Try Adding Shades and Shutters in Bedrooms

When many people think of their perfect bedroom space, one design element that is often overlooked are its window treatments. Horizontal blinds are the standard choice that many homeowners are familiar with—but they’re not the only option! At Ivan’s Blinds and More in La Quinta, CA, we’ll work with you to consider everything you need for your bedroom window treatments, including style and function, so you can get your best sleep ever.

What to Look for in Bedroom Window Treatments

Some of our favorite options include light blocking shades and shutters in bedrooms. When it comes to your decision, think through the aesthetic you want, how dark you want your room to be, and how much you want to control your privacy or view. If you need it quiet for a good night’s sleep, that matters, too.

For your bedroom window treatments, you likely want options that will darken your room by reducing outside light, like streetlights, passing car lights, or sunlight. This is true whether you sleep through the night or if you work a swing shift and get into bed at 2 in the afternoon.

Creating a dark, quiet, and cool atmosphere in your bedroom will make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep longer. That means that, in addition to room-darkening options, you might want thicker materials that can block or reduce sound. That way, if your neighbor has a barking dog or plays loud music, your sleep isn’t disturbed.

Hunter Douglas Top Down Bottom Up Shades for Bedrooms

American homeowners spend approximately 5 hours each day relaxing in their bedroom before or after bedtime. That’s why it’s important to choose window treatments with transformational features so that you can enjoy light and privacy all in one window covering.

One option we love are shades with the Hunter Douglas Top-Down/Bottom-Up System. This pairs with both shades and allows you to open the shades from the top or the bottom. This can allow you to maintain privacy while still enjoying an ample amount of light.

When selecting shades for your bedroom, consider the window treatment style and the fabric’s opacity and thickness. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades and Vignette® Roman Shades are the best choices because they come with top-down/bottom-up closure and can be automated. With layers of fabric that help moderate the temperature, reduce sound, and block out light, you can enjoy different levels of light with these shades. Plus, for the best results and ease of use, pair them with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation.

Shutters in Bedrooms

If you want to forgo soft window treatments for a more permeant and durable solution, consider shutters. These exquisite window treatments are installed precisely to fit your window, preventing light from entering through gaps in seams. Shutters are incredibly sturdy and secure and raise your home value. Thick louvers also block out sunlight, reduce sound, and create energy savings because they reduce heat transfer, which means your bedroom can stay the temperature you prefer without having to adjust the thermostat.

Shutters also provide excellent light control during the day. You can twist the louvers to enjoy the view or shut them for privacy. Plus with bypass or bifold tracks, you can move them out of the way for clear views.
