The right window treatments can completely change the feel of your bedroom. They can set the mood, control natural light, improve sleep quality, and add privacy—all while tying together your room’s style.
Best Blinds & Awnings helps homeowners in North Idaho and Eastern Washington choose bedroom window coverings that are both functional and stylish. Whether you’re remodeling, updating, or furnishing a brand-new space, here are our top five recommendations for bedroom window treatments:
1. Roller Shades
If sleep quality is a top priority (as it should be!), roller shades are one of the best choices. You can select either room-darkening shades that block a significant amount of light or blackout shades that completely block light from your windows. Both offer a clean, modern look and come in a wide variety of colors. They are available in manual or motorized styles. Perfect for:
- Light sleepers
- Day sleepers (nurses, shift workers, etc.)
- East-facing bedrooms that get (too much!) early morning sun
These shades are popular in this part of the country, where sunrises hit early in the summer and sunsets linger long into the evening. Given the range of fabrics and textures, you don’t have to sacrifice style for function.
2. Cellular Shades (Honeycomb Shades)
Cellular shades are a top pick for anyone looking to boost insulation and reduce noise—two key benefits for a cozy, restful bedroom. Why we love them:
- Air pockets have high insulation value, which is great during cold winters and hot summers in the communities in and around Lewiston, Spokane, and Coeur d’Alene
- Soft, modern look
- Available in light-filtering and blackout options
If your bedroom windows face busy streets in areas, cellular shades also help dampen outside noise, creating a quieter sleeping space.
3. Roman Shades
Roman shades offer texture, softness, and a timeless design for homeowners who want a more luxurious feel and custom look. They are made of fabrics that fold softly and neatly when the shades are raised and add elegance when lowered. Roman shades work well in both modern and traditional bedrooms. Best features:
- Wide range of fabrics, patterns, and liners
- Can be customized for partial or full blackout
- Adds design appeal without bulky drapery
Roman shades are a favorite in custom homes and remodels, and can dress up a room instantly.
4. Layered Drapery + Shades
Sometimes, the best window treatment is a combination of products. Pairing roller or cellular shades with drapes gives you versatility and a more finished and softer look than shades alone.
Benefits of layering:
- Maximum control over light and privacy
- Ability to switch between filtered light and full darkness
- Added insulation in colder months
This combo is ideal for large bedroom windows or sliding glass doors.
5. Wood or Faux Wood Blinds
Wood and faux wood blinds offer classic appeal for a clean, structured look, especially if you favor a modern, minimalist look. With adjustable slats, wood or faux wood blinds give you control over light and privacy, and they pair well with almost any décor. Why choose them:
- Durable and easy to clean
- Suitable for more casual or minimalist bedrooms
- Faux wood is ideal for humid areas like basements
While genuine wood blinds can be expensive and require care, faux wood blinds, which look like the real thing, are especially popular in secondary bedrooms or rental properties, where long-term durability matters.
