Window treatments play an important aesthetic role in interior design. They also serve the practical function of controlling the amount of light and heat that enters your space. There are several different options, including blinds, shades, and curtains, each with their own particular advantages. Whether you’re shading a porch enclosure or a sunroom, here’s a brief guide on how to decide which is best for your home.

Your Guide to Blinds, Shades, & Curtains

Blinds

Blinds are one of the most popular and inexpensive window dressing products on the market. Their adjustable slats offer privacy and block out excessive light while still allowing you views of your outdoor areas. Aluminum and wooden blinds are particularly attractive, easy to clean, and simple to repair. 

Shades

Shades are a gorgeous window treatment option, and they are available in a wide variety of styles. Depending on how much light and privacy you desire, select shades in sheer or more opaque fabrics. Roman shades come in a wide variety of colors, making them easy to match to home interiors. Bamboo shades immediately make any room warmer and more welcoming. Add window awnings to your home exterior to block out even more light from your sunroom. 

Curtains

Curtains provide an ideal way of adding pizazz to your home decor since they are available in beautiful flowing fabrics and interesting patterns. They may also make your ceilings look taller if you use floor-length curtains. They even protect your blinds and shades from dust and debris. When your curtains become soiled, simply throw them in the washer and dryer. Pair shades with curtains for additional light blocking and privacy.
