When it comes to your windows, choosing the right covering is something that you’ll want to put some thought into.
Different window coverings achieve different things, both from an aesthetic point of view as well as a functional one. Some of the factors you’ll want to consider include how they mesh with your existing interior design, how much privacy you want and how much control over the sunlight you want.
The following are some of the different window covering options that you can choose from:
Curtains and Drapes
Stylistically, curtains and drapes tend to draw the eye and can help to make a room feel taller as well as more elegant. They’re a great option for privacy since you can completely block off the windows.
However, you’ll either be letting in all of the sunlight or none of it; there’s little variation in control available.
Blinds
Aesthetically, blinds don’t make much of a visual impact. However, they offer a lot of control over the light that comes in since you can roll up the blinds to let all the light in, close them to shut out the light, or open them at varying degrees to let some light in. While mini blinds are horizontal, vertical blinds may be a better option for larger windows.
Shutters
Shutters provide architectural value to the home due to their cleaner look. They also provide privacy and full-light control; however, they are permanent, which means you can never let full light in.
Shades
Shades are like vertical curtains or drapes in that they can either be rolled up or rolled down to completely block light or to let all light in. They’re effective if you need full privacy and offer a textured look to the interior.
