Our Favourite Living Room Window Treatments

Jason Roellchen |

The living room is a place that sees a number of family activities over the course of the day. By day, it’s a blanket fort village for the kids–and later that evening, hosts a relaxing night of wine and cheese with the neighbours. It needs to be versatile and adapt with ease. We know exactly how to master the ever-changing room by picking the right living room window treatments. Let’s show you our favourites!


That View

Do you have large windows in your family room that really are show-stoppers? Ones that give you a great view outside and make the list of the top 5 things you love most about your house? We thought so! Living room window treatments can make the best atmosphere, created to meet your family’s needs.

The right window coverings will block direct light or simply cut the glare. In addition, they will offer an incredibly beautiful backdrop if they are opened or closed. Being able to enjoy the landscape outside, but also knowing you have access to light control and privacy, gives you the best of both worlds.


Save Your Comfort 

When the outside weather is opposite of the inside, it can be bothersome to stay comfortable. No one wants to feel cold drafts when they want to be cozy. It’s possible you're experiencing energy loss right at the window. Even up to 40% loss! No matter the season, it’s important for your family to be comfortable in the living room so we suggest energy efficient window coverings. They are like a force field barrier between the exterior and interior. They regulate the interior air and allow you to keep your comfortable atmosphere consistent.

Lighting That’s Just Right

Too much light can be a bad thing. And also, too little can be dreadful. Finding just the right light control is our expertise, and we have a few options we recommend. First, a shade fabric that isn’t completely see-through. This will give a soft glow to the space but not darken too much from that beautiful light. If the very top of your tall windows go to the ceiling it’s okay to leave them partially bare. It will give the right amount of light without being too harsh.
