Summers are here. Allow the sun to shine!

Winter is over, and it's time to open the windows and let the sun in. When the summer heat hits the interiors of your home, you almost feel like you're going to burst. You'll probably take any opportunity to stay cool, from turning on the air conditioner to jumping into the pool. Many people, however, overlook the importance of window coverings in achieving this goal. Please take note of your window treatments and their appearance and functionality as you open your windows. If you need to make some changes, spring is the best time.

Shades and blinds are an excellent way to increase energy efficiency and lower cooling costs. On a hot day, properly dressed windows will provide a cooler environment. Here are some window treatments to keep your home cool this summer:

• Shutters are a great addition to any room because their movable louvers allow you to adjust the light easily. Shutters on your sliding glass door or French doors can also help you control the amount of sunlight entering your room. They serve as a window insulation system while also adding to the home's aesthetic appeal. You can achieve better results by combining shutters and draperies.

• Another way to keep cool during the summer is to use blinds. Cool air may escape through horizontal blinds, but highly reflective blinds aid in maintaining the indoor temperature. Blinds give you flexibility by allowing you to control the amount of light and ventilation that enters the room. They completely enclose the window, preventing heat gain. 

• You can add cellular shades to your windows to provide insulation, reduce energy costs, and make the room more inviting in the summer and winter. Cellular shades help keep your home warm or on cold days by blocking out the hot summer sun. As a bonus, you can show off your style with various fabrics suitable for any room.
