When it comes to decorating, there are many options to choose from. Once your décor has been decided on, there’s one thing left to determine – the window treatments that will be used in the home or commercial business. When picking window shades, or drapes, there are thousands of choices and making a decision can be quite difficult.
Professional assistance is often recommended, as window treatment experts have tons of experience and knowledge about window décor and coverings. Many companies offer free consultations that allow you to get a professional opinion on the best treatment for your windows. However, this short guide on shades can help you narrow down your options and complete your home’s look.
Cellular Shades
If you’re looking for privacy, cellular shades are an excellent option. They’re great for bathrooms and other rooms on the first floor of a building, as they let in plenty of light without showing what goes on in the room. They use a honeycomb design that makes them impossible to see through and enhances their insulation, keeping the temperature regulated.
Semisheer Shades
One of the best treatments for common spaces in the home, like the living room, are semisheer window treatments. These don’t provide the room with much privacy, but they do bring in tons of light. The natural light that these shades let in brighten family rooms and keep you from needing additional lighting. You can choose fabrics with different thickness levels in order to control the amount of light let into the home, with thicker fabrics letting in less light.
Solar Shades
Solar shades can also be referred to as window sunglasses. They give you control over the amount of sunlight entering the home by filtering sunlight. You can adjust them to filter as much light as you want – the more light the shades are filtering, the darker they will become. Though they keep excessive light from coming into the home, you still get a great view of the outdoors. They’re also versatile and minimize the amount of heat getting trapped in the home, so your air conditioner won’t need to work as hard.
Panel Track Shades
Panel track shades are ideal for individuals that enjoy the function that vertical blinds provide but want a more attractive option. These shades use vertical panels covered in fabric that slide back and forth to cover and uncover the windows in your home. They provide privacy and allow you to have control over how much natural light enters your home. These shades are commonly placed on long windows, in dining rooms, and in living rooms.
With this information on the types of window shades available for your home or business, choosing the best window treatment for your windows is much simpler. If you’re still not sure of what to choose, speak with a professional that has experience in working with windows of all kinds. These experts can provide you with even more information about decorating your windows and making the home look beautiful inside and out.
