Large windows are extremely effective at allowing natural light into the room as well as air. They also give the room in your Winnipeg a more spacious and clean look. With this in mind, it is also important to make sure that you select the right window shades in order to ensure that you still make the most of these large windows.
Visual aspects
When looking for ideas for the best window
coverings for your large window, you should consider your view from that window. If your window is facing your garden or patio which is overlooked by neighbors, you will want to make sure that the view into your home is obscured. Some of the top options include Venetian blinds and vertical blinds. Wooden Venetian blinds are great for adding style and privacy while allowing light to filter through. If you choose fabric, you should choose soft colors like yellow, gold, or even green. These colors help create a soothing environment.
Surrounding features
Sometimes there are other features and fixtures located near the window and this will affect the choice you make in blinds. For example, if you have a radiator positioned directly below the window, you want to avoid window coverings that extend over the radiator. In this case, custom blinds or shades are the best options. Bay and bow windows make a room more spacious and, if you plan on using this space for a piano, desk, or something else, you should also ensure that your window coverings are neat and as compact as possible. This will help you maximize your space.
Practical and stylish
It’s always important to consider the style and size of the room when selecting window blinds or shades. While blinds and shades are excellent for their practical uses as well as their clean design, sometimes the decorative theme of a room requires something extra. In such cases, blinds or shades are installed for privacy and to keep light out while additional drapes are fitted in order to complement the furniture and décor. For the most part, these drapes are left open and serve more as an accessory than anything else.
A frame for the room
Your windows and window treatments help
give a room its visual structure. So, when planning any design or decorative changes, you should not leave them as an afterthought. Many people choose to choose neutral colors and designs that are void of distinct patterns. This allows them the freedom to change the colors and décor in the room without having to change the window coverings too. If you use more than one window covering on a large window, you can alternate between two colors, for example, so that it helps break the window up instead of it looking like one large block.
Custom window treatments
In so many cases, large windows are made to order so that they fit the room perfectly. This means that your average, standard size blinds or shades will not necessarily fit properly. In order to ensure proper privacy, security, and to keep light out when needed, it’s essential that you choose window coverings that fit your large windows.
