How To Pick Bedroom Window Treatments In Virginia Beach

When you’re looking for a window covering for your bedroom in Virginia Beach, color, installation, privacy, light control, and energy efficiency are major things to think about. What’s the best choice between sliding barn doors, blinds, shades, and plantation shutters? Consider these 5 things when purchasing bedroom window treatments in Virginia Beach, VA.

Privacy

Privacy is the primary reason to pick bedroom window treatments. Shades, drapes, and blinds can provide you with an adequate shield from curious passersby. But their generally thin material means silhouettes and shadows can still be seen.

Sliding barn doors and plantation shutters, conversely give you the most privacy. The shutter louvers can be moved to close all the way. And you can rest assured that there are no gaps where the louvers meet the side of the window since bedroom shutters come with a frame. With sliding barn doors, just slide the panels closed for more privacy. But a slight gap on the sides of the window may be of concern depending on the way your sliding barn doors are installed.

Light Control

When you want to block out an obnoxious street light, ignore the full moon, or sleep in, you need a light-blocking bedroom window treatment. Blinds are not the best at darkening the room. Most of their material is thin. And light still filters in from the sides.

Certain kinds of shades might provide you with adequate room darkening. And some blackout curtains can be effective at reducing the brightness in the room.

Quality
