Trends for Bedroom Window Treatments

If we learned anything in 2020, it’s that comfort is an excellent premise to design your home around. And while we might not automatically equate our window treatments with our sense of comfort at home, truthfully, they are a crucial part of creating a comforting home environment especially in the bedroom, which is why comfort is at the heart of many trends for bedroom window treatments in 2021.

The primary purpose of a bedroom is to provide a comfortable place to sleep, which should be dark, quiet, at kept at a stable temperature. So, trends for bedroom window treatments this year include prioritizing the functionality of widow treatments for maximum comfort and restful sleep. That’s why you should opt for window treatments that offer multiple environmental control features. For example, Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades have the highest level of room darkening and blackout capabilities thanks to their patent-pending LightLock™ system, and they also absorb sound and insulate to help control temperature and create a quiet, dark, and utterly comfortable bedroom environment.

Another key to feeling comfortable at home is privacy, especially in more intimate rooms like the bedroom. Layered window treatments are part of the popular trends for bedroom window treatments in 2021 because they afford additional privacy as well as improved light control and diversified design options. Take for example Hunter Douglas Plantation Shutters paired with Design Studio™ Drapery. The two treatments used together eliminate light leaks and shine-through for the ultimate light-blocking treatment that creates a private interior space. Additionally, the contrast of hard and soft treatments, as well as the layered application, adds depth and dimension to a room, and as both types of window treatments come in a variety of colors and styles the different options for customization are practically endless.

And while it is splendid to spend time in our carefully crafted comfort zone, it’s important too to know when you push yourself out of it. For example, while we might relish the tranquil and comfortable sleeping environment that we’ve created in our bedroom on weekend mornings, on Monday it might be helpful to have a bedroom window treatment that gets us up out of that comfortable moment to motivate us for a new, and hopefully productive, day. That’s why it’s no surprise that automation is included in the trends for bedroom window treatments in 2021. PowerView® Automation works with almost all Hunter Douglas products including blinds, shades, and shutters. In addition to motorizing the window treatment, PowerView® Automation also has programmable scheduling options that can be coordinated to your lifestyle and needs (whether that’s the need to get up and get going or the equally valid need to relax in a comfortable bedroom environment).
