An abundance of windows is a major selling point for any home. They lighten rooms, provide views of the outdoors and fresh air. Window treatments can also help you solve common design problems in your home, from small windows to those awkward windows in the corner. Keep reading to discover how you can use window coverings to solve design issues in your home. 


Your Windows Are Too Small


Some windows are so undersized that finding appropriate coverings can feel impossible. Instead of opting for large, overwhelming arrangements, try window treatments that work with your window’s size. Some great options are roller shades and roman shades. 


A Room Gets Too Much Sun


Windows facing the south get a lot of natural light. This can cause excessive heat in the room and fade interior furnishings. The problem is even worse if your bedroom faces the east. The solution? Room-darkening shades. PerfectSheer™ Shades allow you to choose from a light-filtering sheer and room-darkening fabric to allow for greater light and privacy control. 

Dressing Corner Windows

Although they initially come across as awkward and impossible to dress properly, you can easily transform corner windows into beautiful elements of your decor. You can overcome this obstacle by installing a window treatment that opens from the middle, like drapery. This way, you have a sense of symmetry on each side of the window. In turn, creating a symmetrical will create a symmetrical look in the room and allow you to open windows separately. 

The Nosy Neighbor Problem

Whether you live in a busy street or just have neighbors who like to be in everyone’s business, there are easy window treatment solutions to get the privacy you need. You can choose from elegant options that provide privacy and peace of mind without sacrificing style or light control. Cellular shades and blinds close tightly to provide privacy and light control but are easily adjusted when you want natural light in the room.

Windows are Difficult to Reach

Skylights and bay windows are beautiful ways to let sunlight into a room but are often difficult to reach in order to operate window treatments. The best way to solve this problem is to invest in custom, motorized window coverings. You’ll be able to easily control the amount of light in your room and will be adding aesthetic appeal to your living space. 

A Sliding Door Lets in Too Much Sunlight

Window treatments aren’t limited to being used only on windows. Vertical blinds are an amazing option for sliding glass and French doors. Vertical blinds feature a heavier headrail to keep blinds in place when being opened and closed. They also help to keep your interior furniture and floors from being faded due to extended UV ray exposure.
