Posted by Marylou Biederman in Interior Design
Selecting window coverings is one of the furnishing task that any new home owner would need to undertake. However, with its diverse choices, people who are new to home decorating might be confused about the type of window coverings they should select. Here is a guide that will introduce some of the common materials used in window decoration and in what situations are they good for.
Cellular shades: this is one of the more unique window coverings. They comprise tiny cell that are blinded together to form a cellular structure. From afar, the structure looks like honeycomb which is why cellular shades are also known as honeycomb shades. They are great for contemporary homes due to their unique and modern looking grain design. They are also one of the best choices in terms of providing insulation for your homes. Their cellular structure creates a powerful insulation layer that can help to maintain the temperature of a room. The more layers of cells they have, the more powerful the insulation is. So, for homes that will experience extreme weather changes, a triple cellular shade provides the best insulation capability.
Wooden shades: these are the classic kind of window covering that can be found in most homes. Their wooden grain brings a touch of nature and they look the best in a classic or natural décor theme. Among the different wood types, bamboo blinds are becoming more popular. This is due to their durability as well being a more eco friendly plant. Unlike other woods, bamboo can be regrown easily, making them a more renewable resource. Bamboo can also withstand extreme conditions, which means blinds made from bamboo are great for outdoors.
Aluminum shades: these metallic window covering are good for wet areas such as bathroom or kitchen. Their material is moisture resistance and will not be damaged by the high moisture present in these areas. They are also the cheapest option among the different window types so they are great for the budget conscious.
