Cellular Shades
Cellular or honeycomb shades are another choice for window shades. These shades use fabric in a honeycomb design. The unique honeycomb shape of these window shades creates a pocket of air that acts as an insulator, making these window blinds a perfect choice for anyone interested in running their home more energy efficiently. They are available in many widths and double or single honeycomb, with the double providing twice the insulating properties.
Cellular shades also come in many colors so chances are that you can find cellular window shades to match any room's color scheme. These shades are also available in corded or cordless options for anyone who prefers the uncluttered look of shades without cords.
Interior Window Shutters
Interior window shutters are similar to wood or faux wood window blinds. Shutters, however, do not rise up and down and instead the slats move to let in light or to darken a room. Oftentimes the shutter slats are larger than those of wood blinds, which creates a beautiful, uncluttered look to any room.
Shutters are available in vinyl, wood or faux wood finishes. They are easily found in white, ivory or natural wood colors so that they can match any room's style.
New window shades will brighten up any room and picking a timeless style of window blinds will save you from replacing them every few years. Wood or faux wood blinds, cellular window shades and interior window shutters are a beautiful and easy way to update the look of any room in your home.
