If you live in a home without AC (almost every household in the UK) or somewhere with lots of windows, seasonal heat can be a hard problem to beat. Enjoying some extended daylight in our homes is lovely, but not when the temperatures start soaring. Clever window treatments are essential for blocking out heat and making your home feel cool — but is it possible to find options that also look cool, while doing it?
In short: yes. While changing your curtains seasonally often means opting solely for functionality, failing to consider style altogether could mean having bland-looking window treatments for a large part of the year. On the other hand, a curated treatment can completely transform a room. So, the type you choose needs to have both. Will it be blinds, shades, sheers, or curtains?
