Windows treatments for home – Must with a perfect finishing touch
Lockdown during pandemic situations and the concept of home offices have become a common sight in the past few years. The right atmosphere lets you relax and rejuvenates you, which, in turn, influences your productivity. Unfortunately, the wall paint, lighting, comfort, and noise can inadvertently affect the mindset. But a window renovation is more than enough to raise the bars. There are window treatments that go well with your needs in a home office setup. Let’s look at the windows that each match specific home-office requirements.
Factors that influence your mood
Have you wondered why it’s harder to give your all while working from home? Your work environment could be the reason. Ditch your old home office window coverings and install new window treatments after considering the listed factors. You’ll be surprised by the difference it will bring to your creativity, efficiency, and concentration.
Color
Colors are said to represent and influence our mood. Warm colors like red, yellow, and orange stimulate higher arousal emotions, such as love, passion, happiness, and anger. Conversely, cool colors like blue, green, and purple are connected to tranquility, sorrow, and disinterest.
Colors can trigger these arousal states and emotions. For example, several studies show the impact of the paint color used in offices or living rooms on people’s moods. In addition, whether you feel warm or cold can depend on the color tone of your environment. For example, in a room painted in warm color, the temperature will feel higher than the same temperature in a cool-colored room.
It is not surprising if you think of temperature-related associations to these colors. Blue represents winter, ice, water, freshness, and rain. Warm colors like red or yellow relate to images like fire, sun, and summer in your mind. This applies to window treatments, too.
Fabric
Pick lasting fabrics that can be cleaned and retained easily. Faux silk, linen, and cotton are among the best fabrics for home office window shades because they’re lower maintenance than other drapery fabrics like silk and velvet. Dry clean them when required and vacuum with a brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation in the folds.
Patterns
Extravagant patterns are constantly distracting in a work environment. Therefore, solid colored and plain shades are preferable as uniform patterns don’t divert your attention as much as the colorful motifs. Moreover, solid-colored window shades often enrich the ambiance.
Temperature control
As much as the above points, the room’s temperature plays an essential role in the work ambiance that the space provides. The scorching sun and chilly weather can affect your mindset to finish your deadlines.
The glaring sun
A naturally well-lit workspace is inviting and motivating for anyone, but the sun’s rays can be excessively glaring. It can disrupt your line of sight, and the computer screen also glares back at you. If your windows are exposed to sunlight, make sure you get window shades that reduce the glare of the rays.

Silhouette® Window Shadings
Though a home office with a view of the outdoors and a natural light setting can be delightful for your mind and body, it can also distract you to a great extent. Using sheer fabrics can help you with this. However, they are semi-opaque in that it lets you see out, but people outside cannot have a view of your room.
Silhouette® Window Shadings feature soft, flexible S-shaped vanes that appear to be floating between two light fabrics. This ingenious design lets light filter through while concealing the outside world’s view into your space.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers
Luminette privacy sheers work in the same manner as the Silhouette window shadings. However, these sheers give you an optimal amount of light and minimal distraction. They have sheer fabrics attached to the vanes that can rotate up to 180°. It is the best choice if your room has large windows or sliding doors. Luminette privacy sheers are specially designed to provide light control and privacy.
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters enable you to get back to work by reducing your distractions. They enfeeble outside noises and make it effortless to regulate light. In addition, you can easily switch between open shutters or closed shutters that give you solitude and relieve your monitor of that glare of the sun.
