The Best Window Coverings to Beat the Heat This Summer.

             Keeping Cool in Style: The Best Window Coverings to Beat the Heat this Summer in your Kentucky Home.

As the temperatures start to rise in Kentucky and the sun shines brighter, keeping your home cool becomes a top priority. The team at Blinds by Design knows that one effective way to beat the heat and stay comfortable during the Kentucky summer months is by choosing the right window coverings. Not only do our wide selection of coverings provide relief from the heat, but they also add a touch of flair and sophistication to your living space. Let's explore some of the best window coverings that can help you stay chill and stylish this summer.

1. Solar Shades: Sun’s Worst Enemy

Think of solar shades as sunglasses for your windows. Solar shades are specifically designed to block UV rays and reduce heat gain while maintaining visibility and natural light. These shades are made from tightly woven, high-tech fabric that filters light effectively, preventing it from turning into heat inside your home. Blinds by Design’s wide selection of Solar Shades come in various opacity levels, which allows you to control just how much sunshine sneaks in, you’ll be reigning supreme over the sun’s attempt to turn your Kentucky home into a sauna.

2. Cellular Shades: the Cozy Cocoon

Cellular shades aren’t just pretty honeycombs, they’re your secret weapon against unwanted heat. Cellular shades are excellent insulators that trap air within their cells, creating a barrier between your windows and the interior of your Kentucky home. This innovative design helps regulate the indoor temperature by keeping the heat out during summer and the warmth in during winter. It’s like giving your windows a warm hug in the winter and a cool high-five during the hot Kentucky summer. Blinds by Design carries a wide range of Cellular shade colors, textures, and opacities to match your style preferences.

3. Blackout Drapery: Snooze in Stylish Darkness

While blackout curtains are well-known for their light blocking properties, they also play a significant role in reducing heat transfer. Blackout curtains are your key to a blissful, uninterrupted sleep during those endless Kentucky summer evenings. Bid farewell to pesky sun rays and say hello to a room draped in chic darkness, perfect for catching those Z's in total style day or night. Blinds by Design offers hundreds of fabric options. Let us help you design custom drapery/curtains that will elevate your home’s style to the next level. Expert tip: Opt for light colored blackout fabrics to reflect heat and brighten up your space.

4. Outdoor Shades: Al Fresco Bliss

If your Kentucky home has a patio, deck, or outdoor living area, take the cool factor outside with outdoor shades. Outdoor shades can significantly enhance your comfort during the summer. These shades are designed to block the sun's rays before they reach your windows, reducing heat gain and glare. Outdoor shades are made from durable materials that can withstand various weather conditions while adding a touch of sophistication to your outdoor oasis. Blinds by Design offers a wide selection of textures and colors that complement the style of your patio space.

5. Natural Woven Shades: Eco-Chic Vibes

For a natural and eco-friendly option, consider natural woven shades to keep your house cool in style. Natural woven shades provide a breezy, laid-back vibe to your interiors while offering light filtering and heat reduction properties. The organic material of jute, bamboo, wood, & grasses helps create a refreshing and airy atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious Kentucky homeowners seeking sustainable window coverings. You’ll love the selection of hundreds of cool, on-trend natural woven fabrics available at Blinds by Design!
