Trending Towards Solar Shades in 2009, Sunglasses for your Windows
Filed under: info
Get this: Solar Shades increased in popularity nearly 63% from 2007 to 2008. Why is this small category experiencing rapid growth? Because they do a fantastic job of blocking solar heat – energy savings, woohoo! The room will literally cool down the instant you hang the shade. They are one of the best and most popular options for reducing glare on your flat screen television and computer monitor (which is why Starbucks uses them), and they protect your furniture, carpet, and paint from fading in the sun. They’re one of the only modern/contemporary products that accomplishes all of these things… without breaking the bank.
Usually made from semi-sheer vinyl material, they roll up tightly, giving you an unobstructed view to the street when you want it. They’re usually neutral in color – though colorful or patterned Solar Shades are gaining popularity as well – and won’t detract from your décor, if that’s important to you. They look fabulous with other window treatments, like valances and drapery panels. Most are available cordless, if you don’t want pesky cords dangling down, distracting from your design, or endangering your kids. Another reason they’re so popular is because they’re affordable and easy to install. You literally screw in two brackets and pop the shade in place. It’s super easy, but give them impression that you spent hours.
Solar shades are very versatile; they’ll work for you if you need inside or outside mounted shades. Luckily, they’re very narrow, and will usually fit inside of your window frame, even if you don’t have a lot of depth.
These Solar Shades are mounted as two on one headrail with the beaded cord lift option:
Some creative ideas:
1. Install Solar Shades over your screen door. Leave the screen open and pull the shade down in the summer so you can still see and hear your kids playing in the backyard without harsh heat flowing in.
2. Cover large windows with Solar Shades. Usually less expensive than other products, they’ll get the job done and look good doing it. This makes them perfect for apartment dwellers.
3. Cover sun room windows. Most people think sun room windows are impossible to cover… they’re not. Solar shades are available in very large sizes. Order than extra long and extra wide for full coverage when you want it.
A great customer posted this comment about the Economy Sheerweave Solar Shade , and it made me smile:
“I purchased this blind for my Mother-In-Law who has Macular Degeneration. Before the blind was installed, she was closing her living room draperies all day to avoid the glare from the sun and snow. After the blind was installed She can see through it without a glare or hurting her eyes. She is very happy that she can watch the birds and squirrels again! I am very happy that this has helped her so much. Thank You for offering a product that has given her some quality of sight again.“
Style, quality, and capability make this one of the most popular and still-growing categories. Give one a try and see what you think.
Happy Decorating,
White. I call it the one essential color by Barbara

Window Blinds: Hot Styles
Filed under: info
HYDERABAD: Windows play an important part in emphasising the individual character of the place, blending in a coherent scheme. Whilst the window is often the last element to be considered when decorating a room it can actually make a big difference to a room’s overall style. The use of blinds as a decorative element is increasingly popular and when selected carefully can set the tone of a room and make a fashion statement in its own right.
Hunter Douglas, a Holland-based manufacturer and supplier of blinds and awnings, has an extensive range of blinds that can enhance or transform a living space. Blinds are increasingly the fashionable alternative to curtains, allowing homeowners to control the degree of sunlight, shade, ventilation and privacy in a room, says P K Sundaramoorthy, MD , Hunter Douglas. There is a vast array of window blinds available from Hunter Douglas:
Panel blinds These provide a versatile window covering and are set to make a big impact this year, looking fabulous in both contemporary and traditional interior design schemes. Panel blinds can also be used as a stylish room divider; providing the flexibility to create either a large space when open, or a little seclusion when closed.
Perfect Fit Pleated blinds These neat, modern blinds are both practical and popular lending a contemporary style to any room or conservatory. The revolutionary fitting mechanism means the blind can be installed ‘perfectly’ into windows and creates a comfortable environment in a conservatory all year round.
Venetian blinds Create a modern, uncluttered look. Venetian blinds offer style and sophistication to any room and give great flexibility – pull the blinds up to let light flood in, or lower the blinds and tilt the slats for intimate privacy. To determine the amount of light entering the room, the angle of the slats can be altered to allow daylight and sun control.
Roller blinds It is perfectly suited to kitchens and bathrooms adding simple style to any room. The fabric reduces glare while filtering incoming light, says G Swaminathan, regional manager – South, Hunter Douglas.
Vertical blinds Sleek, vertical lines create a distinctly neat effect, whilst allowing maximum control of light and privacy. Vertical blinds are ideal for patio doors and can be tilted to an angle or pulled back completely to provide a clear view of the outside world. Add life and beauty to your window with a variety of blinds.
