Windows are what can make or break the overall design aesthetic in your house. If you have large, open windows, you may want to ensure that you aren't covering them up with heavy window coverings like shutters, though you'll still want some privacy. So, how can you get some privacy without completely obstructing your views and your natural light? Read on to learn about some more ideas. 

Custom Shades

When you buy big, bulky blinds from a home improvement store, they may cover parts of your widows but they may leave gaps in other parts. To get a custom look that really accentuates your windows and views, try working with a custom blind company. A custom blind company will start out by coming to your house and measuring all of your windows, no matter how large they are. Then, after they have taken measurements, they will go over a variety of different blind options for you to choose from. Popular custom blind styles that aren't too bulky include: 

Roman Shades

If you have more of a traditional design aesthetic, then you may want to go with some custom Roman shades. Roman shades are made out of a fabric and they typically pull down from the top in an accordion sort of fashion. The great thing about getting custom Roman shades is that you will get to choose the exact type of fabric that they will use with it. 

Motorized Blinds

If you want something that's just purely there to cover up at night and you want it to be convenient, then consider some motorized blinds. Motorized blinds typically tuck up really close to the top of the window. Often you can control them using a remote controller. The remote controller will move the blinds up and down so that you don't ever have to worry about touching them or dealing with any sort of hassle. 

In addition to having blinds that are functional, you may want to add some curtains to the sides of your windows for decoration. While you may not ever close your curtains, having curtains in a room can add dimension and texture to a space. When getting curtains, look for ones that go all the way to the ceiling so that they look like they were made for the space. If you have to have them tailored a little bit, it's better to have them touch the floor than sit an inch or so above it.
