Do You Need Basement Window Treatments?
If you have a finished basement, your basement will look and feel unfinished without basement window coverings. Even for an unfished basement, they can add color and warmth to the space. At The Blind Alley in Bellevue, WA, we can help you find the best curtains or shades for your basement windows. We'll help you consider several elements to determine the best match for your style and needs. Here are a few reasons why you need basement window treatments.
1: Basement Window Coverings Help a Basement Look Finished
Window treatments make a room look more put together; the same goes for your basement. It will look like it's missing something if it's finished but lacks window treatments. Along with rugs and artwork, basement window coverings can make the space more comfortable, particularly a basement bedroom. They can prevent people from seeing in, and they can cover the egress window bay, making your guests forget they're in the basement.
2: Add Color to Your Basement with Basement Window Shades
Basements get the short end of the stick in terms of color. Using colorful window curtains or roller shades can change that. Select a pattern or a design with colors you can add throughout. Choose colors used upstairs to make your home more cohesive, or you can select something else entirely. Some basement window coverings you might consider to add color are:
- Designer Roller Shades are great for basement windows because they're available in over 370 colors and fabrics, including solid, textured materials, patterns, nature-inspired designs, and geometric shapes.
- Drapery is available in over 4,000 color and fabric combinations, so there's no limit to what you can do. For basement window curtains, select something bold or a color that complements some artwork you plan to hang.
3: Infuse Your Basement with Warmth
Finished basements can still be cool, especially in the colder months. It's the reason we add rugs to the floor. Basement window coverings are an easy way to add warmth to the space. The colors can help, but so can the fabrics. Selecting thick, warm fabrics with a lot of texture can make the basement feel warmer and more inviting. Up against a cold wall, this is particularly important. Consider:
- Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades are available in 25 luxurious colors and fabrics. The classic style uses folds of fabric to add warmth and depth to windows. Bonus: the thick fabric can also help absorb some noise.
- Consider thick, sustainable fabrics like wool, cotton, and linen for basement window curtains. These add visual warmth because of the texture, and they also feel warm.
