The Importance of Bedroom Window Treatments
Implementing the right window treatments will not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your bedroom but will also play a crucial role in regulating natural light and maintaining privacy. A well-chosen window treatment — or combination — can create a serene atmosphere that contributes to a more restful night’s sleep.
Tips for Choosing Bedroom Window Treatments
When exploring bedroom window treatment ideas, keep in mind the following factors to ensure they meet your needs and preferences:
Consider How Light Enters Your Bedroom
If sunlight streams into your room directly, consider blackout window treatments to fully block the light. If you don’t get any direct sunlight, light-filtering options may be enough to create a tranquil environment.
Think About Your Sleep Preferences
Do you need complete darkness to sleep, or do you like to wake with the morning light? Blackout window treatments are essential for those who need darkness, but for those who don’t, light-filtering options provide softened light that allows you to wake with the sun.
Consider Functionality
Window treatments are available with different control types, like continuous loop, cordless and motorization, some of which are easier to use than others. For the easiest functionality for any window treatment, opt for motorization. Motorized window treatments can be opened and closed with a remote, an app on your smartphone or even the sound of your voice when paired with a smart home system. You can also set timers for your window treatments to open and close automatically when you need it.
Think About Style & Aesthetics
Once you decide on the light control and the functionality for your bedroom, you can start thinking about style and aesthetics, so the bedroom window treatment ideas you implement capture a look you love.
Now that you know some of the factors to think about when considering bedroom window treatment ideas, explore curated bedrooms for inspiration. These ideas vary in style, light, and privacy control so you can find the right combination for your needs. Plus, you’ll find product information for each curated bedroom to capture the same look yourself.
1. Cozy Farmhouse Bedroom with Blackout Shades
For bedroom window treatment ideas that capture a farmhouse-inspired look, opt for Flat Roman Shades made of a subtle plaid pattern like Aberdeen in Oat. Roman Shades offer the inviting, soft look of Drapery without the luscious panels of fabric, which better suits the practically minded — but still warm and inviting — farmhouse style.
For a room darkening effect ideal for sleep, be sure to add blackout lining to your shades and outside mount them on your window. An outside mount offers more coverage than an inside-mount, especially when the shade extends a few inches above, below and on the side of the window.

2. Beach House Bedroom with Solar Shades & Drapery
In a modern beach house, your views are a key characteristic of your home, so it’s important to balance the beauty of the outdoors with the privacy and light control you need indoors. To achieve the right balance, consider a combination of Solar Shades and Drapery. The Solar Shades filter sunlight while preserving views, and the Drapery enhances light control and privacy.
Solar Shades allow you to see through them while providing some privacy during the day. They also block up to 99% of UV rays, keeping your room cooler and more comfortable. At night, Solar Shades privacy is not as strong, as their transparency gets reversed if you have lights on inside.
Drapery, especially thick fabric like Herringbone, a cotton-linen blend, with blackout lining, will offer you the privacy and light control you need at night. Be sure to choose a pleat style that’s compatible with a track system, as this will allow you to slide your drapery panels open and closed with ease.
