Things to Consider for Your Living Room

Shades for your living room should incorporate all of the features that you deem important. To create a warm and inviting aesthetic that meets your style needs, our designers will ask you questions that will allow us all to determine the best fit for your home.

Before you come to your window treatment consultation, think through these things. Figure out what you want out of your living room shades, what you don’t want, and what the end product should look like. With all of this in mind, we can guide you in the right direction and help you find something you love. The more information we have, the better we’ll be able to help you.

Light and Privacy

While these are not mutually exclusive, it’s essential to consider whether having a lot of light is crucial to you or if you want to ensure your home is private. If you have nosy neighbors or live on a busy street, privacy might be more important. If you want to preserve a beautiful view, you could opt for light and a view. We have options that can cater to either or both of these needs.

Color Scheme

Your existing color scheme is important, as is the role you want your window treatments to fill within your home. Suppose you want your window treatments to have lots of color or patterns. In that case, we’ll make different recommendations than if you are instead looking for something neutral or that will provide a supporting rather than a main role in your home’s décor.

To help you determine which you want, you might consider bringing some samples to your consultation of your:

  • Paint
  • Upholstery or pillow fabrics
  • Flooring

Style Preferences

If you prefer a minimalist look, we’ll recommend window treatments that are different from those if you want a modern, natural, or romantic style. We know your style is unique, and we believe your window treatments can – and should – reflect that. We carry textiles ranging from sheer to room darkening. They can also incorporate your style, from luxurious silks and velvets to natural cotton and linens.

Shades for Your Living Room

After discussing your wants and needs, you can consider various window treatments. Some popular options for your living room are:

Enhance your living room with motorization. PowerView® Automation, PerfectTilt™, Bliss™, or Somfy® roller shades, Roman shades, sheer shades, cellular shades, or woven shades can be programmed with the precise settings you like at any time of day.
