Bedroom Window Treatment Ideas
You're lying in bed on a Saturday morning in Sacramento, and the sun is streaming through your windows at 6 AM. You wanted to sleep in, but the light woke you up an hour ago. Or maybe your bedroom faces the street, and every time a car drives by at night with headlights on, you see it through those thin curtains. Bedroom window treatments need to solve specific problems that other rooms don't deal with—you need darkness for sleep, privacy at all hours, and insulation against temperature swings.
Rico's Window Coverings & Films has been helping Sacramento-area homeowners choose bedroom window treatments for decades. We're locally owned and operated, and we know which bedroom window treatment ideas will work for your California home. Here's what matters when you're picking window treatments for bedrooms
Light Control Matters More in Bedrooms
Your bedroom needs better light blocking than your living room does. Even small amounts of light leaking around the edges of your window treatments can disrupt sleep, and Sacramento's early summer sunrises make this worse if your windows face east.
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades offer several options for light control, including Top-Down or Top-Down/Bottom-Up designs, or our Duolite® system. The honeycomb construction also insulates your windows, which helps when the afternoon sun heats up west-facing bedrooms or when you're trying to keep your room comfortable during Sacramento's hot summers.
Privacy Throughout the Day and Night
Bedrooms need privacy at all hours, not just at night. If your bedroom faces the street or you have close neighbors, you need window treatments that provide daytime privacy without making your room feel like a cave.
Sheer shades filter light beautifully while providing daytime privacy. Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades have fabric vanes that float between sheer panels. Tilt them closed during the day for privacy while still getting soft, filtered light. At night, you'll want to layer them with shades or drapes for complete privacy and light control.
Top-down/bottom-up cellular shades let you lower the shade from the top for privacy while keeping the bottom open for light. This works well for bedrooms where you want privacy, but don't want to block all your natural light during the day.
Style and Function Together
Bedroom window treatments should match your décor while solving practical problems. If you've got a modern bedroom with clean lines, roller shades or cellular shades in neutral colors work well. Traditional bedrooms look better with Roman shades or shutters that add texture and visual interest.
Motorization makes sense in bedrooms where you want to operate your window treatments without getting out of bed. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation lets you program your shades to close automatically at sunset for privacy and open at your preferred wake-up time for natural light instead of an alarm.
