| Blackout Curtains |
When you read the title of this
article you likely think that it’s a bit of an exaggeration. After all,
blackout curtains are just curtains, right? Well, according to some
studies – and many of our experiences with our customers – blackout
curtains may be a bigger deal then you think.
Are you ever interrupted by outdoor lights?
If you’re ever interrupted by outdoor lights in the room in which you sleep, then blackout curtains
can improve your sleep more than you may realize. You may think that
you’ve gotten used to the streetlight that lets in a little light under
your curtains, or the sun rising well before your alarm goes off, but
study after study has shown that light creeping in may not wake you up
but it can make it harder to sleep as deeply as you would in the dark.
Just ask the sleep experts
You’d be hard pressed to find a sleep
expert that wouldn’t recommend blackout curtains. They claim that the
way to get the longest and the best sleep is to sleep in a room that’s
dark, that eliminates light coming in from lights on the street, cars
driving by, or any other type of light pollution that could affect
sleep.
It’s harder to sleep through light as we age
The older a person gets, the more
light and sound they process even when they’re asleep. This can lead to
an inability to fall asleep or trouble staying asleep. As a result, as a
person gets older, they may have more and more of a need for solid blackout curtains or other blackout draperies.
Some homeowners simply prefer blackout curtains
Of course, sleeping well isn’t the
only reason that homeowners consider blackout curtains. Some have a home
theater, or simply a living room in which they watch television, and
they want blackout curtains to offer a theater-like atmosphere.
Whether you’re a shift worker who
sleeps a lot during the day, a 9-5 office worker who sleeps when the sun
is down but lives in a well-lit area, or a parent who wants their child
to be able to nap during the day, blackout curtains could change your
life. The good news is that while there used to be a real lack of
patterns, styles, and fabrics, today Half Price Drapes offers hundreds
of combinations in black out drapes. In fact, you can even have them
custom made to exactly meet your needs.

The news is out and it’s exciting:
Pantone’s color of the year for 2017 is greenery. This is a shade of
green that’s bright, cheerful, and warm. It brings to mind new
beginnings – which is what the new year’s all about. If you want to
incorporate it into your home, there’s no reason to get out the paint
bucket and change your entire décor. Just use these ideas to bring it
into your home in beautiful ways.
Get new pillows – or pillow covers – for your couch
Greenery fits in with a lot of
different color schemes. If you think it would work in your living room,
resist the urge to go out and buy brand new pillows. Instead, just buy pillow covers.
Half Price Drapes offers them in pairs and you’ll be impressed both
with our affordable prices and the quality pillows available to you.
Buy a new lamp
Adding a new lamp to a room, or
replacing an existing lamp, is a great way to bring in color without
making a major investment. If you love the lamp you have, then you might
even consider buying just a new lampshade that incorporates greenery.
This allows you to hold on to what you like while still bringing in a
new color.
Invest in new green curtains
Curtains are an affordable option to
update any room, and they offer a ton of benefits including increasing
energy efficiency, protecting against allergens, and more. We’re proud
to offer almost 40 different options in green curtains.
Choose from several different headers, a wide range of patterns,
different shades of green, and different fabrics. If you don’t find
exactly what you want, you can even order custom curtains.
Find a new piece of art
It’s always a great time to buy a new
piece of art, but this is even more true when it comes to incorporating
a color into your room. This is especially true for homeowners who
don’t feel that green would really work with their decor. What you can
do is buy a piece of art that incorporates the colors already in a room,
but also includes elements of greenery. This will allow you to add
other touches of green throughout the room and draw them in together.
Most people don’t want to totally
redesign their homes based on a trend, but adding a few splashes of this
lovely color certainly couldn’t hurt!
