It's officially fall and with that comes some of the best things to enjoy about the year. This is the time for pumpkin spice lattes, cooler weather (aka a long awaited break from the relentless summer heat) and leaves turning a stunning pallet of colors. Yes, sweater weather is finally upon us, but that also means that you are going to have to get your home ready for these cold and often frozen months ahead. That’s what we are going to talk about in today’s blog! We are going to discuss some of the things that you can do to help prepare your home for the cooler months as we round out this year. If you have any questions or comments or stories of your own to share, please let us know in the comments.
Insulation Meets Style: The Functional Benefits
The holiday season is almost in full swing and you want to get ahead of the curve in every way possible. There will be gatherings, parties, and family coming into town for visits and you want your home to be prepared to take on all of that and more. Yes, you will want to present a stylish and impressive environment for your guests (especially that one aunt or cousin who is always trying to casually one-up you at every turn!), but you will also want to save money on your home heating costs. The good news is that upgrading your home’s window coverings is the perfect way to do both of those things so you can give Aunt Mildred something to write home about while also saving a bundle on your utility bills.
Modern window coverings are specifically engineered to do two things: provide the best possible aesthetic charm while also improving your home’s energy efficiency performance at every turn. Here are some of the styles and types of window coverings we recommend you consider this year as you upgrade and prepare your home for winter:
- Honeycomb blinds (cellular shades): Known for their insulating design, these shades trap air in their pockets, creating a thermal barrier that keeps heat inside during cold months.
- Roman shades: Their layered fabric brings a luxurious softness to any room while providing privacy and warmth.
- Wooden shutters: Durable and timeless, shutters add a touch of sophistication while acting as a natural insulator.
- Roller shades: Clean and modern, roller shades are easy to operate, making them a versatile choice for high-traffic rooms.
Together, these treatments not only reduce energy bills but also take your decor game to the next level.
