Make Outdoor Living More Comfortable
By JENNIFER MURPHY
Summer is here. It’s when we love to spend most of our time outdoors.
There is plenty to do from barbequing your favorite foods to partying
with friends and family. All of it sounds like a lot of fun, but you need to
prepare your backyard before you can plan your next summer bash.
Budget Blinds® can help make your outdoor living space more comforta-
ble with any or all of these outdoor items.
A beautiful way to enclose a seating area is with shutters
Protect your patio furniture from harmful sun with solar shades
Solar shades are a must-have when it comes to outdoor window
coverings. They can be installed to enclose a porch or patio. Solar
shades’ main purpose is to diffuse light and shield against solar heat
gain, which is ideal if you face extremely hot summers. They come in
a wide selection of fabrics and colors to add a touch of style to your
outdoor living space. There is a large range of openness levels, too,
which make it possible to have a clear view if you choose, or a
completely dark shade for some additional privacy. And solar shades
come in wide widths to cover large areas.
If you are looking for a dramatic window covering for the outdoors,
window shutters are your solution. Shutters are one of the most
beautiful window treatments that can be custom-made for your
outdoor living space. Aluminum shutters are designed to be extremely
durable, making them ideal for any type of weather. Exterior shutters
can be used to create an outdoor room that will provide you with a
view when open and privacy when closed. Budget Blinds offers an
array of colors and finishes to match your outdoor décor. Shutters are
great, especially if you have children or pets; because they are
cordless, they are a safe choice.
Outdoor fabrics come in a variety of colors and patterns
A rug will add some color and texture to your outdoor living area
Adding an outdoor rug will spruce up your living space. Budget Blinds
has a wide selection of area rug styles from traditional to modern. Rugs
are a great way to add instant texture and color to an area. They can
be used in outdoor spaces such as patios, decks and porches. Outdoor
area rugs are made for extreme conditions because they are resistant
to stains and weather. The area rug will protect your floor from water
damage and shield your feet from the hot ground. Rugs can transform
your outdoor living space into a comfortable summer retreat.
Outdoor drapes are a simple way to add color and texture to your
outdoor living space. Budget Blinds’ exclusive Inspired Drapes®
Collection carries fashion-forward outdoor drapes that will look great
in any backyard. There are endless design possibilities with the fun,
flirty fabrics that will complete your outdoor look. If you are worried
about the drapes getting wet due to the weather or a large splash from
the pool, don’t. The materials are water-repellent. Also, your drapes
will always look fresh because they are anti-bacterial, anti-microbial,
and UV resistant so they hold their color, Outdoor drapes are an easy,
yet functional, outdoor window treatment.
