Window treatments are one of the most significant design elements in our homes. Whether you need to cover windows for light control or privacy is also an integral part of their artful design. We understand that shopping for the perfect window treatment can be a daunting task, especially if you are on a fixed budget.

The great news is that beautiful window coverings can be achieved in several budgets. To help you, let’s dive into the top 3 window treatments that will elevate your space while not pressing your budget.

Roller Shades

Roller shades are an excellent solution for windows. They are the most affordable and easy to use, with multiple style options around. Functionally, they are wonderful for managing the amount of sunlight in your room, as this helps control the indoor room temperature. Be sure to source shades that have the correct opacity for your needs, which range from blackout to light filtering.

Café Curtains:

Don’t scoff! We aren’t talking about your grandmother’s curtains. Hear us out. Café curtains provide a simple style that can give your room a clean look. They are less expensive than full drapery panels and are still able to provide partial privacy with basic functionality. What we adore most about café curtains is seeing their updated styling with sleek thin rods and sheer fabrics. Think beyond bathrooms and laundry rooms – we are seeing them show up in living rooms and even bedrooms!

Faux Wood Blinds

With a limited budget, you can have a nature-friendly look inside your space with the elegance of a natural wood finish to your windows. One of the great benefits of faux wood blinds is the fact that they are moisture and water-resistant, making them highly functional. As a bonus, these blinds are incredibly easy to maintain and are durable. If you loved silhouettes but they are not in the budget cards right now, consider their cousin – the faux wood blind.
