When it comes to deciding on the right window treatments, function should always come first. If you need privacy or sun control decide first which window treatment will solve that, then look at what else will add the color, pattern or texture that will visually the room.
Solar shades are for rooms that need some sun and light control. You may choose the level of transparency and light control. They are available as cordless shades, with cords, or motorized.
In the room below, solar shades were chosen for their function – they filter the sun without blocking all the light or the view. Stationary curtain panels were chosen for the look – to “frame” the window, add softness and complete the look.
Below, the shades are still translucent but a darker color was chosen to blend with the stained trim. Curtain panels add visual height and softness.
In the sunroom below, they were chosen for their function and there was no need to pair them up with another window treatment.
There are many other options for shades and they have come a looong way in the way they operate and materials available.
If you would like to know the best window treatment for your home, schedule an in-person or virtual consultation…and love the home you live in!
