6 Window Coverings that Stand the Test of Time

When most people think about their home's interior design, they often look at furniture and small decor items first.


But what about your windows?


They say a picture is worth a thousand words and window treatments literally frame some of the best views in your home! Are you sneaking a peek at your outdated or tired window coverings? It might be time to refresh them.


Whether you want to update your window treatments in your dining room or guest room for company this holiday season, or give all the windows in your home a refresh for the new year, we have some designer worthy treatments you are sure to love! 


Wood and Faux Wood Blinds

One of the most popular window treatment options is blinds. This window treatment allows full control over light filtering and privacy, which is what makes them so popular. Upgrade your aluminum mini blinds for a more classic and timeless option–wood or faux wood blinds. Both material options have a variety of colors and stains as well as slat widths to select from. What may dictate your material selection is the room you wish to install your new window treatment in and how much time you’d like to spend caring for your blinds. Wood blinds do offer more insulation than faux wood as wood is a natural insulator, however, they can be damaged by high humidity and should not be installed in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or kitchens. Wood also needs more care than faux wood, especially if you live in a dry climate, as they will need routine polishing to keep them from cracking.


Interior Shutters

Interior shutters are the single most sought after window treatment. Home buyers will ante up more for the luxury of interior shutters. While they are the most expensive in the short-term, you'll reap the benefits in spades later as this is the only window treatment that actually adds to the value of your property. Like blinds, you’ll find a variety of slat width options, color options, and material options. You’ll also have other options to choose from such as mounting, trim, number of panels, and control of the slats. 


Cellular Shades

Today’s cellular shades are not the shades you remember in your grandmother’s home. Also known as honeycomb shades for their pocketed design, these shades have had a sleek, modern makeover! Cellular shades come in a variety of color and fabric options, but what makes them so wonderful is that they are the most energy efficient window covering. The pockets of fabric trap hot and cold air that seep in through your windows, making them a great choice for those who have old, drafty windows. 


Roman Shades

If you desire a classic look with a dose of texture, opt for roman shades. This classic window treatment has been around since the Roman Empire because of its practicality and chic, timeless style. Roman shades are known for their soft folds of fabric. There are four different types of folds, from more structured to soft curves of fabric. This makes them a great choice for all home decor styles, including modern styles. With endless options in fabric, patterns, colors, and textures, there is something sure to please anyone!


Woven Wood Shades

Woven wood shades, also referred to as natural shades, create a relaxed and inviting environment that is also elegant. They add a dose of natural elements and texture to any room as they are made of fine wood or bamboo, making them exceptionally durable and stunningly beautiful! There are a variety of colors and natural materials to choose from. Similar to wood blinds or shutters, we recommend that you install these in rooms that do not have excess humidity or the potential for grease splatters. 


Roller Shades

Roller shades are a great option for those who enjoy clean lines, like those found in transitional and modern home decor styles. Roller shades come in a variety of colors, textures, and fabrics. They are easy to operate and the material rolls up into a neat stack when pulled open. They are also an affordable option that still offers plenty of style!
