Style & Function: Living Room Window Treatments

Welcoming, versatile, and comfy are words that should describe your living room. It’s a great centerpiece of the home where people gather. On Mondays, it can a place to play a board game with the family, and by Friday, it’s a movie theater for the neighborhood kids. The environment should be able to change along with the functionality. We know living room window treatments have a huge impact on the overall atmosphere. Ready for some tips?

Function Focused

Do you know your space? It’s crucial to understand what it will need before browsing ideas. We put together a few questions to narrow down your search. They will help understand the solutions needed all while creating a beautiful atmosphere.

  • Is more privacy needed?
  • Does the space get direct sunlight?
  • Are you able to reach the windows?
  • Does the room feature both doors and windows?

Cater to the Whole Room

Because every member of your family uses the room differently, the living room window treatments need to be ever-changing. They need to function for different times of the day and activities. Sheer fabrics do just that. They diffuse incoming light, resulting in a soft, natural glow.

The top down feature accommodates every area of your living room. The natural light pours across the ceiling and lights up the room. The direct light won’t directly shine into your family’s eyes.

Set the Scenery

Invite that breathtaking outside view where it belongs, inside. We discussed how to make the light work for you, but what about the scenery? Don’t sacrifice stunning backdrops. We have living room window treatments that will allow the outside to be viewed, but then close them up for privacy. Room darkening? No problem with layers of treatments.

Create Versatility

A lot of boxes need to be checked when designing a living room space. It’s helpful to know what activities will be happening the most. But, if you’d like levels of control it’s worth considering dual shades.

Two shades at one window offer a huge range of functional benefits. Lower the secondary blackout shade to block light at the window’s top, but still enjoy the bottom view. Close the blackout shade for total privacy. There are so many possibilities!

Coordinate Doors & Windows

Having both doors and windows in the same space is easier than ever to coordinate. First option, use the same living room window coverings to match the doors.

The second option is to have similar coverings that complement, but aren’t duplicates. Many fabrics are seen across multiple collections so it would be a breeze to find a worthy pair.

Effortless Ease

Motorized blinds should be at the top of everyone’s “Must Haves.” They are one of the best things to happen to the modern window covering design movement. Sit back and relax as a simple tap or voice command sets you up for your own personal oasis. Forget about those hard to reach windows, they don’t stand a chance. The right environment achieved by the right living room window treatments is right at your fingertips.
