Window Covering Design Ideas For Different Rooms
Master Bath:
While humidity won't necessarily harm any quality window treatments, even wood blinds, the best choice for treating areas such as a window in the shower are Faux Wood blinds.
For additional privacy, consider blinds with the Routeless option.
If you choose Vertical Blinds, then keep in mind the approximately 1/2" gap below the vertical vanes near the window sill (on an inside mount), and decide if that is going to be sufficient privacy for you, especially if the window is near your bath tub.
Kitchen:
In areas prone to stray splashes, cleanability is a key consideration. Window coverings by a sink should be easy to clean. Faux wood and Aluminum blinds are top choices for this reason. Stick to colours and patterns with smooth finishes, as opposed to rough (such as embossed).
Living Room:
For an upscale look, consider Sheer to Shade. Popular and stylish, they give any window a touch of elegance with the functionality of a light filtering or room darkening shade.
Nursery:
Nothing is more important than the safety of your children. Make sure that baby's cribs and toddlers beds are not positioned near blinds and shades.
We encourage you to order Honeycomb shades, most of which offer the Cordless Child Safety feature. Roller Shades with spring mechanisms are also popular due to their cordless nature.
If you do order shades or blinds with cords, make sure to also request cord cleats (free of charge). These are handy add-ons that install into the wall near where the cords hang, and then you can wind the otherwise hanging cords around the cleats, safely out of child's reach.
Finally, make sure that whatever blinds you order are not the ones with hazardous lead; none of SelectBlindsCanada's blinds contain lead.
Since darkening the room as much as possible is important, Blackout Honeycomb shades are ideal. Blinds with the Routeless option are also good choices.
Master Bedroom:
If a dark room is what you are after, then consider Blackout Shades. Available as Honeycombs, Roller Shades and Roman Shades, they offer the best light blocking properties.
Horizontal blinds also offer good light blocking when combined with the Routeless option, so there are less holes for light to creep through.
Media Room:
For areas requiring as much darkness as possible,Blackout Honeycomb Shades are a popular choice.
If you prefer Wood, Faux Wood or Aluminum Horizontal blinds, choose the Routeless option so that there are no route holes for the light to shine through.
Study/Home Office:
For a simple yet classic designer look, consider Wood blinds. Also see the related section on dressing your front of house windows.
