3 Room Transformations: The Power of Window Shades

The design elements of your home possess the power to create the atmosphere of your space. The window shades you choose are a perfect example of the room transformations that can occur from before to after. We’ve got three spaces for you to see the breathtaking change that happens when you go from bare windows to covered–and all the lifestyle benefits that go along with that change.

 

Living In a Fish Bowl

The first thing you’ll notice about bare windows is the flooding light. Natural light entering in any–or every–direction can wreak havoc on the comfort and temperature of your home. Second? That will be the lack of privacy. We call it the “fish bowl” effect, as if everyone on the outside has a view right into your home. While this is common with any bare windows, it’s especially unbearable with wall-to-wall windows.

Transformation #1

It’s like a whole different room, isn’t it? This condo is featuring the Hunter Douglas collection of Luminette Privacy Sheers, and ideal choice for covering large windows and doors. And, here’s why:

  • Filtered Light Invites Soft, Natural Light
  • Sheer Fabrics Filter Light and Block UV Rays
  • Interior “Vanes” Rotate from Complete View to Protected Privacy
  • Soft Folds Resemble Sheer Draperies

Looking to Escape?

What a gorgeous space…until the sun shines bright. Flooding light–from one direction or another–will surely chase you out of the room. And, if the relentless light and glare doesn’t chase you away, the heat certainly will. This–once relaxing space–becomes a dreaded area to everyone in your home, except your pets, (who probably love to bask in the sun’s rays.) And, while the room will look beautiful, that endless sunshine will fade your furnishings, flooring and artwork over time. Let’s fix that…

That’s better! Absolutely stunning, this space can now be the perfect area to relax or entertain. The right amount of light is easy with the light-filtering materials of these woven shades. Those hard-to-reach top windows are the ideal way to bring sunshine in across the ceiling, but how do you adjust them? With smart home automation, of course! By installing window shades, you get a comfortable home, a serene atmosphere and protection against harsh UV rays.

Stunning Views, Early Mornings

If you live in an area where privacy is not an issue, you could be tempted to keep your windows bare. Look at that view! It’s absolutely gorgeous. But, since this is a bedroom, you’re going to need levels of light control. Whether it’s sleeping in on Saturday morning, or lying in bed on Sunday afternoon for a marathon of your favorite show, being able to shut out the light is vital to your comfort.

Transformation #3

Are you ready for the last of our room transformations? This bedroom still features a beautiful view–accessible whenever you want it. But, you also have the option to “turn the light off” by closing the shades. You can have the benefit of filtered light, or choose room darkening fabrics for the ultimate control. When pairing vertical blinds with roller shades, the coordination of the fabrics is easy.
