Spring offers great chance to improve your window treatments

Spring is the time of renewal, so while everything is turning green outside, now could be the time to improve the aesthetic appeal of your home with new window treatments. Adrienne Micci-Smith of Curtain Call in Shelton, Connecticut, recently interviewed with WTNH to share her design philosophy and the new technologies in window treatments.

New window treatments can improve the look of your home, increase your privacy, provide light filtering, sound absorption and hold many energy-efficient qualities. If your old blinds or shades have been looking shabby, new technologies in window treatments will allow them to be far more functional and visually pleasing than ever before.

Micci-Smith shared her insights for window treatments with the news source and explained that there are two main kinds of coverings: fabric and hard treatments. Fabric products offer endless design possibilities can can create depth and personality in your space. Hard treatments such as wood, aluminum or cell shades are more durable and many carry energy-efficiency benefits.

Solar screen shades are perfect for homeowners that want to reduce glare and control temperature in their homes. In addition, silverscreen shades will partially block UV rays and still give the user a view to the outside.
