Are you looking for a way to enhance the energy efficiency of your home while also adding valuable design elements to your decor? Adding energy-efficient window treatments is an easy way to save money on utility bills, and to quickly update the look of your home.
Window Treatments
Common window treatments include blinds, shades, shutters, and curtains, and are probably among the most versatile decorating elements in any room. They change the appearance of the room in an instant and they also offer numerous other practical advantages.
Blinds
Window blinds are the best way to control light conditions as well as to create a harmonious interior that is a pleasure to spend time in. Blinds are offered in a number of options including vertical and horizontal blinds. Vertical blinds are the best option for windows that are wider than they are tall. They slide from side to side. Another option, Horizontal blinds, is made for windows that are taller than they are wide.
Blinds manufacturers such as Hunter Douglas, offer a large selection of blinds made from sheer, and woven fabrics, that can darken a room, if desired. They also offer blinds made out of vinyl, genuine wood, faux wood, and even aluminum.
Enhanced Light Control
With window blinds, you can have more control over the amount of light that enters the room than with curtains. Blinds can be adjusted to block light completely or to let the sun’s rays through completely if you feel like it.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency for Lower Utility Bills
With blinds, you can efficiently control the temperature in the room as well, creating a pleasant atmosphere and lowering your heating bills too. In summer, your blinds will help keep the room cool, while in winter they will keep the warmth inside.
Variety in Materials, Styles and Colors
Though curtains are also available in a seemingly endless variety of styles, blinds offer more possibilities by adding the option to choose the direction they open. Vertical blinds, cordless blinds, roman blinds - all add a different stylistic element to the room’s decor, allowing you to create exactly the space you have dreamt of.
Interior Designers
As you can see, blinds are varied and versatile decorative elements and they are also an excellent way to improve the thermal insulation in any room. Because they are familiar with the range of style, brands and colors available, professional interior designers can help you review and select the right type and design for your home. By making a small change in your window treatments, you will enjoy increased comfort and reduced energy bills, while also making your rooms look more welcoming and stylish.
