Blackout Velvet Curtains

Bedrooms and bathrooms usually require more privacy than other rooms.  Blackout curtains are great for bedrooms.  To ensure the maximum amount of privacy,  select window treatments at least 12 inches wider than your window to block as much light as possible.  Blackout solar shades and cellular shades are also another great layering window treatment when decorating bedrooms or bathrooms.

Family rooms, studies, office space, and kitchens usually require less privacy.  Here is the perfect place to use single window treatment styles.  Decorative valances work great in kitchen areas.  They are installed above the window which allows plenty of light to come into the room.  The high placement is helpful in keeping the window treatments clean.  Also this allows easy access to open the window as needed.  Roman shades are great for office spaces and studies as these treatments are easily operable for more or less privacy as needed.  Most people prefer natural light in there family rooms.  If you have plenty of windows in this space, this is a great opportunity to let loads of natural light in with simple linen drapes or minimal lined curtains.

When you keep the focus on privacy needs, it is easy to find the perfect window treatments for your space.
