Your window coverings provide one of the most influential design elements for your home. In fact, they are practically in charge of the overall look and feel. Unfortunately, though, many homeowners overlook this vital addition due to becoming distracted by other design decisions, such as wall color, furniture options, and wall hangings. Plus, decorating the home does take an extensive amount of time, finances, and cleverness—which can be exhausting!

It’s easy to overlook your windows. But, you shouldn’t.

Window coverings are important not only for your home’s decorative scheme, but also for privacy, light control, and insulation. To decide which works best for your space, you should first consider the function in each room. For example, the media room is meant for movies and games, right? So, you’ll want window coverings that can provide a black-out. In contrast, your kitchen and living room require a lot of natural light—you simply want to protect the indoors from the harsh afternoon rays.

Let’s go over this short list of window treatment in Springfield, PA options the professionals here at Blinds & Drapery Showroom have created to help guide you in choosing the right “sun-blocking” and stylish options!

Shutters
Interior shutters are great for reducing light and creating privacy. They attach to the inside of your windows and allow you to control the amount of light coming in. Right now, the most popular option is the Plantation Shutter style. Differing slightly from Cottage-style shutter (very popular here on the East Coast), they have wider louvers and are often recessed inside the window frame.
Cellular shades
This style shade is EXCELLENT for thermal support. Their honeycomb cells trap air to act as a buffer between your inside conditioned are and the outside fluctuations. This is a perfect choice for a bedroom because there are options to completely block the light or allow light in (through a lighter mesh material).
Roller shades
This option is great for those looking to filter light out without completely blocking the view to the outdoors. Options are greatly ranged in color and in opaqueness. Again, this style (like cellular shades) is a good choice for bedrooms can be used for blackout purposed—but you’d have to double them up.

Any one of these window covering choices can be dressed up with custom drapes or curtains and/or a valence. In fact, homeowners double-up on options all the time. Drapes and curtains add texture, as well as additional light control!
