, shades are available for many different budgets. Sheer shades are available if your goal is to allow in natural sunlight while maintaining some level of privacy.
Blinds
Unlike shades, blinds are made of harder materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. They can be rolled up/down or sideways. They can also be tilted to provide gaps in the coverage. Similar to shades, blinds can provide room darkening. Although standard options come in mostly solid colors, there is an option to customize blinds with fabric and incorporate them into your theme or decor. Custom blinds are available from manufacturers like Hunter Douglas.
Selection the Right Window Treatments Options
When trying to decide between shades and blinds, think about what your ultimate goals are. Would you like to block out light or let it in? Are you looking for a modern or traditional feel? Do you prefer texture or clean lines? Window treatments aren’t something that you can easily select based solely on online photos.
