Interior Shades– Having an interior shade in your home helps reduce the interior temperature by up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tint Windows–films reduce the cost of cooling by blocking up to 79% of the sun’s heat.

Cellular Shades– Cellular shades trap air in the “honeycomb” structure to limit the amount of warm air that escapes and acts as a buffer to prevent cold air from getting in.

Install an Energy Star–certified ceiling fan- This type of fan is 50% more efficient than others and can keep your home four degrees warmer in the winter by circulating the heat throughout the room.

Switch to a natural-gas water heater– This uses less than half the energy of an electric one, and turn the setting down to 120 degrees.

Are you looking to add style and decor to your home with window treatments? Here are some window treatment options for inspiration.

Adding wood blinds to a dining room makes the space look more casual. Plus, you can tilt or pull the blinds to let in natural light. Wood alloy blinds offer both beauty and functionality by combining the warmth and richness of genuine hardwood with modern ingenuity.

Aluminum blinds are a great window treatment choice for  Chicago homes with modern decor. The aluminum is also durable, long-lasting and blocks light well. They are specially coated to reduce dust build-up. Homeowners have an endless selection of aluminum blinds that are available in extensive palette of colors, textures and finishes.

For those who are energy conscious, consider featuring a solar screen shade in the dining room or even the kitchen. Solar screen shades help protect the kitchen countertops and accessories by blocking out UV rays and heat. They also still allow a view that won’t block you from enjoying the outdoors. Solar screen shades come in a variety of densities and colors that provide solar protection, along with reduced glare and brightness on work surfaces such as televisions and computer screens. 

Cellular shade evoke a more modern feeling in various rooms throughout the home. Adding a dark-colored shade to the room breaks up the monotony of the neutral wall colors while matching the furniture. The honeycomb shape insulates the room and a subtle pattern adds interest without overwhelming a calm color palette. Double honeycomb cellular shades block 100% of harmful UV light emitted by the sun. 

Sheer horizontal window shadings are another option when it comes to blinds for your home. They combine the soft look of shades with the functionality of blinds. They are light, airy and elegant, and great for windows and doors.

Shutters add dramatic décor while shutting out or letting in sunlight. It would be a shame if the tiniest little thing interfered with this beauty.

And that’s what happens. Those tiny little things are dust motes. Yes, common house dust.

It’s an allergen, it’s annoying, and it really becomes distracting when the sun pours through the windows to highlight its presence. Dusty blinds contribute to this air show of floating particles.

It’s about the easiest problem to control. Because shutters are so easy to clean and do not require a ton of care, you need only a few minutes to handle this chore.

For wood blinds, a soft cloth with a spritz of furniture polish on it will return the blinds to their shiny, pristine state. Why this recommendation? Because you want to keep water, which may cause warpage, away from wood blinds.

Aluminum, plastic, and faux wood blinds, on the other hand, can be wiped with a wet cloth. It will not harm them. Water with a bit of dish detergent will be an effective cleaning tool – just dry the blinds afterward.

Blinds are a wonderful addition to any room. They let light in or keep light and heat out and they can be raised or lowered to change the atmosphere entirely. They’re decorative and dramatic.

You will enjoy them even more if you keep them clean. When the sun shines in, your housekeeping skills are on display. Dust motes are always visible in bright light.

How do we keep the blinds neat and in their best working order? We suggest you dust them at least once a week. Cleaning tip: Close the blinds and dust in the direction of the slats. A soft cloth or a duster (feather or microfiber) should do the job.

Cleaning should be a consideration before purchase and installation. If you’re not keen on wielding a dust cloth, you might want to consider something other than a blind with slats.

The simplest to clean are cellular shades, which possess anti-static and dust-repelling properties. Use your vacuum cleaner’s brush attachment to make a gentle pass across the fabric to pick up any dust.

Keeping the blinds clean is also important if you like to have your windows open. Summer and fall can be vicious times for allergy sufferers, and you will certainly see pollen accumulating on blinds if you’ve been letting in fresh air. Rather than sneeze endlessly, get a cloth on those blinds, clean them well, and then rinse the cloth.
