The Right Window Treatment for Every Kind of Room

Buying window blinds in Mississauga is as easy as visiting Window Blinds Direct online. But, how do you know which treatment is right for each room? From blinds to shutters to shades, we’ve got something for everyone, but customizing your window treatments requires a few considerations, including:

• Theme and style
• Level of privacy
• Natural light filtering
• Accessibility
• Eco-Friendly fittings

Window Blinds Direct is a leading provider of window blinds in Mississauga. We specialize in high-quality, customizable shades, blinds, and shutters. Working with Canadians across Ontario, we constantly strive to provide our customers with the best products and resources.

One of the questions we often receive is, “How do I know which window treatment is right for each room in my home?” If you’re wondering how to cover your windows, here are some tips on how unique room qualities impact window treatments.

Colour Coding Your Home

One of the reasons people choose custom window blinds in Mississauga is to match colour themes in individual rooms. Fortunately, Window Blinds Direct offers a wide range of colours, textures, and patterns in blinds, shades, and shutters. Whether you’re trying to match throw cushions to your blinds, or wall colours to your shutters, there are options for every style and budget.

As you select colours for your rooms, think about long-term commitment. Blinds, if treated well, can last you up to 8-10 years. Choosing a colour and pattern you think will work with your home long-term means less time and money waste picking out different blinds in a year or two. Things to consider while colour shopping include:

• Current trends
• How the light impacts colours
• Coordinating with other colours in the room
• Plans to upgrade or redecorate a room

Sometimes colour trends lead toward loud, bright, and bold. At Window Blinds Direct, we’ve worked with many home and business owners throughout Mississauga. In our professional opinion, it’s usually best to go bold and bright with throw blankets and rugs than blinds and sofas.

Privacy for Different Rooms

Different rooms in your home might require different levels of privacy according to where your windows face. If your front windows face a busy street and there’s no fence or dense growth of trees on your property, window blinds in Mississauga help protect your privacy.

The same can be said about windows on the sides or back of your house. If your home looks into another home, an apartment building, or even the parking area for a business, you’ll likely want extra privacy on those windows as well.

Roller shades are a great source of privacy. With no horizontal slats to peek into, roller shades come down to cover windows in a solid sheet of material. Roller shades come in various colours to match any room’s style and motif.

Knowing Where the Sun Hits Your Home

The sun plays a big role in the window treatment style you use in individual rooms. If your home faces either east or west or has large southerly windows, you can expect to get blasted on one side of your home half the day, and the other, during the second half of the day. Some reasons for better light control with blinds include:

• Eco-friendliness: Letting in more light on cold days and less light on hot days regulates temperature and electricity use in your home.
• Longevity of décor: Keeping light out during peak hours minimizes sun bleaching on furniture, wallpaper, artwork, and rugs.
• Managing glare: If you’re watching television, working online, or playing a video game, glare from the sun is distracting. Blinds help you reduce glare on screens in your home.

Blinds are the perfect way to control light in your home. Not only can you fully open and close them, but you can open the slats to let in only some light, or half-open the blinds to let in more light, but not all the light.

Accessible Blinds for High Windows

Some rooms have higher windows than others. Living rooms with vaulted ceilings, skylight windows, and rooms with lofts often require more accessible window blinds than other rooms in a home. Fortunately, modern technology has made it simple to outfit these rooms with the appropriate window fittings.

Automatic blinds work with a remote, allowing you to open and close your window blinds at the touch of a button. Depending on the technology level, you may also be able to put them on a timer. This is an excellent feature for Canadians with mobility restrictions.

Window Blinds Direct offers different styles and colours of motorized blinds. Not sure if they’re right for you? Our team can walk you through the pros and cons and even come to your home to see if automated blinds would be a good fit for your window types.

Custom Blinds for Unique Windows

Some rooms might require specialty blinds due to their unique shapes and sizes. Not all windows are made equal across Mississauga. You may need custom work for rooms where windows differ in style.

The most common rooms in your home which will require different window treatments are:

• Living room
• Bathroom
• Hallways
• Skylights
• Basement

Window Blinds Direct can help you get the right size and shape window treatment for any window in your home.
