Tips for Choosing Blinds and Window Treatments
Blinds and window treatments influence a room’s overall ambiance, and finding the right balance of style and function can be challenging but rewarding. At Wilmington Blinds & More in Wilmington, North Carolina, our talented design team can guide you through the process, whether your taste is traditional, contemporary, or something different. We feature custom Hunter Douglas window treatments and are happy to share these helpful tips to get you started in the right direction.
Consider the Room’s Function First
Different interior spaces have specific requirements. Light-blocking and privacy typically take center stage in bedrooms, while family rooms benefit from clear outside views and light-filtering window treatments. Kitchens and bathrooms have more humidity and chances for spills and splatters, so moisture- and stain-resistant materials are best for those windows. Dining rooms can be a combination of needs for window treatments, with possible spills and splatters, but needs for light from the windows.
Think About Fabrics and Materials
Wood, faux wood, metal, and fabric are the most common materials in blinds and shutters. Genuine wood creates a natural, permanent feel and is an excellent choice for plantation shutters. This natural material is less moisture-resistant, so it works better in bedrooms and living rooms. Faux wood offers a similar aesthetic and holds up to humidity. We suggest Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters for windows that need protection from strong sunlight and moisture.
Another option is custom shades from Hunter Douglas. These use high-quality fabrics with impressive colors and textures. These home window treatments fall into six categories:
- Cellular or honeycomb shades
- Roman shades
- Roller shades
- Sheers
- Vertical shades
- Woven shades
When deciding on the best fabric, consider privacy, insulation, and light control. Ask yourself how much you need for each room to help guide your decisions.
Size Matters
You can enhance small windows with graceful or utilitarian blinds and window treatments that don’t overwhelm them. We recommend wider slat widths for larger windows, patio doors, or French doors to complement the size of those windows. Hunter Douglas window coverings come in various heights, widths, and depths, and we can show you the best options for each window in your home. We also offer professional installation, so you won’t have to worry about gaps and other imperfections.
Think About the Upkeep
Window treatments need occasional cleaning and touchups, so it’s another factor to consider. Certain fabrics and materials need more maintenance, so research this information or ask one of our professional team members so that you know how to take care of your window treatments and make them last a lifetime.
The Final Touches
Choosing fabrics, colors, patterns, decorative accents, and control options is one of the best parts of getting new window treatments. Below are just a few of the enhancements available, and the choices depend on the custom-made window treatments chosen:
- Exclusive, globally sourced fabrics
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation
- DuoLite® System
- PowerView® Automation
