How to Get Privacy Without Sacrificing Light!
One of the big features of window coverings that they provide your home with privacy. Everyone wants to feel safe and secure in their home. Using window coverings are a great way to provide that – but you don’t want to lose out on all your wonderful light! This time on the Budget Blinds Scottsdale blog, we’re going to give you some pointers on how to get the privacy you crave without sacrificing your precious light!
How to Cover a Window Without Losing All Light
Believe it or not, you can cover a window and not lose out on all that sweet, sweet natural light. You don’t have to use blackout blinds to get the privacy results you want! Here are a few options to consider!
Sheer Shades
Option numero uno are sheer shades. These are lightweight and flexible and the fabric they use is versatile. You can easily adjust the light filtering qualities of the shades as well as use adjustable louvers for more light and privacy control. They come in a variety of colors, to match any window in any room, and those differences in color and opacity can further control the light.
All of this providing excellent privacy and the right amount of natural light for you.
Interior Wood Shutters
Interior wood shutters are an excellent option when it comes to shutting light out and blocking line of sight! That said, they are all built with louvered slats that easily allow the operator to tilt them and allow an ideal amount of sun for you. Interior wood shutters can be custom made to fit any weird window or door your home might have.
Full Coverage Options
Occasionally your home might need a more comprehensive window covering solution. Bedroom windows that have an ill-fitting covering for instance could cause you to wake with the sun, bathrooms might be the place you want the most privacy! In these instances there are a few different options you can go with to give you total privacy and filtered light – with the occasional view if you want!
Drapery Panels
Drapery panels are a great option if you need more robust coverage. They can be designed to fit any length and width. Pair the drapes with sheers or blinds adds further versatility and control. The drapes themselves can also be made of varying opacity. You can use an almost translucent material, add a light filtering lining, or use lightweight fabrics – the customization is almost endless!
Motorized Shutters
Motorizing some shutters is a pretty great solution to rooms that are too bright. Shutters are a classic and timeless look, upgrading them with motorization will giv eyou a whole new world of power and control! Shutters can be custom fit to any window small or large, put up over transom windows and more. For these higher, out of reach windows, motorization is key because it allows you the ability to control them at a touch of a button, rather than having to go grab the ladder just to adjust some slats!
If you’re feeling extra technological, and why wouldn’t you we’re in The Smart Era after all, you can automate your shutters as well to program their opening and closing based on times of day and when you need light and when you don’t! “Save on your energy bills with this one simple trick, power companies hate it!”
