Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers

Many parts of your home might be able to wait for all the finishing touches, but your master bedroom windows shouldn't be one of them. Your master should be your escape from the rest of the home for relaxation and 'you time.' Master bedroom shades will add the finishing touches to your bedroom and are essential for light control and privacy where it's needed most. Here are some suggestions to make a master bedroom you'll never want to leave.

Master Bedroom Blinds vs. Curtains

When looking for the best window treatments, people tend to think of either blinds or curtains. It makes sense— they're easily the most popular, traditional options available on the market. Beyond working with most window styles, both options are versatile enough to fit almost any interior design style, making them an easy addition to any room.

 

Even though both options are great, there are considerations to take when deciding between blinds and curtains for your bedroom.

Curtains and Drapes

Drapery and curtains are a famous fit for your bedroom. The long, flowy lines from your windows give a living feel to your master bedroom. Here are some details to consider when deciding between drapes:

 

  1. Material—Silk is always an elegant and romantic feature to incorporate into your master bedroom.
  2. Window Treatments—Try silk drapery that matches your décor. Hues that are darker or golden-toned will bring warmth to the room, while white silk will brighten up your bedroom, being equally as elegant.
  3. Styling—Loosely draping the silk fabric adds character and a more organic touch to your bedroom. For other types of drapery, try using oversized hardware, like curtains with large holes or hooks to loop through a metal beam. These finishes will add a modern and urban feel to the windows, perfect if your master bedroom has any brick features.

Blinds and Shades

If curtains' appeal is their liveliness and flow, blinds' appeal would have to be the strong lines and utility they bring to the bedroom. They still have countless visual varieties to sate your need for style, but their capability for controlling natural light is unmatched. We love the following types of shades for the master bedroom:

 

  1. Zebra/Banded Shades—These unique window coverings combine sheer and solid fabric bands. Banded Shades' alternating bands can be rolled, allowing you to easily change between letting the sunlight stream and giving your home the privacy it needs.
  2. Cellular ShadesCellular shades come with incredible amounts of variety in style. You can find anything between sheer options and heavily printed, room-darkening options. What sets these shades apart, though, is their unique construction. Small air pockets limit heat transfer through your window, resulting in a more efficient HVAC and a lower energy bill for you.
  3. Hardwood Blinds—Real wood blinds are a delight to the eye and are classics for a reason. We love these for their ability to bring anything from grandeur to coziness to your bedroom. They're the ideal choice for anyone looking to control light blockage and look great while doing it.

Adding Dimension

Incorporating depth and dimension will add more interest to your windows; pleated window coverings are tasteful and ideal for creating dimension in your room. You can find pleated options in various curtains or even fabric vertical blinds if your bedroom has large expanses of glass, sliding glass, or patio doors.

 

Layering also works great for giving the appearance of depth. You can layer curtains or drapes over a window covering that controls light for both design and functionality. Roller shades are great for blocking out light, and Roman shades, with a stacked appearance, give a more layered look at the window.

Controlling Light

Blocking out light for a good night's sleep could be one of the most important qualities your master bedroom windows should have. There are a variety of window treatment selections that get the job done. If you want to keep out the sun's rays completely, opaque roller shades are great for pulling down in the evening to prep your room for sleep.

 

Horizontal blinds offer more varied light control and can still make your room feel warm and elegant. To soften your master bedroom, let in more diffused light with sheers and shadings. With the right window treatment, you can get the light filtration and privacy your bedroom needs.
