Your Guide to Choosing the Right Style of Window Treatments

Window treatments offer more than just utility purposes for your home. In reality, window fashions create opportunities to express your sense of style while adding value to your space. Whether you are faced with large, floor-to-ceiling windows, arches, or just a simple bedroom glass pane window, there is a style out there perfect for you. If you’ve decided to revamp your home’s windows, you’ve likely run into a dilemma surrounding just how many options there are on the market today. Shades, shutters, vertical blinds–how do you know which window treatments are suitable for your home? That’s the question the team at NH Blinds is here to tackle today!

Which Window Fashion Is the Best for My Home?

For energy efficiency

Living in New England, we all know just how valuable a well-insulated home can be. In fact, did you know that your home’s window treatments can be responsible for up to 30% of lost energy each year? That can add up to costly electric and gas bills over time. Investing in energy-efficient window treatments upfront can actually save you money down the road, all while creating a more comfortable home to spend time in. Of all window fashions, cellular shades and honeycomb shades are the most popular option for energy efficiency. An expertly designed interior comprised of pockets traps air that would otherwise escape through your windows, improving insulating action. This results in warmer winters and cooler summers. Enjoy a beautiful view with crisp, uniform pleats in a variety of colors and patterns.

For classic style

If you like to use your home as a canvas for expressing your sense of personal style, you will love the versatility offered by Roman shades and roller shades. These fabric window treatments provide an alternative to blinds while offering comfortable privacy and light control. Explore designer colors and patterns that span light filtering to room darkening opacities.

For easy operation

Modern window fashions are engineered to make your life easier—from cordless and touch-operated styles to even motorized systems. Automated window treatments integrate seamlessly into your home for blinds and shades you can control from virtually anywhere. Tilt your blinds with the sound of your voice or schedule your shades to rise when you wake up for work. Motorized window treatments work in tandem with your smartphone or a sleek remote for innovative control with an unobstructed view free from wires, batteries, and cords.

For sticking to a budget

Often, one of the cheapest options for protecting your home from excessive UV rays and sun damage is mini blinds or Venetian blinds. Horizontal and vertical blinds alike come in several materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, or metal, and sometimes even fabric. Of these options, vinyl and aluminum are popular choices for outfitting homes without breaking the bank. However, low in cost does not mean you have to sacrifice style. Modern blinds intersect durability and style with affordability. Explore a vast selection of on-trend colors with slats designed to eliminate light gaps and cord holes. Smooth, cordless operation makes them a solid choice for homes with pets and children where safety is of the utmost importance.
