Window Covering Ideas For A Spring Refresh

Spring is the time of year we refresh and renew our homes, finally opening the windows to Colorado’s sunny weather. If you look around your home this spring and choose to freshen it up, new window coverings are an excellent option. It’s a comparatively cost-efficient change which will really transform your home’s look.

Window coverings that are particularly suited for Colorado’s changing weather:

If you would like a flexible window treatment, with control over light and privacy, try Silhouette Window Shadings. They’re the right combination of blinds and solar shades. Silhouettes have vanes which will tilt either up or down to let in the gorgeous morning light, shade your room from a hot afternoon sun, or offer complete privacy. Silhouettes also have a shear fabric to beautifully filter Colorado’s sun to a warm glow.

When the temperature climbs, you’ll want window treatments that insulate against Colorado’s hot sun while keeping the cool air in. Honeycomb shades do all that and more. There are dozens of fabric options, from sheer through opaque, to suite any situation in your home. Use sheer or semi-sheer if you wish filtered light and aren’t too concerned about privacy. Use opaque or semi-opaque honeycomb shades to guard furniture from Colorado’s high altitude sun and maximize your privacy. Honeycomb shades are a neat, tailored design solution.

Plantation shutters are commonly chosen based on their elegant good looks. However, plantation shutters also are energy efficient. Plantation shutters have the added benefit that window shades can’t offer, you can adjust the light by simply tilting the louvers up or down. Since Plantation are held shut by strong magnets, you can let the spring time breeze blow through them without any banging or rattling.

Treat yourself to the last word in convenience and efficiency with motorized window coverings. Whether you choose shutters, shades, or blinds, you’ll control how far they’re opened and closed with the touch of a button. You can get programmable motorized window coverings that integrate with your mobile phone or tablet. Use a smart home system to automatically open with the sun, or close so you can come home to a comfortable, private space. And if you’re planning a vacation, you can program motorized window coverings to open and close at specific times, so your home appears occupied.

Whatever your style and preference, if you’re doing a little spring cleaning and are ready for a brand new look, window treatments can make an enormous difference in how your home looks and feels. The experts at New View Blinds and Shutters can assist you in selecting the perfect window treatments, and will also measure and install. We’ll do the work; you go outside and enjoy springtime in the Rockies!
