Made in the Shade suggests shades for wide windows in your Prescott home

Wide windows require special coverings with light and privacy options. Made in the Shade shares some ideas for shades and window coverings for wide windows in your Prescott home.

• Blinds for wide windows 

You will want blinds that offer fingertip control to achieve a variety of lighting effects. Dark blinds are great for a dramatic effect, but remember, you will need to dust them more often than light-colored blinds. Lighter colored blinds can visually enlarge and provide more light from a wide window.

• Metal versus vinyl blinds 

Metal and vinyl horizontal blinds are often used for wide windows. Operating mechanisms are stronger on metal blinds. Also, vinyl blinds are affected by temperature extremes, which result in sagging and even cracking when used in wide windows.

• Soft blinds 

Soft blinds can be a great option for wide windows. These specialty blinds are available in both vertical and horizontal slats. Because of their room-darkening and light-filtering options they can be a luxurious alternative for large window openings. Soft cellular shades or pleated fabric provide a variety of lighting effect choices and are a lighter weight option for wide windows.

Made in the Shade can help you choose the right coverings for wide windows and more at your Prescott home or business.

Made in the Shade discusses the benefits of plantation shutters for your Prescott home

With cooler weather on the way, plantation shutters are a great way to help keep your home warm, secure and beautiful. Made in the Shade explains why plantation shutters are a great choice for your Prescott home.

Plantation shutters are louvered panels which fix either on the inside or outside of your home's windows. They are available in painted or stained finishes and can be waterproofed for bathrooms or swimming pool areas. Types of plantation shutters include cafe style, full height or tiered.

Aesthetic Advantages

• Cafe-style plantation shutters cover only the bottom half of a window which helps homeowners enjoy plenty of light while still maintaining privacy.

• Full-length plantation shutters are designed to cover your entire window and are a smart choice for your home as well as your office.

• Tiered shutters also cover your entire window but they are divided into two sections. This is a perfect solution for privacy while allowing you to open sections of the shutters on bright, sunny days.

Cost-savings
As the weather turns colder, many homeowners find themselves turning up the heat meaning higher utility bills. Plantation shutters help insulate your home from the cold by minimizing heat loss. When you close your shutters, you provide another layer of protection between the inside air and your windows.

Privacy
Plantation shutters offer a great deal of flexibility because of the ability to open and close them by sections. When you want to let in more light and still maintain your privacy, merely adjust the louvers so that view from the outside is blocked.

Made in the Shade offers a full range of plantation shutters than can be custom built to suit your home's style. If you want to know more about the many advantages of plantation shutters for your Prescott home or office, schedule an in-home consultation with the window-treatment experts at Made in the Shade.
