Window Treatments for the Family Room
The family room is the go-to room for everyone in the house. Because the family room has many uses in your home, your window treatments need to be multifunctional to accommodate each family member. Choosing the right family room shutters or blinds can enhance the ambience in your house and create a relaxing or playful atmosphere.
It’s important for your window treatment to: 1) reduce heat gain and block UV rays; 2) control light and cut down on glare; 3) have cordless options for child and pet safety; and 4) have motorized options for difficult-to-reach windows.
Whether you use your family room to relax or entertain, there are a variety of window treatment options that can give you the look and functionality you need. Depending on privacy needs and light control, here are some different options to consider for your family room.
