Living Room Window Treatment Ideas

Movie Nights and Game Day Just Got Way Better

When looking to update your living room's window treatments, it's essential to think of how your family uses the living room. Are you looking for more light as you and the family spend a Sunday afternoon reading? Do you want to block out the sun for an early movie night? At 3 Day Blinds, we have high-quality custom window treatments perfect for whatever your window treatment needs are in your living room.

4 Ideas for Living Room Window Treatments

You may not think of window treatments when you start updating your home, but they are a great way to make a statement in a room. 3 Day Blinds has more than 40 years of experience providing custom window treatments for living rooms. We've seen it all when it comes to what people want to do with their window treatments, including finding window treatments for your living room.

1. Cellular Shades

Does your living room get too much natural sunlight? Do you find that your living room has a hard time staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter? Cellular Shades for your living room may be the solution! Cellular Shades have hexagonal channels that create a layer of insulation between your windows and your home. These shades are commonly referred to as Honeycomb Shades because of the hexagonal shape of the channels.

Cellular shades come in various opacities, so if you want to reap the benefits of their insulation without completely darkening the room, we offer sheer fabrics to help you keep your view!

Because cellular shades offer insulation, they can also help you save on your home's energy bill. And who doesn't love saving a little bit of money?

2. Roller Shades

Is your living room feeling a little tired? Do you feel like it needs a modern update? Custom Roller Shades for your living room could do just the trick. Roller shades are one of our best sellers because of their versatility. Like cellular shades, roller shades have a wide array of fabrics and patterns available for any design style.

We manufacture our roller shades with cassettes color-coordinated to your fabric selection. These cassettes will hide your roller shades when open, giving your living room window treatments a sleek modern look.

Like many of our product lines, we also offer motorized Roller Shades. Motorized by 3 Day Blinds is an amazing way to make your living room's window treatments even smarter. With motorized blinds, you can easily automate your window treatments to open and close as you please, whether to let in natural light, or keep out the sun's heat.

You can even set a schedule for your window treatments to open and close, so you don't have to worry about manually opening and closing them - just set it and forget it! Your window treatments are sure to wow your guests when they come over, and create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. Motorized window treatments are an easy and efficient way to upgrade your living space.

3. Soft Roman Shades

Another option to consider when designing your living room's window treatments is how to bring visual warmth into your space. Soft Roman Shades are an excellent option for your living room window treatments. We make our Soft Roman Shades out of similar materials as our drapery panels.

Choosing Soft Roman Shades is like hanging a beautiful tapestry in each of your windows. Your guest's eyes will naturally find their beauty.

Soft Roman Shades, like cellular shades, are great for rooms needing help controlling the temperature. The layer of fabric between the window and the room will help keep the room feeling the right temperature no matter the time of year.

4. Woven Wood Shades

Maybe your living room window treatments are feeling a little flat, or there might be something missing from the windows. Woven Wood Shades are a great way to break up the monotony of a room by adding texture to your room.

Woven Wood Shades made of bamboo, grasses, jute, and other natural products bring a touch of the outdoors into your home.
Bring a beachy design to the bay window in your living room with woven wood shades. You'll be ready for a tropical beverage and relax every time you look at them.

No matter your style, we have a window treatment for you. Meet with one of our locally-based design consultants today to find out which window treatment is suitable for your living room!
