Summer Window Decor

Summer is here, so spruce up your space to enjoy the season both inside and outside of your
home. Adding summer window treatments and decor is a great way to add something more to
your space while still keeping the heat out. Takedown those heavy curtains and replace them
with something light and bright but will still help keep the heat out of your home. Explore what
option is the best for your home this summer.

Keeping the Heat Out

Pick a fabric that is soft and neutral. Dark colors absorb more heat, making the inside of your
home warmer. Dark colors don't allow for any sun to come in--which can be a damper on energy
for some.

Energy Star windows are not only a great way to save money, but they help cool down your
