Each room is designed for different uses, from cooking to lounging to sleeping, so each room has different needs. That holds as true for window treatments as it does for furniture. At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we know it can be overwhelming for our customers to figure out which treatments they need for each room, so we educate them on the benefits of different ones so they can narrow down their choices. Today, we’re discussing ideas for living room windows. Read on to learn more, and be sure to speak with one of our representatives for ideas specific to your situation.

What the Room Needs

Living rooms (or family rooms) are often where the family gathers in the evening, to watch TV or play a game. These rooms also play host to parties or small gatherings of friends. With that kind of traffic, privacy might be the biggest challenge to solve—as might be glare reduction. Plus, if the room faces south or west, light control could be very important, as might some form of insulation at the window. Here are some ideas to solve these and other challenges:

  • UV protection. Designer screen shades can block up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays from damaging your flooring, artwork, and furnishings. Depending on the shade’s weave (openness factor), it can allow you some view-through, creating a more open feel to the room.
  • Energy savings. Honeycomb shades provide insulation at the window and are available in a wide array of textures and colors that can match or complement most décor styles. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are a popular line, and they offer numerous options.
  • Light control. Wood blinds and shutters are great at privacy and light control, and they offer some view-through even when the slats are tilted. Plus, these products are durable and long-lasting, and they’re fairly easy to maintain. Consider lines such as Heritance® Hardwood Shutters or Parkland® Wood Blinds.
  • Vertically oriented windows. If you have large window openings or a sliding glass door, you might need vertically oriented treatments. Luminette® Privacy Sheers or Skyline® Gliding Window Panels are great for vertically oriented windows, and they add a modern look and contemporary lines.
