Stylish And Functional Window Solutions
Every study room deserves window treatments that not only enhance the ambiance of the room but will also handle rainy weather. This slideshow sheds light on functional and elegant options ideal for adding a much-needed aesthetic appeal to the study room.
Whether it’s a modern minimalism design you’re aiming for or timeless elegance, find the perfect fit that suits your needs.
Classic Curtains
One can never go wrong with a classic curtain design when it comes to heavy rainy days. Heavyweight fabrics such as those made out of velvet, wool, or other thick cotton blends not only keep out the rain but they will also provide continuous insulation.
Many curtains come with thermal properties like linings with an extra layer of protection and whatnot. Go for floor-to-ceiling curtains as they provide optimum coverage and create a distraction-free study environment.
Roman Shades
A blend of practicality and elegance, Roman shades are an excellent choice for any study area.
These shades have a clean aesthetic going on for them with their clean lines and tailored look.
Whether your study is based on a modern design or a classic old-fashioned one, Roman shades can easily adapt. They’re available in a variety of materials such as silk, linen, and cotton.
Cellular Shades
Also known as honeycomb blinds, these shades are famous for exceptional insulation and are mostly used in study areas as they help keep the noise out.
Because of its honeycomb design, the air is trapped within the shaded cell restricting the transfer of heat between the window and the room.
Cellular shades are operated via electronic means such as cordless, cord, or other motorized mechanisms.
Roller Shades
There’s nothing better than being cozied up in your study corner with rain tapping on the window. To enhance this experience, go for roller shades, which provide complete coverage from the outside world.
Depending on the fabric you choose, these shades come with the capacity to provide complete detachment from the outside world. Options like matte, glossy, and textured roller shades are also available.
Rain-Resistant Materials
At times moisture gathers on the window sills ruining the entire frame and rainwater can easily seep into the room ruining a perfect study. To avoid this scenario, act smart and check out blinds with rain-resistant properties.
Faux wood blinds, for instance, have natural wood incorporated in them and offer maximum resistance against rain and mold. Made from synthetic materials like PVC or composite wood, these blinds stand firm when dealing with moisture.
Sheer Curtains
If you love the sight of rain tapping on your window, opt for sheer curtains in your study.
Made from translucent, lightweight fabrics, they will brighten your study and give you a clear view of the outside weather.
This option is perfect for those who enjoy a rainy day and don’t want to miss a moment of it. Plus, the soft diffusion of natural light creates a calming and serene atmosphere in your space.
Window Films
Frosted window films are a great choice if you’re leaning toward a translucent effect. These window films will obscure the view from the outside but you can still enjoy the rainy weather.
If you want to do something out of the box, decorative films are another suitable option. Patterned designs add visual interest to the windows while also providing a sense of privacy from external views.
Shutters
Adjustable shutters work well for those who want shades that cater to their needs all the time. So for instance, if you’re in the mood to enjoy the rain, adjustable louvers will allow you to control the amount of light that can enter your study.
The option to fine-tune light levels gives you the chance to change the study environment in line with the different tasks you’re doing.
Layered Window Treatments
For comprehensive control over privacy, light, and room ambiance, layered window treatments will get the job done. This option also adds character to a study room and looks especially elegant in rainy weather.
The rainy atmosphere during the summer seasons is to be enjoyed fully, but if you want to also read your book simultaneously, give a thought to a layered window option. While shades can be used to filter out some of the light, curtains help create a soft ambiance.
Insulated Curtains
Summer rain brings hailstones which can be annoying. Insulated curtains create a comfortable temperature in the study while reducing noise.
Another great advantage of these curtains in your study is that they minimize the need for heating and cooling. With a stable indoor temperature, you can gain potential savings on energy bills.
Patterned Curtains
Nobody likes a boring curtain style in their study room. These options bring a unique character to your study and can complement existing decor and rainy weather.
From elegant florals and classic stripes to geometric prints the options are never-ending. Bold patterns can easily become a statement piece while florals add interest without overwhelming a space.
Bamboo Shades
For people who want to go for an environmentally friendly choice, bamboo shades are the perfect fit. When compared to other synthetic materials, bamboo shades have a reduced environmental impact.
They will bring a natural and warm feel to a study room. When it’s raining and you’re sipping on your coffee with a book in hand, this entire experience will be magnified with bamboo shades which provide a rustic charm to the room.
Customized Option
If you want to make your study room a personal haven that directly caters to your needs and wants, custom curtains are a great way to go. These curtains are made to fit your study windows perfectly.
This option is great for those who have non-standard windows such as arched or bay designs. Choose smartly from the array of fabric choices which include linen, velvet, skill, and polyester while keeping their functionality in mind during a rainy period.
Tie-back Curtains
Tie-back curtain options act as an eye-catching decorative element. These curtains when held back with tie-backs or tassels tend to create a classic, sophisticated look.
When it comes to tie-backs there are endless design options such as simple fabric loops, braided cords, and various other hook options. When you’re in the mood to savor the rainy weather, pull the curtains to the side and tie them with a hook, etc.
