Living Room Window Treatments

Factors to consider when choosing Living Room window coverings:
  1. Styles that match your living room decor
  2. Creating an inviting space
  3. Do you prefer to have full view of the outdoors during the day?
  4. How much privacy do you require in that room?
  5. The direction and intensity of the sun on that side of the house.

    Will intense UV rays damage furniture and flooring over time?
    Will bright sunlight interfere with daytime television viewing?

The living room plays hosts for many parties, and family gatherings, and is the centerpiece of the home. The living room is also a haven from busy life, a place to relax and unwind with a good book or your favorite TV show or movie. When choosing blinds for a space as versatile as your living room, consider not just your personal style and the aesthetics of the window treatments but also the functionality of that space.

They are casual and relaxed, yet functional and sophisticated.  Wood Blinds and Shutters are durable, provide privacy and tilt for customized light control.  Our eco-friendly woven wood shades with privacy liner are a stylish and functional option that offers privacy and light control with the casual beauty and warmth of natural materials.

Living Room Blinds & Window Treatments – Complete Guide

What Are Living Room Blinds & Window Treatments?

Living room window treatments include blinds, shades, curtains or drapery, and shutters. These solutions shape light, privacy, and style in different ways. Blinds use tilting slats for granular control. Shades range from roller and solar to cellular, Roman, zebra or dual, and sheer fabrics that filter or block light at varying levels. Curtains and drapery introduce softness, height, and texture and are ideal for layering. Shutters add a timeless architectural frame with precise control and excellent privacy.

Best Choices for Living Room Windows

For a curated balance of style, glare control, and day-to-night flexibility, consider sheer shades that deliver soft daylight with view-through and tilt-to-privacy function. Solar roller shades reduce glare and UV while preserving the view, which is perfect for TV rooms and cityscapes. Textured roller shades offer a clean, minimal look that pairs beautifully with drapery for added warmth. Roman shades bring tailored folds and designer weaves that elevate cozy, sophisticated spaces. Zebra or dual shades switch quickly between view-through and privacy with alternating sheer and solid bands. Cellular or honeycomb shades add insulation and sound dampening to large, open-concept rooms. Faux wood blinds remain versatile and budget-friendly while allowing you to angle slats to tame glare.  Drapery panels layered over shades add height, texture, and optional blackout for movie nights.

Modern rooms feel effortless with solar or textured rollers, traditional spaces lean elevated with Roman shades plus drapery, coastal interiors glow with sheer shades and linen drapes, industrial lofts thrive on zebra or dual shades, and family-friendly setups stay practical with faux wood blinds paired with blackout drapery.

Features and Benefits of Living Room Blinds & Window Treatments

The right living room treatment controls light and reduces glare to protect screens and artwork while easing eye strain. Privacy stays flexible from daytime view-through to full blackout for cinema-style evenings. Energy efficiency improves with insulating cells and lined fabrics, which also enhance acoustics. Design impact comes from fabric textures, louver sizes, pleats, and finishes that set the room’s character. Convenience features include cordless and motorized lifts with remote, app, or voice control, which are especially helpful on tall or multiple windows. Layering shades with drapery combines performance with softness for a polished, designer finish.

What Colors Work Best for Living Room Blinds?

Matching the window trim in white or off-white creates a seamless look and visually enlarges the space. Echoing a secondary palette color from a rug, throw, or artwork makes the room feel curated and intentional. Warm neutrals like greige, oat, and sand complement wood floors and brass or bronze finishes for a cozy mood. Cool tones such as light gray and stone steady the intensity of south-facing light. Darker choices like charcoal or espresso frame modern spaces and help reduce screen glare. For solar shades, consider openness between three and ten percent depending on view, privacy needs, and daytime brightness.

Order fabric swatches and evaluate them in morning, noon, and evening light because natural light shifts color temperature and perceived brightness throughout the day.

How Do I Measure and Install Living Room Window Treatments?

Blinds To Go offers a professional measurement service to guarantee precision and peace of mind. Their experts measure down to the millimeter and advise on mounting style, so you know your chosen product will fit perfectly.

Decide on an inside mount for a built-in, minimal look or an outside mount to maximize coverage and hide out-of-square frames. For an inside mount, measure the window opening width at the top, middle, and bottom and use the smallest result to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. For an outside mount, add two to three inches of width on each side to reduce light gaps and, for blackout conditions, add more when space allows.

Blinds To Go provides an installation service carried out by trained professionals. Their team ensures brackets are aligned, headrails are secure, and all safety standards are met. With expert installers, you’ll have blinds that not only look beautiful but also function smoothly from day one.
