Even if you’ve chosen beautiful décor or furniture for your living room, it’s not completely decorated until you choose and install window coverings. Undressed windows can make the whole appearance fall apart. Here are some tips for choosing window coverings for your living room. 

Understand Why You Need Window Coverings

The right window treatments give you a lot of control over the space. Window treatments allow you to control the natural light that comes, and they can also help to improve your privacy. Window treatments also add a great deal of style to a space. According to Statista, in 2018, a survey of 18-29-year-olds found that 15.88% had purchased new window coverings in the past 12 months. They are a very popular way to spruce up a space.

Keep Privacy in Mind

There are many window coverings that can be adjusted to give you more privacy. However, in a common space like a living room, privacy is not the main priority, but controlling natural light might be. Of course, if you live close enough to the neighbors for them to peep in at their leisure, privacy is a priority. A combination of blinds and drapes can be the ideal solution for controlling light, adding style, and keeping the neighbor's prying eyes out of your living room. 

Choose the Window Treatment That Suits Your Style and Needs

If you don't want to fuss too much with your window treatment, then blinds alone can deliver a sleek modern feel while also giving you the opportunity to control natural light and privacy. Blinds come in a wide range of colors and styles that can match any décor.

Double Up On Curtains and Drapes

Many people like the look of sheer curtains and heavy drapes. Sheers (when the drapes are open) filter the natural light into the room. While drapes can be pulled closed to shut out any unwanted light and improve privacy.
