Certain rooms in a home benefit from privacy, and others require it. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and any room that faces the street or a neighbor’s window are all spaces that require privacy-centric window treatments. When you’re picking out a window treatment, it’s important to keep privacy requirements in mind. Check out the best window treatments for privacy in this helpful guide.
Floor-length draperies
Floor-length draperies are perfect for first-floor and street-facing rooms as well as bedrooms. They’re dramatic and stylish, but they also serve a purpose. You can easily open and close them, so you won’t have to sacrifice style and lighting for privacy. When you need or desire privacy, simply drawing the drapes closed will do the trick. You can also tailor them to your specific home, décor style, color scheme, and privacy and lighting preferences.
Privacy sheers
Privacy sheers are so private that they have “privacy” right in their name. Privacy sheers are the perfect fit for sliding glass doors or large windows. They’re vertical fabric panes that can rotate to offer the same privacy as closed drapes. Privacy sheers allow you to fully customize your living space without making major updates. They’re sleek and tailored to fit each individual home.
Room-darkening roller shades
Room-darkening roller shades are great option for bedrooms. When the natural light is just too much and privacy is an important factor, room-darkening shades are the way to go. They completely block out the light—sunlight and streetlamps alike—from outdoors. They also prevent passersby from seeing into a home’s windows.
