How To Choose Bedroom Window Treatments In New Brunswick

When searching for a bedroom window covering in New Brunswick, color, installation, privacy, light control, and energy efficiency are key criteria to think about. What’s the best window treatment between shades, plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, and blinds? Think about these 5 things when choosing bedroom window treatments in New Brunswick, NJ.

Privacy

Privacy is the primary reason to order bedroom window treatments. Drapes, blinds, and shades may give you an adequate screen from nosy neighbors. But their often thin material means shadows and silhouettes can still be seen.

Plantation shutters and sliding barn doors, on the other hand, let you have ultimate privacy. The shutter louvers can be shifted to close entirely. And you can rest assured that there are no gaps on the sides of the window since bedroom shutters are installed with a frame. With sliding barn door shutters, just slide the panels closed for more privacy. A slight gap on the sides of the window may occur depending on the way your sliding barn door shutters are installed.

Light Control

When you want to block out an annoying street light, ignore the full moon, or sleep in, you need a light-blocking bedroom window treatment. Blindslike curtains and shades, are not the best at maintaining the darkness in the room. The material the slats are made from is usually pretty thin. And you can still see light coming in from the sides.

Some shades can give you enough room darkening. And some blackout curtains succeed in minimizing the amount of light that comes through the window. Some blackout curtains can be effective at reducing the brightness in the room. And certain types of shades may provide you with adequate light blocking. Sliding barn doors are built from solid wood, block the light head on. But the gap on the sides of the panels does not seal off the light completely.

All three plantation shutter types are mounted with a frame that seals off any stray sun rays. And their louvers can tilt flat, creating the darkest possible space. Both Polywood® and Ovation® wood shutters louvers can block light when closed. But reclaimed wood shutters can have markings and holes that let in light. Now you can sleep in any day with these bedroom plantation shutters!

Energy Efficiency

Color

Bedroom window treatments come in several colors and styles to complement your furniture. If you want to bring in the warmth of wood, choose sliding barn door shutters, wood blinds, woven wood shades, Ovation wood plantation shutters, or reclaimed wood shutters. If you’re going for a more contemporary look, Polywood plantation shutters, metal blinds, or cellular shades are the better option. And these bedroom window treatments can be customized with a selection of patterns, paints, stains, and more. Ask a window treatment expert about your color options in the New Brunswick area.
