Find New Replacement Window Shades for your Home
With fall fully here and winter on the way, now is the time to update your home decor to create welcoming spaces for friends and family to gather for the season. Shorter days give us more time to enjoy snuggled up with loved ones, so be sure there are spaces in your house to welcome them with open arms and a comfortable atmosphere.
The cooler weather gives us more time to spend indoors with those we love most. When you Work with our team at Mr. K’s Fabric Shop, we can help you find replacement window shades to control temperature and sound, diffuse light, and create welcoming gathering spots in your home.
Control Temperature with Insulating Shades
Step one in creating spaces at home that are comfortable for all seasons is better controlling the temperature of your home. The changing seasons means fluctuating indoor and outdoor temperatures, and up to 30% of a home’s energy gain or loss happens at the window. Plus, solar energy can heat your home and raise your indoor temperatures.
To keep your HVAC from running like crazy to keep up with these changes in heating and cooling, choose energy efficient shades to better protect your home.
- Honeycomb Cellular Shades: One of the best insulating shades on the market, honeycomb cellular shades block air at the window and are great for temperature control year-round. They also provide UV protection and block incoming rays by shielding the window and deflecting or absorbing the unwanted elements of incoming natural sunlight.
Diffuse Light with Sheer Shades
Choosing effective lighting solutions is another key element to consider when searching for replacement window shades to create welcoming spaces in your home. During the day, no one wants to be blinded by the light when they’re trying to relax.
When the sun is high in the sky, the glare from its rays can interfere with fun family activities and make TV screens or computer monitors unviewable when you’re trying to watch your family's favorite shows or videos. Control all the natural sunlight throughout your home with new replacement window shades with innovative features.
- Sheer Window Shades: Sheer fabrics make an incredible material choice for replacement window shades because they gently diffuse light—not blocking it completely. That way, your interiors benefit from soft, diffused natural sunlight that fills a room and makes it feel welcoming. The best modern sheer shades from Hunter Douglas also have the ability to block sunlight through the use of opaque fabric vanes that can be closed easily like blinds, and some designs are even capable of being raised up completely like roller shades. This means the window treatment can produce interior lighting appropriate for any family gathering, whether you want to take advantage of outside views or enjoy room-darkening effects.
- Designer Banded Shades: Another stylish option to control sunlight is with banded shades. Like sheer shades, this treatment is made from opaque and transparent materials joined in intermittent strips like blinds that can open or close to create a full range of lighting options. This is especially useful in the times of year with changing light outside, so you can vary and control the amount of light entering your home.
