Benefits Of Insulating Curtains
One of the quickest and most affordable ways to insulate your home is to dress your windows with thermal or insulated curtains. But… isn’t it boring – thermal curtains? It’s not really pleasant to the ear. When I tried to imagine these draperies, I thought about some heavy and black looking drapes that are hanged over my windows and ruining the home I no longer wish to live in. I was so mistaken! You can fins some really beautiful thermal drapes that are suitable for your home, there are really a lot of options to choose from!
Combine these warm draperies with regular window treatments that will beautify your windows so you can protect yourself during hot summer days and cold winter nights. You get all of this without the need for more money, you won’t spend it on airconditioning or heating!
There are more than a dozen people who think that insulating window treatments are used to keep th hot air inside the home. If you also think so, you will be surprised. Thermal curtains have many others advantages: they provide a nice coolness in the room in hot weather, they can reduce noise that comes outside, and in addition, many of them have blackout feature, which is really great for a bedroom, a nursery or a home theater.
What are insulated curtains actually? You will see that they are looking just like any other type of curtains, their only difference is the thermal backing foam. You will find many fabrics within these products, some of them being polyester and other cotton. It’s a blend that allows easy cleaning so machine washing is allowed. Your current interior decoration doesn’t have to change much, there are many different desings and colors to choose from when it comes to insulated drapes. The additional advantage of them is its really affordable price.
Insulated drapes and thermal curtains are not the only thing you can use as a insulated window treatment. So, if you are still not sure about thermal window treatments, consider window blinds, shades and shutters.

DÉCOR TIPS & QUIPS from AlphabetPIX.com
Bringing Out Your Inner BOLD!
Bill Blass said, “Style is primarily a matter of instinct.” Decorating takes on a new meaning for each individual. Clever and chic for Janie may be yesterday’s yawn-fest for Carol. Different tastes in décor mean different furniture, artwork and color palettes. So what is the rule of thumb for making your place zing if it’s not a certain style, pattern, or color?
Bold, baby! Bring on the bold!
Boldly say what you want to say when designing a room. Make a statement and let your personality shine through. If you go in for the palest blues to soothe and relax, add a custom zing to make it pop! Love black and white photography? Maybe even some of that ultra-hot photo alphabet wall art in black and white? Splash in some passionate pink or revved up red on the wall to make it sizzle.
No longer are walls content with neutral shades. Any color of the palette goes! Splash on muted melons or eccentric eggplants with savvy sage. Classic colors cozy up with velvety crimsons and Dijon yellows. Color is fantastically bold and beautiful! Rich textured throws, swags, rugs and runners jazz up every room, every time.
Patterns are all the rage now, too. Twists and twirls, paisleys and pearls-bold is key! Did you ever in a million years think of dotting stripes and striping dots? Designers these days are pulling out all the geometrical stops. Paisley mixes with all sorts of combinations-checks, polkas, and weathered solids. Discover a new way of looking at the world around you in different shapes and deigns.
Mix it all with gorgeous gilding in silver and gold. Toss in a few well-chosen accents-bold and beautiful. And with the trend of decor becoming more and more personalized, a meaningful piece of photography will make you feel right at home. Black and white as well as the historic look of sepia photography looks gorgeous in any room. Add all these ingredients together, and you’ve got yourself a decorating design that not only expresses your individual style but does so as personally and beautifully as you want it to.
Whatever you want to say while decorating, say it with your own personal sense of style. Put it out there for the world to see and don’t look back! Embrace your individuality whether your nature is “Janie jazzed” or “Carol calm”. Express yourself! When people enter your home they’ll shoot you a complementary smile, knowing it looks and feels sooooo perfectly like you. And no one can do YOU better.
