27 Oct Different Window Covering Options

With a wide range of window coverings on the market, it can be difficult to choose the best option to suit your needs. Different styles have many subtypes that can change the look of your window treatments. Use this guide to help you find the perfect window coverings for your lifestyle:

• Shutters

Basswood window shutters are grown in renewable forests. A tight-grained wood, basswood creates some of the most durable shutters on the market. They are also lightweight and can be painted or stained. Alder wood shutters can give you a rustic atmosphere in your home. Specialty wood shutters come in a variety of materials, including oak, maple, walnut, cherry, pine, and VG fir. Real wood shutters provide a classy look for your interior. You can also find plantation shutters, thermalite, and MDF/HDF, which are made from wood by-products.

• Blinds

Vertical blinds make it easy to open and close the slats; this offers better control of privacy and the amount of light in a room. They are also not as likely to be damaged in heavy winds like other blind styles. Two-inch wood blinds can be customized to fit your window and will incorporate style and function into your décor. Faux wood blinds have the look of real wood, but they are easier to care for and are not as likely to warp.

• Shades

You can use widow shades to complement the rest of your interior. Roller shades are easily raised and lowered, which gives you immediate privacy and light control. Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, make your home much more energy efficient. They also reduce exterior noise levels to make your home more peaceful. Roman shades are functional and stylish. Folding up into evenly sized panels when they are raised, they become a décor accessory of their own.
