Simple Design Principles for Window Treatments

At Renewal by Andersen® of Louisville/Lexington, our replacement windows are designed to look great without any adornment. Still, some homeowners may prefer to install window treatments, whether for aesthetic or privacy purposes.

Read on as we share some tips on the best window treatment option for each room in your home.

Bedroom Windows

Windows in the bedroom need to balance good lighting control and privacy. Double-hung, casement and sliding windows are all good options for the bedroom. Finding the right treatment for these windows follows the same principles. You want your drapes to filter just enough sunlight in the morning to gently wake you up without sacrificing privacy. Having the option to draw curtains open or shut is also a big plus for bedroom window treatments.

Kitchen and Bathrooms

Humidity levels tend to be higher in these spaces, so you want window treatments that are waterproof and resistant to mildew and rot. Poly materials are great for this purpose, but make sure you also take privacy into consideration. You can also make use of patterns and designs on the textile to allow the curtains to let the light in while still giving you a good sense of privacy.

Living Room Treatments

The living room is a space to relax and unwind or to entertain guests. You want to establish a warm, cheerful vibe in this space. Picture windows covered by sheer curtains for a bit of privacy are a great option--this lets you enjoy a panoramic view of the outdoors while also admitting plenty of natural light.At Renewal by Andersen of Louisville/Lexington, we are your trusted local installers of replacement window and design services.
