Rainy Day Plans – Are You Prepared?

by Christen

Well, it’s raining again, and you’re stuck in your cave space of choice, perhaps with dreams of blanket forts dancing through your thoughts.  You’re not surprised by this all-too-common weather but you’re experiencing some serious grey-sky blues.  So how do you come out of “le funk”?

Light.

There’s always some amount of light even in the gloomiest storms, and sometimes a room only lit with buzzing electricity makes everything drearier instead of cheerier.  Who goes to buy a new home and says, “I love this great room but it could use some more light bulbs.  We must consider getting more watts.”  What?  Nobody.

Let natural light in with silhouette sheer shades

The beauty is in the light you let in – but enough of that inspirational mumbo-jumbo – I’m talking about the wonder of sheer shades in the rain!  With sheer shades, like Hunter Douglas Silhouette® privacy sheers, you can choose the perfect amount of light to let in.

Another option for the chic folks interested in being au natural in overcast weather is wooden blinds like the Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.  Warm wood texture, energy efficient insulation, and the ability to trick your room into any time of day or night seem mighty fine on the dampest of days.

Provenance Woven Wood Shades

Do you want the dark, forbidden cave of chocolate and guilty pleasure television?  Done.  Do you want to squeeze out every last ray from every cloud?  Done.  Or, for all you avid snoozers, an automated window treatment would be perfect.

For those who want to wake up after a good snooze you can have all the natural light you can get with the flip of a switch.  For those who want to “read” some more, consider the Platinum® App and enjoy the power of adjusting privacy and opacity synced with your iPhone, iPod Touch.

Whatever your agenda may entail, in whichever room of your humble abode, sheer shades and woven wooden blinds can be tailored to any taste.  You just need to pick your flavor.
