Doing a little “window shopping” for your business? It can be hard to choose the right window treatments for your company. You want them to last without feeling dated in a matter of only a few years and they shouldn’t pull focus from the task at hand, but you still want them to make a statement, even if it’s a subtle one. And most importantly, your window treatments should be cost effective; pairing a great look with a great price.
When you’re picking window treatments for your home, you only have to consider your personal style. For your business, you want to find something that is completely functional and something that makes the most sense for your space, your budget, and the task at hand.
Here are a few of the window coverings we feel are the best match for businesses, to make your search a bit easier:
Roller Shades
Roller shades are modern and sleek, and match nearly every design scheme, especially since they are available in a variety of colors. With complete control and adjustability, they can help block a glare on a computer screen, or keep light out of the eyes of your client’s eyes. They allow some ambient light in, while still giving you control to draw the shade.
Imagine how disastrous a dental examining room would be if the sun was in your patient’s eyes and you couldn’t adjust the shade, or how uncomfortable your client would be sitting in a hair stylist’s chair with the sun in their eyes and no place to go! Roller shades give you the power to adjust.
Roller shades are such an excellent option because they maintain a bright, welcoming, modern atmosphere while giving you complete freedom to adjust as necessary. Their adjust-ability, affordability, and sleek design make them a prime choice for any business or office.
A big trend in office spaces? Flexible work spaces and walls of windows -even in interior rooms- to promote a collaborative work environment. A great way to add the option of privacy to these fishbowl-type rooms is to install roller shades. They keep the industrial look many new offices are going for at an affordable price, but they give you the ability to close off, or open up a room when you need to collaborate and when you need a quiet space free of distraction.
Faux Wood Blinds
Wood blinds are timeless; they will never go out of style and they are a great match for almost any decor. However, wood blinds can also become less cost efficient when outfitting windows on a larger scale, like you may need to do in a business. This is why we think faux wood blinds are a great choice for the workplace: they give you the look of wood blinds at a fraction of the cost. Beach Bungalow Blinds’ faux wood options are of the highest quality. You won’t miss the look of real wood, because you won’t be able to tell they aren’t real wood.
Faux wood blinds are a great option in an office. While roller shades fit more clinical or streamlined looks, faux wood lends itself well to an attorney’s office or behind the desk of a financial adviser. They can easily blend in and be part of the background, or they can add gravitas to any professional’s room, too.
Cellular Shades
Also known as honeycomb shades, cellular shades are a softer alternative to roller shades or wood blinds that still provide you with a streamlined overall aesthetic. They can also help lower energy costs, as they serve as a great insulator, keeping cool air in and hot air out in the heat of a Florida summer day, making them a smart investment.
The biggest upside to cellular shades is that they are entirely adjustable. With cordless options, you have the ability to install window treatments that can not only lower and raise from the bottom, but from the top as well. This gives you a great deal of flexibility. In an office situation where privacy is key, being able to lower only the tops of the blinds gives you and your clients privacy while still allowing the sun to beam in from the tops of the windows.
A big 2018 trend in office decor is lots of plants and greenery. Plants purify the air and make any space seem less utilitarian; the adjustability of cellular blinds means you can provide the privacy you need, while still allowing the sun to shine on your office’s plants.
