What Is the Best Window Treatment for a Dining Room?
You need to consider several factors when choosing a window treatment for your dining room. These include:
- Privacy: Shutters offer more privacy, as they can be fully closed. So, if your home is next to the road that your dining room faces, consider installing shutters.
- Versatility: Blinds are generally more versatile than shutters. They come in a wide range of materials, colors, and styles. Thus, in terms of customization and ability to suit various preferences, dining room blinds can be a better option.
- Energy efficiency: Shutters provide excellent insulation. If your dining room receives direct sunlight throughout the day, shutters can help you maintain a cool room temperature.
- Light filtering: Dining room window shades offer more flexibility when filtering light. They give a softer light than shutters and blinds, resulting in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
- Durability: Shutters are known for being durable. The materials used to make them, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and steel, are strong and highly resistant to moisture and other weather elements.
- Aesthetics: Window treatments exist in different styles and colors. Thus, they can all be considered uniquely aesthetically pleasing, depending on your preference. Nonetheless, shutters are generally regarded as more aesthetically pleasing due to their classic, timeless look.
- Cost-effectiveness: Blinds and shades are more affordable than shutters. However, since different types of window treatments exist, you can find a type of shutter that is within your budget.
- Ease of maintenance: Shutters are the easiest to maintain. All you need to do is dust them regularly, and use a damp cloth to remove stains. Additionally, the materials used to make shutters resist fading, cracking, and warping. Thus, you don’t have to paint or stain them, especially those made of non-wood materials.
- Setting: For informal settings, for instance, in your informal dining room or breakfast nook, shades and blinds can be an excellent option. Shutters can be excellent in the formal dining room.
What Style of Shutter Is Best in the Dining Room?
Plantation shutters are often considered to be the best option for dining rooms. This is because of their adjustable louvers, which can be opened and closed as needed to control lighting and privacy. Additionally, their ease of cleaning makes them great for dining rooms, seeing that there is a high possibility of food spills. Plantation shutters are highly resistant to staining and are easy to clean.
You can also install High-Tech PolyCel® shutters in your dining room. This plantation shutter type is made from a composite, synthetic, durable material that mimics the look and feel of real wood, often called polywood. It’s resistant, customizable, low maintenance, moisture resistant, and energy efficient. Further, since it’s not made of wood, it’s more affordable.
High-Tech PolyCel® shutters are stylish like any other plantation shutter. Our Las Vegas shutters come in custom-fit designs for any window shape and decor.
What Are the Best Blinds for the Dining Room?
The best type of blinds for the dining room is wood blinds. They are particularly ideal for formal dining rooms, as they offer a sturdy, elegant look with a natural and warm touch. Best Buy Shutters has wooden Venetian dining room blinds. This blind type has horizontal slats, which can be raised, lowered, and tilted to let in varying amounts of light and create privacy. Hence, you can filter sunlight while allowing natural light in. We also have Venetian blinds made of aluminum and plastic.
What Are the Best Shades for the Dining Room?
Unlike blinds and shutters, which have individual slats, shades are a continuous piece of fabric, raised and lowered accordingly. They may not offer as much light control as blinds and shutters, but they are great at softening light and diffusing glare, leading to a gentle glow in the dining room and a degree of privacy.
The best shades for the dining room are those made from light-filtering fabrics, such as honeycomb and sheer.
Best Buy Shutters offers cellular, roller, roman, horizontal, plated, woven wood, and solar shades. Our experts will help you understand the advantages of each in depth to make an informed decision.
Tips for Installing Window Treatments in Your Dining Room
A few tips up your sleeve can help you when installing window treatments in your dining room.
Here are five of them:
- Choose colors wisely: Consider the colors in your dining room when choosing a window treatment, be it shutters, blinds, or shades. You want to pick a color that complements those in your dining room. If you have a dining room with a polished look, choose window treatments with calming colors, such as light blue, cream, lavender, or sea green.
- Install different types of window treatments: If you have multiple windows in your dining room, you can install different window treatments. For instance, you can install blinds in the window you face while eating so you can pull the slats up when needed, and you can have shutters on the window that faces the street for privacy. Combining window treatments allows you to achieve maximum light and privacy control without compromising aesthetics.
- Consider patterns: If your dining room has a neutral color palette, consider installing a window treatment with playful patterns. Some shutters have cutouts of various shapes and designs that make them unique. Wood shutters can also be finished with faux leather textures or other patterns. Moreover, you can paint shutters with creative designs or print patterns on them. Blinds and shades are often available with patterns to add visual interest in the dining room. If your dining room decor is bold, balance it out with a softer window treatment.
- Take note of measurements: Accurate measurements are crucial when installing window treatments. Luckily, Best Buy Shutters measures windows for clients. We can visit your home to get the precise measurements of the windows in your dining room.
- Consider safety: If you have children or pets, it’s vital to install cordless or motorized window treatments to eliminate choking hazards in your home.
