3 More Tips to Make Your Home Feel Alive
Use Window Treatments to Optimize Natural Light
If there’s one thing we’re experts at here at Budget Blinds of Scottsdale… Well, actually there’s plenty we are experts on, but for our purposes today we’re talking about window treatments! You can use window treatments to enhance the natural light while still controlling glare and harmful UV. Consider using motorized shades or blind that let in the outdoor light and offer incredible convenience. Motorized shades are available in a variety of colors, styles and patterns, and their varying opacity levels let you determine the exact amount of natural light that you want to let in.
Sleek, Minimal, Calm
Less is more! Don’t get it twisted though, many folks think minimalism means sterile, or lifeless. It doesn’t have to be that way! The design trend has been around for 60 years and shows no signs of leaving soon. The stripped down designs use only the most essential, necessary components of anything, getting rid of excess. Sometimes this means items looking like natural counterparts, as nature evolves in a utilitarian manner, other times it’s clean lines, geometric shapes. Simplicity. The simplicity gives a sense of peace, a lack of clutter, a calmness. Think of it like a Zen rock garden, simple geometric shapes and a calmness in the design which in turn gives you a calmness as well.
Now, this might not be the most obvious way to breathe life into your home, after all life is usually associated with activity and busyness but the peaceful qualities of minimal design can be a reward all it’s own, making your home more conducive to a good life.
Accent Touches Pack Power
Accent pieces like pillows or rugs can be designed in such a way as to mimic organic shapes, looks, and feels, bringing more faux biodiversity to your living room! They can come in soft green colors and particular patterns or materials that speak to moss, a rug could be made to resemble the fur of an animal, again bringing life into your home. Complement the outdoors through judicious use of accent touches and again, bring the outdoors into your home, making your living room an extension of your environment.
When it comes to accents, Budget Blinds has you covered! We have hundreds of colors and patterns to choose from that complement the natural beauty of the outdoors.
