3 Window Treatments To Revamp Your Seattle Laundry Room

June 27, 2016

When you’re looking for window treatments for your Seattle home, the laundry room probably isn’t at the top of your list — but maybe it should be. A family of four does approximately 412 loads of laundry each year, which translates to hours spent in the laundry room. Your laundry room gets more foot traffic than you’d suspect between all the tasks including sorting, washing, drying, and folding.

So, why not make it a comfortable and attractive place to be? These three window treatments will transform your laundry room into a space you like spending time in instead of a room you don’t like.

1. Polywood Shutters

Polywood® plantation shutters give your laundry room a cozy, attractive, energy efficient transformation. If your energy bill has risen over time, it could be your windows’ fault. Windows are one of the main culprits for energy loss in your home. This is especially true in the laundry room where you have large appliances at work.

Our Polywood shutters aren’t just beautiful. They’re also energy efficient window treatments that reduce up to 45% of heat transfer through your window, reducing your energy costs. And controlling the amount of natural light that comes into the room is as simple as tilting a louver. These durable plantation-style shutters are built to last decades without chipping, cracking, warping, or fading.

2. Cellular Shades

Cellular shades are a lighter laundry room window treatment option. You can select from a selection of opacities ranging from sheer to opaque to give you the light control you need. Keep them in the retracted position to brighten the room as you’re washing your clothes. Pull them down for extra privacy.

3. Faux Wood Blinds

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, clean-cut window treatment to complement a small space, faux wood blinds are a popular option. A more affordable covering than hardwood, faux wood blinds are nearly the same in appearance, but easily withstand the variations in temperature and humid conditions of your laundry room without cracking or warping.
