What Are Living Room Window Treatments?

Living room window covers are one of the most important design elements in your living room. They can add elegance and style to your room, or they can make it look drab and uninviting. Window treatments for living rooms should be carefully chosen to complement the rest of the room's decorating style.

Modern Window Treatment Ideas for Living Room

Light Filtering Roller Shades for Filtered Light and Airy Feel

In your living room, you’ll need a bright, airy feel. But too much natural light can be harsh, especially in rooms meant for relaxing. So, just filter - don’t block out - natural light. 

If your 21st-century-inspired open-concept living room with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows, we recommend light filtering roller blinds that will provide ample glare-free light for an airy feel, while maintaining privacy.

Vertical Panels for Texture and Definition

If you have tall windows in your living room, hang vertical panels starting and ending with a velvet strip. It will add texture, definition, and an unexpected dose of color to your window treatments.

Combine two Blinds for a Layered Look

Nina Hendrick, an interior designer, recommends combining two window treatments for a better look, feel, and functionality. She claims: “Layering window coverings can give your living room a stylish and sophisticated look, while also allowing you to adjust the amount of light and privacy.”

Layering also offers functional benefits. For example, if you combine a blackout blind with a sheer fabric shade, you can instantly switch between 100% room darkening effect and brightly-lit living room interior.

Wood and Faux Wood Blinds for a Touch of Nature

The living room is the heart of your home. It's where you gather with friends and family, where you watch TV, enjoy a nice meal, and unwind after a long day.

It should be a place of comfort and serenity, but if it's not designed well or furnished with the right furniture, that peace can quickly turn into chaos.

Wood and faux wood blinds for living room windows can help you achieve the look you want in this important space.

Whether you're looking for something simple that will complement your existing decor or something more bold that will add some color to your space, there are plenty of options available from our selection of wood and faux wood blinds for living room windows.

Cellular Shades for Sleeker Look & Energy Savings

Cellular shades are a great option for your living room. These insulating window covers are easy to use and maintain, and they have a sleek style that will enhance the look of your home.

Cellular shades are made up of cells that are lined with material that blocks light but allows air flow. This makes them perfect for living rooms because you can block out sunlight and other light sources while still having access to fresh air.

If you have a large window that lets in a lot of light, cellular shades will help to keep your room dark and cozy while still letting you enjoy the view outside.

You can also use cellular shades to block out glare. If you have a window that faces east or west, these shades can help keep your room from being too bright in the mornings or evenings.

You'll find cellular or honeycomb shades in a wide range of colors and fabrics, so you can choose the ones that match your décor best. Most cellular shades come in neutral colors like tan or beige, but you can also find options that are made from materials like linen or cotton.

Roman Shades for Warmth and Curb Appeal

When you are looking for the perfect window treatment for your living room, you need to consider the look, feel and function of the room. If you want your living room to be a place where people can relax and unwind after a long day at work or school, then you will want to make sure that it has a comfortable feeling. The best way to achieve this is through using a suitable type of Roman fabric blinds.

Roman Shades for Living Room come in many different styles and colors so that they can be easily matched with any decorating style. They are also available in various materials including cotton, silk and polyester which makes them easy to clean and maintain.

There are many reasons why Roman Shades for Living Room are so popular among homeowners today:

• Roman blinds add warmth and coziness.
• They block out light completely when closed.
• They reduce temperature fluctuations within the living room during the day (especially if there is direct sunlight coming in through windows).
• They provide privacy when needed.
• Choose your favorite fold style from hobbled, soft fold, flat fold, front slat fold, plain classic fold, European relaxed fold, top-down, bottom-up and seamless.

Sheer Shades for Outside View and Natural Light

The living room is a great place to relax and unwind. It is also a great place to unwind your window treatments. The right sheer shades will allow you to enjoy the view outside while still letting in the light.

Sheer light filtering shades can be used to add color and style to your room without adding any real weight or bulk. They are perfect for rooms where you want more light but do not want to block it all out with heavier drapes or curtains.

If you have a large window that needs covering up, then sheer shades are a good choice for you. They will let in lots of natural light and still offer privacy if needed.

8 Valuable Factors to Consider When Choosing Window Treatments for Living Rooms

It’s vital for you to pick out the right window covering for the style and functionality of your living room. Just consider the following factors:

1. Fabric Length: Choose fabric length based on function and style of window. If you want to make a small window look bigger, add a few inches to both length and width. 
2. Light Control: How much light do you want to let in? You'll want to choose blinds or curtains that allow enough light through to ensure that you can see clearly, but also keep enough light out so that you feel comfortable. To get filtered light while maintaining privacy, we recommend light filtering roller shades.
3. Color Scheme of Your Living Room: If you have a lot of warm colors, go with darker shades like burgundy or maroon. If you have various cool colors, opt for lighter shades like white or beige. This will help tie everything together and make it easier to maintain an overall look and feel in your living room.
4. Style Considerations: Consider whether or not a blind matches furniture pieces, whether it's made from natural materials like wood or metal (for example), and whether it has a modern or traditional feel to it (if so).
5. Energy Savings: Choose an energy saving option, as it can not only enhance the comfort of your living room but also help you save tons of money you would otherwise be spending on heating and cooling costs.
6. Direction in Which Your Window is Facing: It will help you to decide if you want to allow light to come in or to block it out.
7. Blackout Liner: Add a blackout liner to improve light control and privacy of your space.
8. Patterns: Choose from hundreds of beautiful floral patterns.
