The Best Window Treatments for Privacy
Here at Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we know that most of our customers look for window treatments that can increase the privacy in their homes. Many patio homes and other new home developments have smaller properties, so people may have clear and close visual into neighbors’ homes.
If you’re looking to increase your privacy through window coverings, rest assured: With today’s wide variety of window treatments and installation options, you can have privacy without completely blocking your source of natural light.
Blinds Versus Shades
Shades are made of solid fabric, while blinds have slats that can be tilted to varying degrees. All of our blinds, including wood blinds or faux wood blinds, are designed to let you tilt the slats so that no one can see in, but you can still let some light into the room. Shades, on the other hand, can only be down, up, or somewhere in between.
Top-Down/Bottom-Up
This innovation allows you to open your shades from either the top or the bottom, which allows you to let in light from the top of your window while completely blocking the bottom part of the window. This style is especially good for windows that are taller than they are wide. Top-down/bottom-up shades are great for behind bathtubs and in bedrooms.
Custom Drapery
Custom drapery can help provide privacy while adding a personalized touch of style to your room. Add drapery to existing blinds and shades for more privacy when you need it, or add drapery panels to your window coverings to block light and provide privacy at the sides of your windows. We offer a wide variety of styles, fabrics, and patterns to help you create beautiful custom drapery.
Blackout Shades
For absolute privacy and room-darkening, choose blackout shades. Many of our window covering styles are available in blackout fabric. We also offer dual-shade options, where you can put a room-darkening roller shade toward the window and a sheer shade facing the room, each operating separately on the same cassette.
