How to Choose the Right Window Treatments

How to protect windows from prying eyes, the sun and weather conditions is one of the biggest dilemmas that homeowners have. Besides protective, windows coverings also have decorative function; quality curtains and drapes can greatly affect the overall appearance of your residential or business premises. How to choose the right window treatments depends on the room you are choosing them for. 

Bedroom

If you want to sleep well you should cover your bedroom windows properly. Curtains are the best choice for the bedroom.

When choosing the right curtain you should pay attention to its length, color and fabric that it is made of. The color of the curtains is very important and it must be in harmony with the color of the furniture and the bed sheets. Length is just as important as the color; slightly longer curtains will visually lengthen a window and point out the height of the room. Floor to ceiling curtains will make the room look more elegant and classical. When it comes to fabric, it is smart to choose a material that is easy to clean and to maintain, such as taffeta or satin.

Living room

If you want to give your living room a modern and upscale look, you should consider vertical blinds. Vertical blinds are an elegant solution. They are available in any color you can imagine, which is why they easily fit into any existing color scheme, without making the space kitschy or vulgar. They consist of a series of vertical strips of equal length that can, if necessary, gather or disseminate in order to let more or less light inside depending on whether you need light or you're in the mood for a romantic atmosphere or a nap in your living room.

Kitchen

Bearing in mind that the chances of spraying the kitchen curtains with water or something else, due to dish washing or cooking are great, it would be wise to avoid classical curtains. The best solution for kitchen windows is to install custom blinds and shades on them. Blinds and shades are made from a special type of plastic, wood or aluminum and for that reason they have a considerably longer life span, and their maintenance is very easy; the only thing you would need to keep them clean is a damp cloth to wipe them off occasionally. These features make them the right choice for any kitchen. If you wipe your blinds and shades regularly, they will last forever and they will make your kitchen look modern.

Kid's room

When choosing the right window coverings for a kid’s room, you have to consult your children. It is your responsibility to ensure that the window coverings are safe and practical and theirs to ensure that the coverings are in the right colors. The best solution would be to install wooden blinds on windows (which are your choice) and to hang thin, transparent and decorative curtains over them (kid's choice). By doing this you will kill two birds with one stone; blinds will enable the darkening of the room, when necessary and colorful curtains will give the room it’s cheerful look.
