When it comes to designing the perfect bedroom, your choice of window treatment plays an important role in how you experience the space. The right shade provides privacy, helps control natural light, and affects your room’s ambiance– in addition to contributing to your space’s overall style.
As shade experts, we understand the impact that choosing the right style of shade has on your bedroom. That’s why we created a guide to bedroom window treatments that highlights 5 styles we recommend to our customers. Let’s dive in.
1. Blackout Cellular Shades
For those who sleep best in a space that’s completely dark, blackout cellular shades are for you. These shades are designed to block out nearly all incoming light, making them ideal for spaces, like the bedroom, where the ability to block out light from the sun, streetlamps, or car traffic is essential.
Blackout cellular shades are also excellent for insulating against heat and cold. This is due to their honeycomb-shaped cells, which trap air and provide a barrier against incoming sunlight and cold air. For more information on cellular shades, check out our guide to the subject.
2. Cordless and Motorized Cellular Shades
Cordless cellular shades offer a clean look and are safer in homes with children and pets because they eliminate the hazard of dangling cords. For added convenience, motorized cellular shades can be adjusted with the touch of a button– perfect for hard-to-reach windows and general ease of use.
3. Top-down/Bottom-up Cellular Shades
The ultimate versatile shade, top-down/bottom-up cellular shades allow you to open your shades from the top to let in natural light while keeping the bottom closed for privacy. This feature is particularly beneficial in urban areas or street-facing rooms where privacy can be a concern.
4. Motorized Roller Shades
Motorized roller shades combine ease of use with the simple design offered by roller shades. These shades can be operated remotely and are compatible with smart home systems, allowing them to be scheduled to open and close at specific times.
5. Chain-Operated Roller Shades
Chain-operated roller shades provide reliability and precise control over shade positioning– while maintaining a sleek and minimalist design. This style of shade is available in various materials and patterns that can add a stylish touch to your bedroom – while being incredibly easy to operate.
