When it comes to designing a home that’s both beautiful and functional, window treatments play a vital role in how each space feels and performs.
At The Shade Place, we specialize in helping homeowners find the perfect custom shades for every room. Today, we’re exploring two of the most important spaces in your home: bedrooms and kitchens. While both deserve thoughtful design, they have very different needs when it comes to light control, privacy, and style.
Keep reading to find out what to consider when selecting window treatments for each.
Bedroom Window Treatments: Comfort, Control, and Calm
Your bedroom is your retreat. It’s where you rest, recharge, and begin and end your day. The shades you choose should support that with maximum light control, privacy, and a soft, restful aesthetic.
Key Priorities:
- Room darkening or blackout options for uninterrupted sleep
- Cordless or automated systems for safety and convenience
- Insulating fabrics to maintain comfortable temperatures
- A calm, cohesive palette that supports relaxation
Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades are a popular choice for bedrooms. Not only do they offer excellent insulation, but they’re also available with LightLock™ technology for unparalleled darkness. Pair them with PowerView® Automation, and you can wake up to gentle natural light—no alarm clock required.
Kitchen Window Treatments: Light, Durability, and Easy Maintenance
The kitchen is a hub of activity and one of the most used—and mess-prone—spaces in any home. Your window treatments should stand up to moisture, grease, and sunlight while still looking polished and stylish.
Key Priorities:
- Moisture- and stain-resistant materials
- Easy-to-clean finishes
- Light-filtering options to illuminate the space naturally
- Sleek profiles that don’t interfere with cabinetry or fixtures
We often recommend Designer Roller Shades or Modern Roman Shades for kitchens. These styles offer minimal bulk, easy operation, and fabric options designed to resist stains and moisture. For even greater functionality, consider PowerView® Automation, so you can control your shades with a voice command or app—no need to touch with messy hands.
Why It Matters to Customize Room by Room
Many homeowners make the mistake of choosing the same window treatment style throughout their home. But thoughtful, room-specific selections elevate the experience of each space. At The Shade Place, our expert design consultants work with you room-by-room to find the ideal shade solution that balances form, function, and everyday livability
