Basement Window Treatments Are A Must-Have
Why do you need window treatments for your basement windows? You need them for the same reasons you use window treatments throughout the rest of your home. Window coverings are essential for privacy, light control, and security. They also protect interior items from UV damage, keep your home cooler, and add aesthetic value. Design 5 Ltd. has a wide selection of fantastic basement window treatments with ideas for every style.
Shades for Slanted Windows
Oddly shaped windows are a challenge many homeowners face when shopping for basement window coverings. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers many window coverings that are made to fit angled windows. Many Hunter Douglas window coverings that are available in slanted styles can also be made to accommodate round windows. Choose from the following styles for your slanted windows:
Questions & Considerations
Humidity and ventilation are vital factors to consider when outfitting basement windows, especially in Hawaii. If dampness isn’t an issue you struggle with, your options for window coverings are wide open. Humid basements need window treatments that can withstand moisture, like ones made from vinyl, faux wood, or composite material.
Another thing to think about is what you use your basement for. Basements that function as a home theater or gym will have different window covering needs than ones that serve as a playroom for young children. Home theaters require blackout shades, while gyms fare better with a light-filtering or sheer covering to provide privacy. If your basement is a space your kids frequent, you’ll want to go with something sturdy and cordless, like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters or Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds.
The size of your windows is another consideration when choosing basement window treatments. Small windows look more polished with treatments that can be mounted inside the window frame, like roller or Roman shades. To make small windows appear more prominent, you can hang blinds or shades above the frame and extend past the sides. This trick, known as the high and wide technique, makes windows seem larger and ceilings taller.
You can draw attention to your basement windows with textured treatments like Duette® Cellular Shades or Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. The sleek style of Pirouette® Sheer Shades is another attention-grabber. These shades diffuse natural light into a welcoming glow and offer outstanding protection from UV damage.
