The feeling of safety at home is one nobody should compromise. Bedroom and bathroom privacy enhance that feeling of safety, and with the right window coverings, can make those rooms beautiful as well. A functional, well-designed space with the best window coverings helps keep light from filtering in when you don’t want it, or keeps the room open to outside views. Learn more about all the features available to cover those windows in style.
Opaque vs. Sheer Coverings
Window covering opacity, or density, is the first key to creating space in your home that feels safe and comfortable. The density of fabric on a shade or blind determines how much light comes through. Sheers will allow more light through, while opaque shades will cover up windows all the way to a blackout style function. It all depends on how you want to style that area of the home.
Bedroom Coverage
A truly private space, the bedroom needs the right window coverings. In addition, a good night’s sleep starts with room darkening. The options for opacity will create a private space while controlling the light and offering energy efficiency. This can help keep costs low, while keeping light at bay that could bleach interiors such as walls, carpet or furniture. Sleep better in a beautifully styled room that blocks light, all while keeping the space private.
Bathroom Coverage
A bathroom can be a tricky place to find the best coverage, depending on the windows. It can depend on how the light interacts with the space. You’ll want natural light, but without a view into the room. Many homeowners value a light-filtering fabric to showcase a glowing atmosphere while blocking the outside views.
Top Shade Features
A great window shade will cover your window and offer the right amount of privacy and light filtering, with additional features. Form and function are key, so let’s take a look at innovative features to consider for the best outcome.
Dual Shades
Some people say you can’t have it ‘both ways,’ but they’ve clearly never heard of the dual shade. Dual shades are all about double duty. The light-filtering option lets in glowing light–and sometimes exterior views–while the other shade blocks the outside world.
Motorized Control
Technology is a wonderful thing, especially when it comes to blinds in your home. Motorized blinds, with the tap of a button, adjust shades, moving them as you need them, keeping both light control and privacy top priorities. Set scenes and/or schedules to adjust shades anytime you want to create a ‘mood.’ Smart shades are quickly becoming a favorite of homeowners who love the customizable approach for efficient bedroom and bathroom privacy.
Layers of Light
A great feature of layered window coverings is the ability to cover windows with a chosen shade while pairing with a beautiful custom drape as an accent that works with the shade. Bringing form and function together helps the customized pieces shape your space while also offering maximum privacy and functional features.
Uniquely Designed Windows
Skylight windows bring in natural light, and they are commonly found in both bedrooms and bathrooms. Privacy is not always a concern with these windows, but light and heat can be. Sunlight can fade interiors so having skylight shades helps shield bedrooms and bathrooms from harsh rays. Love your skylights by covering them with the best shades. Applause Honeycomb shades offer comfortable temperatures in rooms while controlling light with added privacy features. Customize the skylights in your home with manual or automated shades for optimal control that suits your home and lifestyle.
