Covering Family Room Windows
A family room (which some people call a living room) is frequently a gathering space in the home, and therefore, its windows need the right treatments. At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we can help you find the right covering for your living/family room window to make that space the gathering spot of your dreams. Read on to learn more!
What Does the Room Need?
Family rooms (or living rooms) might be where a family hangs out after dinner, watches a movie, or plays games. It also might be the spot for parties or intimate get-togethers with friends. Depending on how you use your family room, you might need UV ray protection, increased privacy, or aesthetically pleasing style. If your room faces west or south, it might get a lot of direct sunlight, so getting a treatment that controls light or that insulates could be important. Check out the suggestions below for options that can take care of these needs.
Honeycomb/Cellular Shades
Honeycomb shades are energy-efficient because they trap air in their pockets, providing insulation at the window while offering light and privacy control. You can find them in numerous textures and colors that can match or complement nearly any décor style. Plus, you can choose to add top-down/bottom-up operation, which allows you the best of all worlds by letting you open the product the regular bottom-up way, a top-down way, or both.
Designer Screen Shades
If your window gets lots of natural sunlight, consider designer screen shades, which can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays from damaging your interior and flooring. Depending on the weave, the designer screen shade offers some view-through, which can create an open feel in the room.
Blinds or Shutters
If you’re considering blinds or shutters, know that they can work very well for light and privacy control, and can even offer some view-through even when the slats are tilted. Wood blinds and shutters bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to a space and might even help increase the value of the home. Plus, they are durable and fairly easy to maintain. Look to lines such as Heritance® Hardwood Shutters or Parkland® Wood Blinds.
