Have you ever walked into a room without anything covering the windows? The room looks open and has plenty of natural light…but it also can make the room look bland and bare.
Part of making a house a home is adding your own style to it, while still considering the functionality of the home. Window treatments are a part of this. Whether you choose blinds, shutters or shades, the right window treatments can help set each room apart.
-Set the proper mood.
Each room has a different purpose and so you’ll want to set different moods. Your living room – you may want a cozy feel, while still letting in some soft, natural light. But your bedroom, you may want to have privacy and no light seeping in when you’re trying to get some sleep.
So, we would recommend a multi-purpose shade or shutters for the living room, but then room darkening shades for the bedroom. Since everyone has a different sleep schedule, here’s a great article on choosing the right window treatments for your bedroom.
Plus, do you enjoy a little sunshine in the morning as you sit in your pajamas and sip your coffee? The right window treatment will allow you to have a relaxing morning, while enjoying your privacy!

Whether you choose blinds, shutters or shades, you can choose from a vast selection of colors and stains. You want to pick something that will go with your window trim but also your room’s decor.
-Control sun exposure.
This isn’t just about controlling the glare on your computer as you’re working in your office. It’s about limiting the sun’s rays to help protect your belongings. Direct sunlight on rugs and furniture has a lasting effect.
