Blinds are the most popular window treatment thanks to their clean design and full light filtering capabilities. But we know that sometimes homeowners are looking for something a little different to make their house a home. Here are some of our other favorite window covering options that you should consider.

Interior Shutters

If you still want full light filtering capabilities but want something a little more upscale, interior shutters might be right for you. The slatted design provides the same functionality as blinds, but is mounted directly to your window frame. There are plenty of different options and customizations to choose from, giving you endless design opportunities. 

Their charm and curb appeal makes these window treatments very desirable, and home buyers are willing to pay more for them! So while interior shutters are the most expensive option, they are the only window treatment that actually adds value to your home, making them a great long-term investment in your home. 

Vertical Panels

Another option for a slatted window treatment is vertical panels. These statement-making window coverings are an upscale version of vertical blinds. The wide panels slide back and forth on their casing and are a good option for large or oversized windows and modern tastes. 

Roman Shades

If you want classic design and a softer window treatment, roman shades never go out of style! But these window coverings aren’t just for traditional style homes. Roman shades come in different pleat styles, from soft and voluminous, to a more structured pleat that is perfect for modern home designs. The near endless choices of fabric, colors, and patterns means there is something for everyone, whether you want soft and neutral, or bold and vibrant! 

Cellular Shades

If you are looking for energy savings, look no further than cellular shades. Also known as honeycomb shades because of their pocketed design, cellular shades offer the most insulation and energy savings of any window covering. But don’t worry, these aren’t the same cellular shades your grandmother had. These more modern window treatments provide a sleek option in endless color options and multiple layers of pockets. 

Natural Shades

Looking to bring a touch of the beauty of nature into your home? Natural shades are made of materials such as bamboo, rattan, or reed. They roll up into a neat little stack when open but when drawn, provide warmth and texture to your home. With a variety of materials, colors, and textures, nothing brings style and beauty into your home quite like natural shades!
