We all want our privacy. Whether you live in a downtown high-rise or a quiet suburb, protecting your home from unwanted eyes is something worth investing in. With the right tools, this is something that you can easily manage! While most window treatments provide some level of privacy, some are better suited for this occasion than others.
Top-Down, Bottom-Up
When we think about window coverings for privacy, we often think about the window treatment itself; However, adding a specialized operating system can provide even more opportunities for customizable levels of privacy and visibility. Innovative top-down, bottom-up technology allows you to position your blinds to achieve your desired privacy while enjoying natural light.
Adjust your shades from the top to maintain your solitude while still enjoying natural light, or open them from the bottom to take advantage of your gorgeous views while your shades softly diffuse light to create a relaxing amber glow and limit the outside world’s view into your home. The top-down, bottom operating system from Hunter Douglas is compatible with soft shades, cellular shades, woven woods, roller shades, and Roman shades.
Window Shadings
Window shadings get their name from their dual sheer and shading capabilities. Featuring both opaque and sheer bands, window shadings provide customizable levels of privacy and light filtration. Adjust the panels to create your perfect ambiance, and you won’t need to sacrifice natural light or privacy. You can have your light and your quiet too!
For a classic look reminiscent of Roman shades, try Pirouette® window shadings from Hunter Douglas. Elegant vanes fold or stretch to reveal as much light and view-through as you’d like. For anyone wanting a more modern look, try Silhouette® window shadings. S-shaped vanes float between two panels, giving you ultimate control over your privacy by tilting the vanes as desired.
Banded Shades
Similar to window shadings, banded shades combine opaque and sheer materials to create the perfect blend of privacy and visibility. Fixed on one continuous shade, alternating panels allow you to adjust them to your satisfaction. Overlap the panels for increased view-through or stagger them to achieve more privacy.
Designer banded shades are an excellent option for any home because they come in many colors and textures. Consult your local JC Licht experts to discover a style that blends perfectly with your existing decor!
Drapery
We all know and love blackout curtains. They are one of the most effective window coverings for privacy and room darkening. Made with thick, luxurious materials like velvet, jacquard, and refined basics, drapes are ideal for bedrooms— combine them with other window treatments for ultimate levels of customization and privacy!
