Custom
drapes have become somewhat of a fad in
the home décor marketplace as of late. With property values soaring and the art
of refurbishing a property to add value, homeowners
are constantly on the hunt for ways in which to increase the asking price of
their home. Custom drapes fitted and ready to go are one way to bump up the final value of a home.
Here are just some
of the reasons why drapes are so popular:
1.
The
addition of style and warmth
In
countries where cool or cold winters are common drapes act as an insulator.
They keep in the heat in when closed helping to preserve electricity or keep in
the heat from a log fire. Custom drapes can be cut to fit the window area perfectly and
designed to sit against the wall reducing any gaps between the window area and
the wall where heat can escape.
All
the while the drapes are insulating the room, they also add style to the room.
Everyone has different tastes of course. However, the word custom also means the
material, color, thickness, and patterns
can all be customized.
2.
Providing
complete privacy
As
mentioned above, drapes can be cut perfectly fit the window they cover. They
are also great for glass doors in the house leading to other rooms or outside.
Drapes that are custom measured and fitted will close off any space between the
window and the room that people can pear through. With the right size, drapes
provide complete privacy.
They
are also great for separating rooms into two when privacy is needed in another
area of the room.
3.
Protecting
furniture, floors,and carpets from UV
Rays
UV
rays cause unseen damage to furniture and floors in the house. These rays
become even more harmful when they are magnified by windows as well as reflect
off mirrors and other glass objects in a room. Although there is always a toss-up between letting light into a room and
protecting the room from fading in color.
Most
people tend to close the drapes in the room
they are not using during the day. This is especially important to do in rooms
that have a lot of wood in them and why custom drapes are very popular.
4.
Keeping
rooms cool
Just as drapes act as insulation for the
warmth, they can also keep in the cold. In hot climates where people use aircon
the opposite problem to letting heat out will come into play. Drapes can keep the heat out or rather keep the
cool air from escaping. Even if the aircon is not on, by closing the drapes in
a room in which the sun directly shines into it can keep the room from heating
up.
In
countries with cold winters and hot summers, drapes are extremely popular
because they offer two notable benefits, which include keeping the heat in and
out.
