Best Shades for New Homes
Purchasing a new home is an exciting adventure. This is especially true when it comes to decorating your home to your heart’s desire. While you might have a relatively easy time finding the flooring, furniture, and artwork you like for your home, if you find that you are stumped when finding the perfect window treatments, then you are not alone! Since the world of window treatments is vast, it can be overwhelming to find the window treatments that best match what you want visually and have all the functions you need. That is why we are here to help! We dive into the best shades for different rooms in your home and discuss their benefits.
Best Shades for Living Rooms
Living rooms are a place for lively conversations and hosting friends and family throughout the year. They are also spaces where we want ample, natural sunlight to fill the room. Of course, just because you want to enjoy some sunlight doesn’t mean you want to sacrifice privacy, shade, or UV protection. Silhouette® Window Shadings from Hunter Douglas let you enjoy filtered light and a daytime view without compromising your privacy. Plus, with UV protection, these shades will keep your new home protected from sun damage. Available in horizontal, vertical, and uniquely shaped cuts, Silhouette® Window Shadings can be placed on nearly any window in your home.
Best Shades for Bedrooms
Bedrooms are a place where you want to unwind after a long day and wake up refreshed. This can be prevented if you don’t have the proper window treatments. In fact, trace amounts of light from street lamps, car headlamps, or even the moon can creep through your windows and cause you not to enter REM sleep. This will result in you feeling groggy the next day. That is why one of the best shades for new homes involves room-darkening or blackout shades. Duette® Honeycomb Shades not only provide proper insulation at your windows for a comfortable bedroom all year long, but they also offer room-darkening opacities that block out unwanted light when you want to catch up on some Zs.
Best Shades for Bathrooms
Bathrooms often have a lot of hard features, such as tile or porcelain. That is why one of the best shades for new homes that want to soften their bathroom is Vignette® Roman Shades by Hunter Douglas. Offering a minimalistic, sculpted look and over 25 fabric and color options, these shades offer a beautiful, soft style in your bathroom. You can pair them with our Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation system for hands-free operation and on-demand privacy.
