Follow along and you will be able to make the best choices for every area of your home, guaranteeing an elegant blend of style, privacy, and light control.

Why Room-Specific Window Coverings

Every room in a home has different needs, whether they be lighting, design, or privacy. Finding the right covering for each space requires you to understand the room’s needs and environment to deliver the results you’re looking for.

Living Room – Relaxation + Light

Living rooms are often the central hub of home life, whether you're entertaining guests or simply unwinding. That’s why your window coverings should enhance the ambiance while offering flexibility for both privacy and lighting. Sometimes you’ll want to let in as much natural light as possible, and other times, you’ll need more privacy or light control for a cozy gathering.

Best Living Room Options –

Sheer Shades or Drapes: Allow natural light to filter through while adding an ephemeral, elegant touch.
Layered Window Treatments: Pairing blinds with draperies offers both form and function.
Motorized Shades: Effortlessly control light and privacy with the touch of a button, allowing for maximum relaxation.

Bedrooms – Comfort + Privacy

Bedrooms are the most personal spaces in a home. They are sanctuaries where we rest, recover, and are safe. That means focusing on window coverings that prioritize privacy and promote rest.

Best Bedroom Options –

Blackout Shades: Block out sunlight entirely for uninterrupted rest, ideal for late sleepers, those who work the midnight shift, or children’s rooms.
Cellular Shades: Their honeycomb structure provides insulation and sound absorption, creating a cozy atmosphere. They’re also the most insulating window covering available, which keeps your bedroom comfortable.
Roman Shades: Combine soft fabric textures with excellent light-blocking capabilities for a luxurious feel.

Kitchens – Easy Maintenance + Control

Kitchens are areas that require one thing above all – ease of use. You are in your kitchen to whip up food science and make meals, not relax, so practicality is key. You want to have durable, easy-to-clean window coverings that can also handle the moisture and heat that crop up in a kitchen, all while allowing natural light to brighten the space.

Best Kitchen Options –

Faux Wood Blinds: Easy to clean and moisture resistant
Roller Shades: Sleek, modern, and easy to operate. Also available in a range of colors and patterns to match your aesthetic.
Woven Wood Shades: Resilient and natural textures while filtering light.

Bathrooms – Moisture Resistance + Privacy

Like kitchens, bathrooms require window coverings that can withstand humidity. Unlike kitchens, bathroom window coverings need to ensure total privacy.

Best Bathroom Option –

Plantation Shutters: Water-resistant and easy to maintain.

Home Office – Productivity and Glare Control

We just talked about home office window coverings last month, so go ahead and read up there if you haven’t already. Put briefly, your home office needs window treatments that minimize glare and maximize productivity.

Best Office Options –

Solar Shades: Reduce glare and UV rays.
Roman Shades: Reduce glare and add style to complement your office décor.
Motorized Shades: Make your windows as productive as you are by automating light and glare control to maximize your productivity.

Dining Room – Elegance + Adaptable

Dining rooms are typically an entertaining or gathering space, so you want window coverings that match the style and enhance the ambiance while also being adaptable for light control for meals during the day.

Best Dining Room Options –

Layered Shades: Combine sheer shades and opaque fabrics for versatile light filtering.
Wood (or Faux Wood) Blinds: Wood blinds add warmth and texture as well as light control.
Floor-to-Ceiling Drapes: For dining rooms with a flair for the dramatic.
