The Guide To Window Treatments For Your Living Room In Riverside California

April 22, 2016

The living room gives you a space where you display your decorating style. And beautiful windows are an opportunity to find a stunning window treatment to accent your furniture and highlight the window’s shape.

You’ll want to take into consideration the shape of your windows since many living rooms have specialty shaped or beautiful arched windows. Another thing to consider is how you want to frame the view outside, how much light comes through them, and how much privacy you want. Your living room window treatments should give you complete control over light and privacy so that your guests feel welcome.

Your options for living room window treatments in Riverside include:

Living Room Shutters In Riverside

White plantation living room shutters 

In contrast to draperies, blinds, and shades, living room shutters highlight your triangular, octagonal, arched, circular windows. They can be even mounted on french doors. They’re custom made to your window’s specifications. Each corner, angle, and curve is preserved. And your guests will appreciate that you thought about their privacy - and will take note of your eye for architecture.

If your living room is formal, choose window treatments that are more sophisticated and elegant. Plantation shutters are known for their broad horizontal louvers enclosed in a frame. Whether you choose weathered reclaimed wood, a traditional white paint for Polywood®, or a deep stain for Ovation® wood, the resulting custom window treatment matches your living room’s décor.

For a living room that will be used more for entertainment, how easy it is to operate the window treatment has as much weight as how beautiful it looks. You can adjust the shutter louvers using a tilt rod to get more or less light. And you can swing the panels completely open to access the window.

Living room shutters keep you and your guests pleasantly warm throughout the evening. Simply close the shutters tightly for temperature control. And with Polywood shutters for living room shutters, you’re also taking advantage of the resulting energy savings.

Barn Doors For Living Room Windows

Sliding barn doors as window treatments bring out the rich color palette of your living room. Pick midnight black paint or an espresso stain to contrast white walls and light colored furniture. If your living room has eclectic furniture or dark colored walls, a barn door with snow white paint or a fruitwood stain might work best.

Enjoy the landscape outside the window when you glide the barn door panels on a track. Once the panels are on the sides of the living room window, they become standalone pieces of art, framing the view beautifully.

Shades For Living Room Windows
