How To Select Bedroom Window Treatments In Cleveland

When looking for a window covering for your bedroom in Cleveland, color, installation, privacy, light control, and energy efficiency are some criteria to assess. What’s the best window treatment between plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, blinds, and shades? Think about these 5 things when choosing bedroom window treatments in Cleveland, Ohio.

Privacy

Privacy is the most important reason to buy bedroom window treatments. Drapes, blinds, and shades might be an adequate screen from nosy neighbors. But their often sheer material means shadows and silhouettes may still be visible.

Sliding barn doors and plantation shutters, on the other hand, allow you the most privacy. The plantation shutter louvers can be shifted so that they close completely. And bedroom shutters are installed with a frame to ensure there’s no gaps on the sides of the window. With sliding barn doors, just slide the panels closed for more privacy. But a slight gap on the sides of the window may be of concern based on the way your sliding barn doors are mounted.

Light Control

When you want to block out an obnoxious street light, ignore the full moon, or sleep in, you need a light-blocking bedroom window treatment. Blinds are not ideal for keeping the room dark. The material they’re made of is usually thin. And you can still see light coming in from the sides.

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

The frame that comes standard with all three plantation shutter types seals off sun rays. And their louvers can tilt flat, to create the darkest possible space. Both Ovation® wood and Polywood® shutters are made from louvers that can block light when closed. Keep in mind reclaimed wood shutters might have holes and markings that let in light.

Color

Bedroom window treatments can be ordered in an array of colors to complement your décor. For the warmth of wood, install reclaimed wood shutters, sliding barn door shutters, wood blinds, woven wood shades, or Ovation wood plantation shutters. If you’re going for a more contemporary look, cellular shades, Polywood plantation shutters, or metal blinds are your better choice.
