Suitable Window Coverings for Different Dwellings

Suitable Window Coverings for Different Dwellings

There is a near overwhelming number of options when it comes to choosing window coverings for your home. From a variety of blind options (including wirefree), to curtains and drapes, shutters and screens, and outdoor awnings and pergolas. One way to narrow down the list is to consider what works best for the type of dwelling you have, whether that’s a house, apartment or townhouse. Either way, automation solutions by Somfy can add extra convenience and luxury to your window coverings and home.

Window Treatments for Houses

Houses offer the greatest flexibility and scope of options in choosing window coverings. It’s best to make choices based on window size, location and interior design preferences. For example, curtains are a great solution for large, ceiling-to-floor windows in a living room or bedroom, where you’re trying to create a cosy atmosphere. Meanwhile, motorised interior blinds work wonders in bedrooms where functionality and saving space matters.

Outdoor shading systems such as awnings and pergolas are another great way of controlling temperature and light in your house, while adding an interesting design element that can be appreciated from outside areas like the patio or front yard.

Apartments and Townhouses

When it comes to decorating townhouses and apartments with window coverings, optimising the amount of space you have is usually an important consideration. Motorised interior blinds or shutters that pair back with the wall colour of the room, tends to work well in smaller spaces. Of course, at the end of the day this all depends on the character of each individual space and your personal preferences.
