How To Choose Bedroom Window Treatments In New York

When looking for a bedroom window treatment in New York, energy efficiency, color, installation, privacy, and light control are key things to consider. What’s the best choice between plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, blinds, and shades? Consider these 5 things when ordering bedroom window treatments in New York City, NY.

Privacy

Privacy is the primary criteria for choosing bedroom window treatments. Blinds, shades, and drapes may provide you with an adequate shield from curious passersby. But their generally sheer material means silhouettes and shadows are noticeable.

Plantation shutters and sliding barn doors, conversely allow you the most privacy. The plantation shutter louvers can be adjusted to close all the way. And you can rest assured that there are no gaps on the sides of the window since bedroom shutters are mounted with a frame. With sliding barn doors, all you have to do to get more privacy is slide the panels closed. A slight gap on the sides of the window may occur depending on how your sliding barn doors are set up.

Light Control

When you want to sleep in, block out an annoying street light, or ignore the full moon, you need a bedroom window treatment that can block light. Blinds are not the best at darkening the room. The material the slats are made from is usually pretty thin. And you can still see light coming in from the sides.

Some shades may result in enough room darkening. And some blackout curtains can be effective at controlling the light. Some blackout curtains succeed in controlling the light. And certain kinds of shades might provide you with adequate room darkening. Sliding barn doors are built from solid wood, can block the light head on. However the gap on the sides of the panels does not seal off all the light.

All three plantation shutters are mounted with a frame that seals off any stray sun rays. And their louvers can tilt flat, creating the darkest possible space. Both Polywood® and Ovation® wood shutters are made from louvers that can block light when closed. But reclaimed wood shutters are likely to have holes and markings that let in light. Now you can sleep in every day of the week with these bedroom plantation shutters!
