How To Select Bedroom Window Treatments In Indianapolis

When searching for a window covering for your bedroom in Indianapolis, installation, privacy, light control, energy efficiency, and color are key criteria to assess. What’s the best choice between shades, plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, and blinds? Keep these 5 things in mind when deciding on bedroom window treatments in Indianapolis, IN.

Privacy

Privacy is the main criteria for choosing bedroom window treatments. Drapes, blinds, and shades can be an adequate screen from curious passersby. But their often thin material means shadows and silhouettes can still be seen.

Plantation shutters and sliding barn doors, conversely give you the most privacy. The shutter louvers can be adjusted and closed all the way. And you can rest assured that there are no gaps where the louvers meet the side of the window since bedroom shutters are mounted with a frame. With sliding barn doors, all you have to do to get more privacy is slide the panels closed. Depending on how the barn doors are mounted, there might be a slight gap on the sides of the window.

Light Control

For all the times 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 darkening the room. The material the slats are made from is usually pretty thin. And light still filters in from the sides.

Some shades might provide you with adequate light blocking. And some blackout curtains succeed in reducing the brightness in the room. Some blackout curtains succeed in reducing the brightness in the room. And certain kinds of shades may provide you with enough room darkening. Sliding barn doors are made from solid wood panels that may block the light head on. However the gap on the sides of the panels does not seal off the light completely.

All plantation shutters are installed with a frame that seals off any stray sun rays. And their louvers can tilt flat, to create the darkest possible room. Both Ovation® wood and Polywood® shutters louvers can be closed to block out light. Keep in mind reclaimed wood shutters are likely to have markings and holes that let in light. Now you can sleep in any day with these bedroom plantation shutters!

Color

Bedroom window treatments come in an array of colors to complement your décor.
