Best Window Treatments for Guest Rooms Near St. Petersburg, FL
When you stay in someone else’s home, you like to feel welcome and at ease. A great guest room is an essential part of this. Your bedroom at home is a comfortable, relaxing space and you can recreate this feeling for guests when they stay in your home. Blind & Shutter Gallery has the Hunter Douglas window treatments you need to make your guests feel right at home.
Drapery
Curtains and drapes usually come to mind when people think about relaxing window treatments. Drapery can make a guest room feel more elegant and provide exceptional design and texture. Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery are available in hundreds of color and fabric choices so you can easily incorporate them into your existing decor. We suggest layering opaque drapes and a room-darkening liner with sheer panels so your guests can sleep in if they choose, or they can enjoy sunlight without sacrificing their privacy.
Blinds
Whether you opt for hardwood, metal, or faux wood, window blinds with a fine finish give a touch of warmth to your windows. Since the slats of blinds are opaque, they provide excellent light control - but the ability to tilt the slats makes blinds one of the most flexible window coverings. If you prefer a solid color, we suggest a neutral tone like light gray or beige. White can be a bit too stark, and you don’t necessarily want your guest room to feel like a doctor’s office.
Roman Shades
Fabric window coverings tend to create a more inviting aesthetic, and Roman shades are one of the best soft window coverings to make houseguests feel cozy. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades offer clean lines without exposed rear cords and are available in flat or full fold designs. When using Roman shades in a bedroom, we recommend the Duolite® feature that places a sheer shade in front of an opaque liner. You can also mix and match any two shade fabrics with the two-shades-on-one headrail option.
Other Tips
Once you’ve got the window treatments covered (see what we did there?), there are a few other ways to make your guest room an oasis away from home.
- Use high-quality bedding. Nobody likes to sleep on thin, scratchy sheets or flat pillows, so investing in premium pillows or sheets with a high thread count is a bonus for guests.
- Don’t go overboard with color. You can use bold colors on the room’s walls or windows, but not both. If the walls are painted in a vibrant shade, stick with neutral colored shades or drapes with subtle patterns. Shades of green and blue are calming and always a great choice for bedrooms.
- Make sure the bed is not too large or small. Much like Goldilocks, guests in your home want a bed that is just right. If the bed is too small, it will be uncomfortable, but a bed that is too large for the space is just as awkward. Having to shimmy between the bed and furniture or wall is nothing to look forward to at the end of a busy day.
