As hurricane season continues, you may have let your guard down a bit, but we always advise to remain vigilant during this dangerous time of the year. Now, especially, with record high temperatures, the waters are warm in the Atlantic and the Gulf, which is a recipe for a storm to form at any moment. If you’re new to the area or you haven’t yet experienced a hurricane, it’s important to be as prepared as possible, and part of this preparation is knowing what to expect. Fortunately, we tend to receive ample notice when the threat of a storm is imminent, but the time for preparation flies by in a blink of an eye. When it comes to what to expect before, during and after a hurricane, let us bring you up to speed, so you can stay safe.

When it comes to blinds and shades, you have many options in all different shapes and sizes. From elegantly refined luxury sheers to textured woven woods, there’s a shade for virtually every room of the home. Among some of the most popular options out there are roller shades, which can complement many spaces of the home perfectly. This is why they’re so popular with many Southwest Florida homeowners. Not only are they available in a multitude of colors and styles, they’re also ultra-affordable, and not to mention beautiful. When it comes to roller shades, some rooms in the home can benefit from these particular shades more so than others. Here are the best rooms for roller shades.

The dining room tends to emanate a more graceful, elegant appeal. Perhaps an antique hutch sits in the corner or a handcrafted table occupies the center of the room. You may have more ornate light fixtures and artwork adorning the walls, which calls for window treatments that blend in with the ambiance of the room. Unlike other areas of the home, like the kitchen and bathrooms, which require more durable, moisture-tolerant window treatments, the dining room can showcase more delicate window coverings that mesh with the upscale vibe of the room. No matter the size or the style of your dining room, rest assured there’s a window treatment available to add a touch of sophistication to the space, and we’re here to help you find the perfect match. Here’s how to make your dining room dazzle with these top window treatments.

For this area of the home, as well as many other spaces, café shutters are becoming increasingly popular.
