Blinds can change your home in these 10 ways

The perfect blinds can completely change a Colorado home, but it’s not just about looks.

When it comes to blinds, form and function go hand in hand. Blinds add to the overall design of a space, soften the ambiance, and even make it quieter. One of the best ways to spruce up a space is by using various blinds, which can serve multiple purposes. Classic plantation shutters, which look great from the outside of a home but can be angled inside for privacy; Roman shades, which diffuse light in a living area; and dual-control roller shades, which provide a variety of light options in a bedroom for play or sleep, are just a few examples.

Here are ten ways that ideal blinds can significantly improve your home.

1, Add some style

When purchasing blinds, style is one of the primary considerations because they may completely change the look of a home. The visual impact of blinds is undeniable and frequently the driving force behind people’s decisions since the perfect choice can transform a space from boring to fabulous.
Consider the elegant and modern plantation shutters to elevate your home’s style.

2, Manage the light

Light control is a crucial feature of blinds that shouldn’t be ignored because it dramatically affects how livable a home is. Light control is an important reason why blinds are vital, whether you want a living room full of sunlight or a completely dark bedroom for sleeping.
The Duette® honeycomb shades, for example, offer light-filtering options that allow sunlight to illuminate your living area while providing privacy.

3, Offer Versatility

Depending on what you require from the room, you can select a product that allows you to manage the light. For instance, you don’t want total darkness while watching TV but don’t want sunlight shining on the screen. Another way to improve a space is to be free to alter the light it receives using dual-control window treatments.
For example, the Duolite® dual-opacity option for roller shades allows you to switch from a sheer to an opaque fabric for complete control over light levels.

4, Protect privacy

Privacy is crucial because most Coloradans reside in a clustered setting with near neighbors. You can ensure your home remains your private haven by selecting the appropriate blinds. If you can see through your blinds during the day from inside, at night, it will be the opposite, and that outside will be able to see straight in.
Consider the Hunter Douglas Silhouette® shades provide varying levels of privacy while allowing natural light into your home.

5, Establish the mood

Window treatments have a direct impact on a home’s mood. Many things, including light, privacy, and style—all of which are controlled by window treatments—have an impact on mood.
With Pirouette® shades, for instance, you can control the light entering your home and create the perfect mood for any occasion.

6, Provide thermal comfort

Windows are effective “holes” in a house. Therefore it is up to the blinds to keep the heat out in the summer and the warmth in the winter. Well-fitting, tailored blinds will provide the best level of thermal comfort. These shades can help regulate the temperature in your home and reduce energy costs.
Consider the Vignette® Modern Roman Shades; they are tailored to fit snugly over windows to provide maximum insulation and energy efficiency.

7, Improve energy efficiency

The right blinds can save money all year because Coloradans typically spend 41% of their household energy budget on controlling their home’s temperature. We pay to run air conditioners in the summer and heat in the winter to be comfortable. High-quality blinds increase energy efficiency so that these appliances don’t have to operate as complex or as long, lowering operating costs.
Duette® Architella® honeycomb shades, for example, have a unique cellular design that traps air and provides an additional layer of insulation for maximum energy savings.

8, Reduce the sound

Many individuals overlook the acoustic advantages of excellent blinds. It has to do with comfort and noise reduction. Road noise or echoing from within a room with many hard surfaces can be very annoying, but the correct window treatments can help muffle these sounds.
The Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades, for instance, are designed with noise-reducing properties to help reduce external noise.

9, Make sure children and pets are safe

Safety is a crucial concern since children and pets are present in most Colorado households. Safety might not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering window treatments, but tangled cords are a severe safety concern for kids and animals. All contemporary window coverings abide by the most current standards for child safety.
The LiteRise® system on the Hunter Douglas shades eliminates cords, making them safe for homes with children and pets.

10, Change a house into a home

A home’s window treatments help to define it. Window coverings express your personality, and with so many options available, they can personalize a home.
Consider the Parkland® Wood Blinds; you can choose from a range of colors, textures, and finishes to create a look that’s uniquely yours.
