Trying to cover a living room or a bedroom with the right window coverings can be tricky. There are a few things to consider before looking into the right window covering. If it is for the windows in the living room then you are probably trying to avoid the glare and the harsh uv rays that will filter into the room.
If your house has windows that are on either side (east and west) then the window coverings have to take a beating from both sunrise and sunset.choosing the window treatments that help in filtering this light while avoiding the glare will be the objective since these rays can damage and fade the upholstery in the living room.
so to avoid this there are other options like light blocking treatments for rooms that take a lot of light. Otherwise you can use drapes and curtains with a lining layer that block out the light and harsh UV rays. Tinting glass windows can be another option. Dark roller blinds, metal or wood blinds or shutters that allow a little bit of light and at the same time block the glare and direct light can be other options that you can look into
