Security and safety at home are a top priority for many families. But did you know window coverings also play an essential part? Bedroom and bathroom privacy means creating a space that looks beautiful, but feels as private as you need and offers flexible choices. Let’s look at ways to transform your private spaces into sanctuaries that look and feel stunning (while offering the coverage you need).
The Right Fabric
Let’s talk about fabric choices. It’s not just about choosing style, but function as well. The opacity of a fabric determines how much light comes in. A more translucent style (think sheers ) lets the most light in. With opaque fabric, light is blocked, which is a more dense fabric or ‘blackout feature.’ Optimal bedroom and bathroom privacy window coverings should offer both style and light-filtering options that suit your needs and let you adjust them for the time of day.
Bedroom Window Options
A bedroom is a calm, quiet place for rest, but can function as more these days. What remains true is that you want visually stunning window coverings that work for you without requiring additional effort (am I right)? Privacy is key in the bedroom, but so are the benefits of light control and energy efficiency. Many homeowners look to room darkening fabrics when covering the bedroom windows for these reasons.
Bathroom Features
A bathroom needs a few things for an optimal atmosphere: The option for natural light, but not a view in. You might also like to invite energy efficiency if your windows face direct sunlight. Privacy shades keep the view inside but still let some natural light in. Modern roman shades are a great option to filter light but also block views. Enjoy a beautiful look at the window from the inside, while keeping the view outside closed as needed.
Favorite Shade Features
A great shade offers coverage, energy efficiency, and it deserves to look beautiful, too. Is that too much to ask? No! You should expect a lot from those window shades, so let’s explore how to get privacy features, filtered light or blocked light, energy savings and simple operation.
Dual Shades
This shade does two jobs in one. Dual control lets you filter light as needed but offers a darkening option at the same time. One shade does the work of filtering light while the other keeps privacy at the top of your list. Finding the right dual shades can be exciting, as this feature opens a world of possibilities. The front shade filters the light, while the blackout roller can lower from the headrail, making it a simple task to control the light and keep it private.
Light Control
A shade that adjusts when you need it is so modern. Motorized blinds offer bedroom and bathroom privacy that suit your lifestyle. They let you hit a button for optimal control or change the view as needed. Set the scene for your bedroom and bathroom, or keep it private. Want more light in the middle of the day? Set a schedule to open up those shades and let light flow. Keep in mind, you can also choose from a variety of fabrics and styles that also fit your decor, so it will blend right in with your existing pieces. What’s not to love about that?
Top-Down, Bottom-Up Feature
The top-down, bottom-up feature offers maximum control for light and privacy. A Duette Honeycomb shade, for instance, can offer a bit of coverage at the bottom and a lot of light at the top, or turn it around and cover those windows up to filter light (and gain privacy), to let just a bit of light in at the top. Bathrooms can use this effectively, and the bedroom also benefits from keeping things cozy but unseen by the rest of the world.
Custom shutters are another way to get privacy on the bottom while enjoying light across the top of the room. This split tilt feature is an important selection in customizing your shutters to achieve the ideal atmosphere in your bedroom or bathroom.
That Illuminated Feeling
A unique shade in the world of window coverings is creating quite a stir. Bedroom and bathroom privacy with special LED lights are built into the shade. Bright lights for a change? Hit a button and light it up. Looking for low light in a bathroom or bedroom for a quiet, cozy feel? Let Aura Illuminated Shades shift back and forth and create the atmosphere you want while looking beautiful and offering privacy and light filtering with these custom-made designs.
Tilt and Turn
Big picture windows, tall doors and other unique spaces require a uniquely designed shade. The tilt-turn shade covers these windows while offering maximum privacy and light filtering options. Benefit from the versatility they offer while keeping windows looking beautiful day and night. The Trackglide system covers windows with shallow depth using materials that don’t require drilling. These blinds move with the glass to offer full coverage, protection, and maximize privacy.
Let’s Layer It
Layers are a great way to add privacy while making a space look great. A base shade or blind with custom drapes adds color and design but still gives you the privacy you need. You can have the shades open for light but draw the drapes to close up the window or have them off to the side while keeping the blinds closed for privacy. Add texture and playfulness to a space but also diffuse light and keep it energy efficient.
Unique Window Coverings
It’s time to talk about those crazy skylights, often found in both bedrooms and bathrooms. They can be a unique challenge to cover and not everyone knows you can get window coverings (yes, you can)! Customized skylight shades let you tailor the blinds to the skylight and create coverage for privacy, while also keeping light out (or letting it in) as needed. With skylight features, you can have a stylish look that matches your other decor and keeps light from bleaching those interiors. Enjoy the sunshine but don’t let it keep you from the atmosphere you desire.
