Dress-up those naked windows

As bedroom is the most personal space when compared to other rooms, you want it secluded. Windows of a bedroom are a major problem when facing neighbour's house or a street. If windows are facing your garden, no hassles. But, if you belong to the not so privileged lot, do not worry. With effective window treatment, you can achieve that privacy you so much aspire for.

Window treatments can make any experienced decorator go crazy. Such is the variety offered to you. From material, colour, size, fabric to hardware. Let's start with the primary aspect on our mind. To achieve privacy, you need window treatments that offer complete opaque covering.

Fabric or Roller Shades offer complete window coverage. Most roller shades are made of vinyl or fabric that are completely opaque, while fabric shades are lined and custom made to your exact window measurements. Next, curtains or draperies offer fine covering. When strings are pulled, they close off the view. You can make it more effective, by adding linings. This will add opacity and durability and finally you can arrange the center overlap to eliminate open spots.

You can also go for pleated or cellular shades in non-sheer materials for full glass coverage. Many styles can be ordered with 'top-down' feature, so a portion of glass is visible at the top of the window to let in light and have a view. If you love sheer curtains or draperies go for it. They offer a bit of daytime privacy, however at night, you can use shades underneath for privacy after dark. You will be satisfied, for sure.

Wooden blinds and shutters are doing rounds presently. They provide nearly private environment, but be aware of certain angles through the slates. You can also choose cellular shades in non-sheer fabrics. They provide privacy and have an insulating benefit as well.

So, pay attention to these types and you can sure give a direction to your room decor. By combining window treatment in intelligent ways, you can accomplish the necessary function as well as contribute to a room's style. You will not go wrong.
