Get Cozy with Living Room Window Treatments

Your living room should feel inviting, cozy, and versatile. After all, it’s the main gathering place for family and friends any day of the week. It can house a competitive game of Monopoly, host a scary movie marathon, or catch up with your college roommates over a charcuterie board. The atmosphere and function should be able to adapt, while still being surrounded by your personal style. Living room window treatments can play a big part.

First, Function

It is crucial to understand your space. In order to identify what you’ll need out of your living room window treatments, we have a few questions to consider. Keep them in the back of your mind when browsing options to pick the best product that solves your issues. Furthermore, creating a beautiful atmosphere.

  • Do you need more privacy for this room?
  • Is there direct sunlight?
  • Can you reach the windows?
  • Are there windows and doors in the room?

Think of the Whole Room

Everyone in your family will use the living room for a different reason and time. It needs to function as an ever-changing area that can easily be transformed. Sheer fabrics are a great way to diffuse the light and eliminate harsh sun rays. This will result in a very natural and soft light atmosphere everyone will enjoy.

Another feature that is great for living room window treatments is top down. Natural light can cascade across the ceiling, providing light, but never into your eyes.

Views Worth Viewing

Many homes feature amazing large windows to enjoy the outside view. They need window coverings that will still let them enjoy it, but not be just covered up! We have solutions that will allow for outside viewing, and then be closed for room darkening and privacy.

Well Rounded Space

Of course, with a living room, we understand there are a lot of things to consider. To try to narrow down what is the most important to your family, think about what activities are enjoyed in that space. Knowing how you’ll be enjoying it the most will help select the right living room window treatments. However, if you’d like levels of light control from view-through to black out, consider dual shades.

The double shades open a wider range of benefits. Soften the light while still enjoying the outside view. Once the secondary black out shade is lowered, it will block direct light at the top of the window. The view will still be able to be seen on the bottom. Once the black out shade is closed entirely, complete privacy is reached. It just got a whole lot easier to create the ideal atmosphere.

Harmonize Doors & Windows

It is common in open floor plans to have both doors and windows in your space. Homeowners often ask what living room window treatments will best match each other for their home. Realistically you have two options. The first is to match the window coverings on the windows and doors.

The second option is to coordinate them together. Meaning, they don’t have to match exactly, but are complementary colors or textures. Certain collections use the same fabrics. Therefore, they will easily coordinate.

Simply Flawless Atmosphere

Modern window covering design brought automated movement. Why? Because motorized blinds are an absolute game changer. They can be set for your agenda and lifestyle, not the other way around. Additionally, those hard to reach areas? Well, they’re a thing of the past because with one click or voice command, they do the work for you. The ideal atmosphere is one tap away.
