If you’re feeling a bit down, saddened by the end of summer, and already missing the fun you had with friends and family, try focusing on the myriad ways you can update your home easily and inexpensively to uplift your spirits using window solutions. From Blinds, Belleville to Nutley, we can help transform your space and welcome in the fall. Here are the reasons updates to your home can change your perspective.

Light can be beneficial or detract from your daily experiences. Ensuring that you have enough darkness in your bedroom to get quality sleep by helping your circadian rhythms. When light pollution from street lamps, passing traffic, or spotlights from neighbors interrupts your sleep, your health and focus during the day can suffer. Blackout Shades can help you get the sleep your body needs to perform optimally.

Light is also a powerful tool for changing your mood so you want to make sure that natural light flows into your home during the day. When you are working from home all week or in a hybrid capacity, it is important to get enough sun as it has the potential to reduce the levels of stress hormones in your body. Protecting your view of the outside world has many benefits for your mental health, providing a sense of grounding emotionally and giving you the enjoyment of nature while you work or spend time with your family. Light filtering window treatments like Blinds, Belleville to Livingston, can work wonders in the rooms where you spend the most time, including the kitchen, living room, and home office.

Color also plays a part in influencing our moods. Warmer colors like orange, red and yellow are considered to evoke emotions of comfort. These colors can energize or inspire creativity. Cooler colors like purple, green and blue can bring a sense of calmness to a space. In window solutions, neutral colors tend to be the most popular options as gray, white and beige are perfect accent colors, reflecting light and making a space feel open. Consider updating your wall colors for a fall refresh. If you have a modern aesthetic with walls that are white or neutral, think about using a pop of color in the form of window solutions like Metallic Aluminum Blinds in Belleville or rich, stained Wood Shutters in the Caldwells.

Sprucing up your favorite rooms with a weekend deep dive of a clean can declutter your home, alleviating stress and anxiety. Organize spaces that have become messy with items that have piled up over the summer. Getting rid of dust cuts down on irritants and allergens in your home so make sure to clean fixtures, get behind furniture, and of course, clean your window solutions to improve air quality. If you have Roman Shades or Drapery Panels, do a thorough vacuum with the attachment to get rid of dust and pet dander.
