There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to window treatments; it all comes down to what’s most important to you. While many window treatments can balance the light or privacy in your home as you need, other aspects might make them more functional.

At Harmony Blinds and Shutters, we want to help you choose the perfect living room blinds or shades. We carry top window treatment brands, such as Norman, Alta, Hunter Douglas, and Carole™ Fabrics.

1. Choose Between Living Room Blinds, Shades, and Shutters

You can choose between blinds, shades, and shutters. Each option provides privacy, light control, and style, but not all suit your living room.

Types of Living Room Window Treatments

Here’s a quick overview of each type of window coverings:

• Blinds are the most cost-effective option. You can adjust the light and privacy by raising or lowering the slats and twisting them when they’re down.
• Shutters add luxury, raise curb appeal, and improve your home’s resale value. Since they fit snugly in your window frame, they improve your home’s energy usage while providing excellent light and privacy control.
• Living room shades can infuse your home with color. You can raise and lower the shade for light control and privacy and select add-ons, like Top-Down/Bottom-Up or dual shades, that give you even more power.

2. Determine the Style or Materials for Living Room Shades, Shutters, and Blinds

Once you know whether you prefer blinds, shades, or shutters, it’s time to choose the material or the type of shade. Shutters come in stunning hardwood wood composites that mimic the appearance of hardwood down to the wood grains but with added durability and an extremely durable and long-lasting polyresin.

Available in hardwood from sustainably managed forests, durable faux wood, and modern aluminum that bounces back into place, living room blinds make for an excellent choice. You may also enjoy vertical blinds in various fabric, aluminum, and vinyl combinations. Five styles of vertical blinds are:

• Woven Wood Shades: Artisans hand-weave these shades using sustainable materials like grass, jute, and bamboo.
• Sheer Shades: These living room shades incorporate sheer, opaque, or semi-opaque fabrics to provide privacy and diffused natural light.
• Cellular Shades: Also known as honeycomb shades, they provide excellent energy savings and sound absorption in a sophisticated, modern style.
• Roman Shades: These shades are a traditional style that uses folded fabric to create additional visual appeal.
• Roller Shades: Just as they sound, roller shades effortlessly glide up and down and have the most color options.

3. Select Complementing Colors, Patterns, or Designs

You’ll enjoy the fact that many of our window treatments are highly customizable. For blinds and shutters, you can adjust the width of the louvers or slats. You can also select from numerous paint and stain colors and add decorative tape to customize them further.

Shades have even more options. Each shade style has unique color and fabric combinations. Narrow down the colors and patterns to those that best complement your living room, then choose the materials that add texture, depth, and interest.
