Best Window Treatments for a Living Room
The living room is where a window covering has to do the most: control light and TV glare, offer privacy when you want it, keep the room comfortable in the Houston heat, and look great, because it is the room guests see. Here are the best living room window treatments and how to get all of that at once.
Control glare without going dark
The number-one living room complaint is glare on the TV and screens. Solar screen shades cut that glare and heat while keeping your view and the bright, open feel, ideal for a living room facing or beside a window. Sheer shadings like Silhouette also diffuse harsh sun into a soft glow, killing glare beautifully while keeping light.
Privacy for a front-facing room
Living rooms often face the street, so you want privacy on demand without living in the dark. Top-down bottom-up shades, sheer shadings, and plantation shutters all let you keep light while controlling the view in. Shutters in particular give a premium, tailored look that suits a front room and adds home value.
Beat the heat and protect furniture
A living room with big windows takes real solar heat and UV that fades your sofa, rug, and floors. Cellular shades insulate against the heat to lower cooling costs, and solar screens and UV-filtering fabrics protect your furnishings, important for the room with your nicest pieces in the Houston sun.
Style and the layered look
Because it is a showcase room, the living room is where layering pays off most, functional blinds, shutters, or shades for control, plus drapery panels for warmth, color, and a finished, designer feel. Even on its own, a clean shutter or a well-chosen shade elevates the whole space.
