Drapes or shutters? Curtains or blinds… or both? How will you decide which Wynnewood, PA window treatments are best to beautify your home?
Take it from us here at Blinds & Drapery Showroom, your biggest priority in choosing the right window coverings for your home is to decide what you most want: light or privacy—or both. Take a glance at these tips from our professionals:
Semi-sheer window coverings
Common spaces like living rooms and dens (especially on upper levels) or large entryways are great spots to incorporate sheer curtains. These rooms do not necessarily require ultimate privacy—but they do benefit from optimum light. When your common living spaces are illuminated with natural light, your guests—and you—will feel more at ease and cheery. Perfect!
Tip: Select a thickness of fabric based on the amount of light you desire to have in your space. The thicker and darker the material, the less light can shine through.
Cellular shades for comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms
Here in Pennsylvania, it gets cold. Sure, it’s pleasant now… but the winter is coming. Many bathrooms and bedrooms—especially those on the first floor—require maximum privacy and comfort. Our shades can be customized to open top-down or bottom-up to provide you with privacy (from neighbors and passers-by).
Tip: Cellular shades are the top option for keeping the cold out, due to their honeycomb design.
Blackout curtains—health and well-being
Getting a baby to sleep in the middle of the day isn’t easy. Working night shift and sleeping during daylight hours can feel impossible. Sleeping disorders are on the rise. Life can be tough! These scenarios are all very stressful, yes; but manageable. Blackout curtains from Blinds & Drapery Showroom can help you get more restful sleep.
Tip: For total darkness—if needed—talk to our team about installing floor-to-ceiling curtains more than a foot past each side of the window to ensure light doesn’t creep in.
Shutters aren’t dead!
Interior shutters are beautiful touches to any home. They offer excellent light control and UV protection due to the rotation aspect of the slats.
Tip: Consider choosing a bright color for stand-out windows for an artsy flare. Or, to make your windows “disappear” into the room, have them painted to match your walls.
Layered window coverings
Total darkness is also necessary for TV or media rooms… Haven’t you always wanted to create that perfect “theater room?” You can. And you can do so with a lovely layered window covering combo! Consider blinds and curtains. Or shades and ceiling-high, decorative drapes.
Tip: Extra fabric and added layers help with the acoustics in your media/TV room!
