2. Luxurious Solutions for Your Window Treatment
A beautiful glass ceiling or skylight will always be a great focal point of the room. At the same time, they are impressive architectural structures that will let endless natural light in. However, especially in south facing rooms, it might get unbearably hot, and bright and even help damage your furniture. With all the new glazing invading the renovated houses, concealed blinds and shades are a good solution for window treatment. For instance, Blindspace has developed an innovative, functional and attractive solution that works even with those awkward slopped corners and windows.
These blinds can be used to black out a cinema room completely, softly filter sunlight, decrease glare, and protect against UV fading of the interiors. Most installations use electric motors, while small roof roller blinds can also be operated manually. Each blind may be independently controlled or grouped and regulated all at once using a wall switch, remote control, or any home automation system. Motorized blinds can insulate your rooms throughout the year, regardless of the season, making it comfortable at all times, whether it's a chilly winter or a warm summer day. As a result, it also saves energy and contributes to the property's value.
As for more traditional interiors, we like to dress up our windows with curtains. The question is, "How can a curtain add value to the house?" Let us share some tips with you. You can install hidden curtain tracks that will give a more sophisticated look to your room. All you need is a dip in the ceiling plasterboard or to push back the cornice, creating a gap to hide the track behind it. It can be just a concealed track which is more cost-effective than the others but still give an upgraded look. Even better if you go with a silent track by Silent Gliss.
