Your home is everything to you, and it should be a place to come that is safe and relaxing. It doesn't matter where you live, when you pull up to your house, it should be your special place.

Since there are a lot of improvements we can make to our homes, whether its getting new furniture, adding a deck in the back yard, creating a beautiful garden, one often overlook area is how we surround our windows. We tend to not pay much attention to the windows as long as they are already covered up, but if you really think about it, a nice looking window can add a lot of character to a home both on the inside and out.

When you think of all things you can do with your windows, rather than replacing them, you can make them stand out more by sprucing them up with new blinds, shutters or putting an awing above
them outside. There are many possibilities that you probably never even thought of.

Proper blinds, shutters and awnings can even reduce your energy bill. They will block out the harsh sun and glare making your home much cooler. You may want to consider blackout blinds where you can control the shade in a room if you do have a high energy bill.

Nice looking blinds can accent a room depending on the color size and shape. There are even electric ones where you push a button, and they automatically go up and down.

On the outside of the house, you can add a little bit of color with some nice looking shutters. They also break up the lines of the house making a dull paint job come up to life. Shutters that close can add some privacy and also warmth in the winter by preventing cold air from blowing in.

Awnings are a nice touch, especially ones that cover the patio area. They reduce the glare of the sun and also keep more shade on the house. They too are good for reducing energy costs. A nice awning can make the outside of the house look better too. In addition to blocking out the heat that tend to fall on windows and make them much hotter.
