These days, the abundance of choice you are given when it comes to window furnishings is almost overwhelming.
With the window industry continually creating innovative concepts and designs to suit almost every style, every taste and every fashion it can become a consumer’s nightmare.
To figure out exactly what furnishing would suit your living space, and one that is still within their budget Cail Lenard, Marketing Manager at Accent Blinds, recommends block out fabrics for blinds and curtains. ‘‘For the energy efficient, blockout fabrics for blinds and curtains are an easy way to save on your energy bill as well as help look after the environment,’’ Ms Lenard said. ‘‘The functionality behind this fabric means your home is kept cool in summer and warm in winter.’’
Along with blockout fabrics, Ms Lenard also recommends the Honeycomb Shade – a product which insulates and traps air in the cell structure. The design incorporates honeycomb like cells which trap the air, ensuring your home is kept cool in summer, warm in winter. ‘‘The result of installing this type of furnishing in your windows is, you save on energy costs and it adds a unique soft touch to your windows.’
For your colour selection, Ms Lenard says to steer towards charcoal, soft grey and taupe tones. ‘‘These tones have a very inviting and sumptuous appearance, they will compliment your interior furnishings and create a balanced invigorating living space.”

Plantation Shutters Can Protect You From Cold Weathers
Installing plantation shutters in your windows is a practical way to cope up with the changing weather all year long because it is cost and energy efficient. You can live comfortably in your house whatever the season may be.
In a few weeks, it will already be winter. Are you prepared for the cold weather that will engulf your surroundings? Will the inside of your house be warm enough for you to be comfortable especially during the nights? There are many ways you can stay warm during those nights but there is one that is cost and energy efficient among its advantages—installing plantation shutters.
Windows are parts of the house that largely contributes to the temperature of the house. During summer, the summer heat can enter the house through the windows that can make the inside very hot and uncomfortable. On the other hand, it can also cause your house to be cold during winter nights. Blinds and shades may protect you from the summer heat but may not be efficient for winter.
Plantation shutters can keep your house cool during the summer and warm during the winter. During those hot days, the shutters deflect the sunlight so as not to add to the temperature of the house and keep it cooler than the air outside. On the other hand, the shutters act as insulation during the cold days and prevent the heat inside the house from escaping.
By being able to efficiently function whatever the season is, it is a cost-effective alternative to be cold during the summer and be warm during the winter. It is also energy efficient since you can lower the air-conditioning during the summer and the heater on winter.
Another advantage of the plantation shutters is that it can easily complement the interior design of your house. There are many designs and materials to choose from and it can be custom-made to perfectly fit your needs. From classic designs made of wood to modern fashionable design made of plastic or steel, shutters can function efficiently without compromising the aesthetics of your house.
