Home office
Instead of choosing classic window curtains, a better choice for your home office could be roller shades. They give you the possibility of determining the amount of light that goes through the window. Daylight is the most important thing in the home office because you mostly read and work there, which can be hard on the eyes if you don't have the proper amount of light.
Kitchen
A place full of food, appliances, and drinks is a place that most of us love to visit to create and eat some great dishes. To choose proper kitchen shades, you need to pick the ones that are easy to wash. These are the ones made of nylon and cotton.
Hallway
Not too demanding part of the house or a flat when it comes to window shades. If you have windows in the hallway, it is best to cover them with roller shades or window blinds.
Closet and dressing room
If you don't want classic wardrobes in your bedroom, a good solution is a curtain to install behind your bed. For more details contact us, and we will share the idea with you.
Bathroom
Shower booths are usually separated from the rest of the room by solid plexiglass or glass walls, and not that often by curtains. But if you want to make a room warmer and more interesting, the curtains are a good way to go.
Things to consider when choosing the window shades
Take care of the flow of natural light in the room. If there is little light, then be sure to choose lighter colors and materials that transmit light, or more transparent ones.
If the room seems to be monotonous, choose curtains with patterns, or combine two types of shades. Select the shades according to the rest of the interior. For example, avoid white shade with white walls.
Be careful with installing roller shades because they can give the impression of being in an office. This is why taking your time and working with a design consultant is the best solution to finding the right window treatments for you home.
