How To Pick Bedroom Window Treatments In Denver

When you’re looking for a bedroom window covering in Denver, color, installation, privacy, light control, and energy efficiency are major things to assess. What’s the best window treatment between shades, plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, and blinds? Here are 5 things to consider when buying bedroom window treatments in Denver, Colorado.

Privacy

Privacy is the main reason to order bedroom window treatments. Blinds, shades, and drapes can be an adequate screen from nosy neighbors. But their thin material means silhouettes and shadows can still be seen.

You might notice a slight gap on the sides of the window depending on the way your sliding barn doors are set up.
