Window Treatments: Getting Both Privacy and Light
It is a common problem for homeowners and decorators alike. How do you dress up windows so you get privacy but still let natural light in? Fortunately, today's selection of window treatments include those that both help ensure your safety and security, and allow for a light-filled room. Take your pick from the following:
Window film fan
For windows that are too small or look awkward with curtains or blinds, privacy window film is the top choice. If you want complete obscurity at daytime, one-way variants are the way to go. From the outside, this type appears like mirrors. Your neighbors will see their reflections but will not get a glimpse of anything inside.
The drawback is you will not achieve the same effect come nighttime. With the lights inside turned on, the entire room becomes visible. Frosted or stained glass designs provide partial privacy when installed at the lower section of the windows.
You can also determine the amount of sunlight that pours in your home. The opaque versions let in a fair amount of somewhat muted light. With frosted window peel, for instance, the opaque kind has a 70 percent light transmission rate. Standard types let in up to 90 percent.
An added bonus: privacy film for windows comes in a variety of colors and patterns, and can be trimmed in any size you want. It would be perfect for a stylish room makeover.
Curtain tricks
Curtains may not be the first type of window treatment that comes to mind but certain materials and designs are equally effective. Think sheer when picking out curtains. Those made of voile or batiste, for instance, allow plenty of light in. But preferably go for variants that are three times wider than your window. The dense gathers will give you sufficient privacy.
Linen curtains are another alternative, just ensure you get the lightweight and unlined versions. These will not admit as much sunlight, but could save you time and cash. If you have double-pane windows, consider café curtains for the lower half. Leave the upper portion exposed so light can still pour in.
Shaded areas
Style is the most important consideration with shades. Roller types made of perforated material can filter sunlight but still give you a view of the outdoors. Pleated varieties with a honeycomb profile are translucent and therefore viable for diffusing light.
Bamboo roman shades, when paired with privacy liners, can completely block the view from outside at nighttime. During daylight hours, you can raise and lower the shades depending on the amount of light you want to shine through. The liner conforms to the fold of the bamboo and often has a neutral appearance.
Blind spots
Blinds are the most flexible option considering you can adjust the angle of slots depending on how much privacy or light you want. Similar to curtains, those made of sheer cloth are your best bet. While both horizontal and vertical blinds can get the job done, the latter is more versatile. They can be opened three ways, moving it along a rail or slanting it to the right or left.
With options ranging from the nontraditional such as window film and the standard coverings, including curtains, blinds and shades, you have plenty to choose from. Just remember to pick a treatment that suits your room's needs and personal taste. This way, you get to enjoy respite from prying passersby and have a light-filled, beautifully decorated room. It is possible to enjoy both worlds.
