Best Window Coverings for Every Room
Living Room
The living room is a space where you often entertain guests and relax with family. Therefore, it’s important to choose window coverings that provide both privacy and light control. Some popular options for living room window coverings include sheer curtains, Roman shades, and motorized blinds.
Bedroom
In the bedroom, privacy is usually the main concern. Blackout curtains or blinds are a great choice for bedrooms as they block out sunlight and provide maximum privacy. Additionally, layered window coverings like curtains with sheers can be used to control the amount of light entering the room.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, window coverings need to be functional and easy to clean. Faux wood blinds or roller shades are popular choices for kitchens as they are durable and can resist moisture and heat. Additionally, window treatments that allow for good visibility while maintaining privacy, such as café curtains or solar shades, can be ideal for kitchen windows.
Bathroom
In the bathroom, privacy is crucial, but it’s also important to choose window coverings that can withstand high humidity and moisture. Options like vinyl shutters or moisture-resistant blinds are suitable for bathroom windows. If you prefer a softer look, consider using frosted window film or textured glass to maintain privacy.
Conclusion
Choosing the right window coverings for each room in your home is essential for both privacy and style. Consider the specific needs of each room and opt for window treatments that offer the desired level of light control, privacy, and functionality.

Great video…….
Question: My wash room has a large teal colour closet.
The wall is light grey.
What's the best colour blinds could I use at the windows?
There are two windows.
Hi Julie. I have a beach house whereby the entire 20’ wall is sliding glass doors. I do not want to loose the water view! There is enough of a balcony that I do not get direct sun, but the temp of the room is significantly different than the rest of the house and will certainly increase my utility bill. I’ve thought of Solar shades to maintain my view but will they help with temperature? Thank you. Deb
I never knew I needed so much education on window treatments!
I love the way she keeps everything functional and practical despite the inherent design aesthetic viewpoint.
When I was growing up, the most common blinds were made of aluminum – Is that still a thing?
You are so thoughtful and thorough. Love your videos, thank you.
This video is awesome!
I have 4 south-facing windows that are 2 feet wide and 6 feet tall. This is a bump-out so two of the windows are at an angle and there is a bench seat below. We need to block out the summer sun. The other problem is a German Shepherd that lies on the bench seat and will make window coverings dirty. I don't know what is best. Don't really like short curtains, but they cannot go to the floor because of the built-in bench. Help!
Thank you for an informative video! Any advice on how to dress a corner window?
Can I match the window treatments in my master with the same pattern/color in wallpaper in master bath?
Hi Julie, I really enjoy your informative videos! I am going through a major renovation of a Spanish Colonial-style home. We are fortunate to have beautiful views and no neighbors behind. There are a lot of windows and French-style doors that currently have power shades. Would you add/ layer sheers?
I have a sliding door panel that is 105" × 105" in a livingroom with 12' ceiling. Should I hang the curtain all the way up? Or just 4~6" above the door frame?
I want to use roller blind as the first layer, and sheer curtain as the outside layer, so it would look good during the day, and a complete blackout at night. I don't know if it's a good idea. My apartment is small, i think 2 layers of curtain is too much
Hello Julie, just viewed your video. Are you still offering assistance for windows covering?
What about curtains for the laundry room???
I love sheers!!!! Thank you for confirming it’s ok to use them. My styling esthetic is a combination of traditional and modern ( I think). Anyway, thanks for the the sheer confirmation. ❤
Best video ever. Every moment is enjoyable to listen and watch.
The shade, the SHAADEE of it all!
Thank you so much for the video ! What is best rod diameter for sheer or semi sheer curtain in formal living room ? We are not adding any other curtains . Less then 1 inch looks clumsy and very causal to me but I am not sure if 1 inch or even bigger looks good with sheer curtain! Also do you have any recommendation where to find semi sheer curtain ?
I feel so lucky to find this video. Super helpful!!! Thank you so much!
Julie; I just discovered your channel. I’m building a custom home, I’m at the window treatment stage. What type of window treatment can I use for patio doors in my bedroom. My husband wants to tint the windows as we have no neighbors and have complete privacy.
What is that black robed & hooded figure grabbing a tiny child @ 13:52? C-r-e-e-p-y!!
Love it
I just bought a new house and I've had a lot of fun cutting window treatments for every room. My living room has sheers and curtains on a double rod, my bedroom has velvet curtains and my kids room will have curtains as well. My kitchen will have a roman shade.
What would you do for a valance?
I bought Ikea's motorized roller shades and am thinking of covering up the roll, sad they don't seem to sell a cover (unless I missed it). I need to be able to replace the battery so I might need to do a removable valance or leave a decent gap. I am mounting them inside the frame
We bought and love our NORMAN SHUTTERS and three Norman motorized rollers
Do u think the top down bottom up shade is better compared to roller shade? I like the roller shade in my dining room but it doesn’t have the function thought. So if I chose the roller with lighter filtering would be ok since I am in a ranch home with closing with neighbors. Thanks
Thank you for all your great advice! ❤️ Question: what do you think of new windows with blinds inside them for the living room? We are building new & although I love the look of our current 2 inch wooden blinds, I hate cleaning them! Thank you!
Thank you
I spent money on Palm Beach plantation shutters and wow, wow, wow I love them so. Only did it in eating areas and great room. Bedrooms I did duets. I love them all.

I thought window treatments should be uniform throughout 🤔..
Best guide to window treatment video I've watched! Didn't realize how deciding on window treatments could be so overwhelming and your video has put me at ease! Thank you!
Julie, you are amazing and all your tips so full of wisdom, taste, professionalism and good vibes. I came to understand that interior design is part science part art. One does have to understand the geometry of light, of shades, of positive and negative space, of the contrasting colours. So thank you for illuminating these for me. 🙏🏼
Hello Julie, thank you for your videos about home interior designing. I have been watching all your video on feng shui, window treatments, sectionals, etc. What is your sofa right now behind this video?
Thank you for this. What about sliding doors from the kitchen to the back patio? We have a round eat-in kitchen table sitting in front of the door. I was thinking a roller shade but now I’m thinking would drapery or curtains also go for this door?
What treatment would you use if you have plantation shutter?
Where do you find the long window treatments if you want to go close to the ceiling?????
