Decorating Advice by Type of Room
- Kitchen:
- Windows by a sink should be easy to clean. Wood and aluminum blinds are the easiest to clean. The blinds that have smooth painted finishes, as opposed to rough, textured finishes (sandblasted) are the easiest to clean.
- Master Bedroom:
-
Black out shades are very popular, such as Eclipse honeycomb shades, and special horizontal blinds (De-Light) without the route holes are wonderful.
- Master Bath:
-
Humidity doesn’t ordinarily adversely affect any quality window treatments, even wood blinds. However, if the window treatment gets direct water pressure, vinyl is best.
For additional privacy, consider those blinds without route holes (De-Light). If you’re using vertical blinds, then consider the inherent approximately 1/2" gap below the vertical vanes near the sill, and determine if that is enough privacy for you-especially if the window is near your bath tub.
- Nursery:
-
Of utmost concern is safety. Make sure your product has the latest safety features, and that cords are not near cribs. See our related safety article. Also be sure that if you get vinyl miniblinds that they are not the ones with hazardous lead. No Brainer has NEVER sold those. See our related Lead Poisoning article.
Darkening the room is usually a common goal, so the blackout Eclipse shades are perfect. Blinds with the De-Light feature, where the route holes are not present, are also fine options.
- Media Room:
-
Blackout shades such as the Eclipse honeycomb are most common. Some can even be made with side rails to eliminate all light. The De-Light feature should be added to wood and aluminum blinds so that the light does not pierce through the route holes.
- Study:
- For a tailored look that’s not too fussy, shutters and wood blinds are appropriate. Also see the related paragraph in this section regarding consistency for the front of your house.
- Living Room:
-
For an elegant room, consider sheer draperies. They are still in vogue and popular. (We don’t sell sheers through No Brainer but do through our design division in Houston, TX at Laura’s Draperies). Our designers frequently use them to camouflage less elegant unattractive blinds.
