3 Problems Solved by the Right Window Covering

Window coverings aren’t just for blocking the sun and insulating the home (although they certainly are great at that). They can do so much more. For instance, did you know that the right window covering can complete the look of any room and solve your home decor problems? That’s right! So today, Budget Blinds of Tempe and Central Phoenix is here to show you how the right window coverings can help your home decor troubles!

Let’s break down a few common problems and how the right window covering will fix it. 

Highlighting or Covering Odd Windows 

Not every window will be square or a statement piece. Sometimes, you may want to cover a window instead of replace it or highlight it, and other times, you may have a window that you love, but you have no clue how to dress it. 

Small windows, for example, are best covered with less bulky options, like roller shades. If you want to make them a statement, custom shutters will go a long way to highlight the window while making it look like a framed work of art. 

If the window is too tall, you have a few options. The old-fashioned way is through drapes and valances. These give a window a classic, impressive look, but they don’t leave much when it comes to light and privacy control, and they can be difficult to operate depending on the height of the window. 

If you want something a little more functional, cellular shades or faux wood blinds do wonders (without the weight of shutters or real wood!). These will give you fine tuned control over how much light and privacy you’re looking for.

What about windows that are a different shape, like ones with arches or round windows? All of these can be handled with the right window covering. Horizontal blinds can work well with an odd-shaped window, or curtains with a special rod for a round window. Point is, through the proper know-how there’s no window that can’t get a window covering.

When it comes to know-how, Budget Blinds of Tempe and Central Phoenix has you covered.

Window Coverings Can Help with Too Much Sun

Here’s the obvious one: window coverings help block out the sun. But did you know that different window coverings give you different options of light control? For example, you may love the warm glow of the sun, but hate the glare it gives off. Or you may want it to be blocked entirely. The right window covering can give you exactly what you want, in the style you want too. 

In Arizona, we all know how harsh the sun can get. Sometimes, it is best to just block it out entirely. The solution? Well, nothing less than the proper application of a good set of coverings! Two great options for blocking out the sun are blackout curtains to completely neutralize the light or shades with a liner. These will both block the heat and the sun out entirely. 

If you like having the room bathed in diffused light, then honeycomb shades are the way to go. They let in the light without letting in the heat. In fact, they are one of the top-rated window coverings for insulation! You can also pick single celled, double cell, or triple cell, depending on your style preference and how much heat you want to block. 

What if you’re dealing with sliding glass doors? When it comes to these, the preferred window covering solution is going to be a vertical blind. These allow you to open up the blinds just as much as you need so you can still access the door and keep your blinds organized and clear. If you want to be different, you can pair them with a valance to help block the bulky top! 

On top of all of that, the right window covering can help protect your flooring and your furniture from sun bleaching. It can help keep their colors bright and the whites clean! 

Block Out Nosy Neighbors

No one wants their neighbors peering into their home when they’re passing by. Privacy is essential! All sorts of window coverings can increase your privacy and prevent passers-by or nosy neighbors from staring into your windows. The best ones are non-see through, like drapes, shutters, and blinds. 

Whatever home decor, or neighbor-based, problems you have there is a solution! Through the proper application of window covering solutions, anything is possible!
