December 17, 2019

Now that the holidays are swiftly approaching, it's a great reason to get your Riverside home in order for friends and family. Like every year, there’s the usual trees lights and present wrapping that should to be completed before everyone is allowed in. But is your home, itself, looking festive as it could? Or could it use some updated furniture, lighting fixtures and energy-efficient interior shutters?

If you want to provide an inviting atmosphere, try some of these ways to improve your home for the holidays.

Dress Your Windows With Energy-Efficient Interior Shutters

By installing plantation shutters over your windows, you give your room a classic feeling that also brings out your holiday decorations. Shutters also can effectively restrict sun glare from sunrise to sunset. They work great in rooms like the dining room, so nobody has to share their turkey dinner with a annoying sunset hitting them in their eyes.

By improving your Riverside home for the holidays with plantation shutters, you gain both style and energy-efficiency. That’s because when Jack Frost comes around, you can shut the treatments for an energy-efficient benefit. Plantation shutters are known as the premier window coverings to block air flowing through your windows -- and that keeps the pleasant air inside and the chilly air out.

Of course, if you are looking to pair energy-efficiency with status, you should go for a faux wood interior shutter, like our Polywood® shutters. Polywood is up to 70% more energy-efficient than basswood shutters and up to 1600% more energy-efficient than aluminum blinds. You are able to even cover your unusually shaped windows with Polywood plantation shutters, which means that every window will look great while still providing energy-efficiency.

It’s Time For Updated Furniture In The Family Room

After your windows are dressed, you should look at what your friends will be sitting on. If your chairs, couches, and tables are starting to show their age, the holidays are a wonderful time to find replacements. By switching out an old couch, or bringing-in a set of leather chairs by a small side table, you can give your rooms a feeling that’s perfect for lounging around. Plus, your family will be much happier sitting on a chair that wasn’t made during the Eisenhower administration. After all, those cushions can’t get any cleaner.

Add Decorations To Each Room In The House

You strung the lights and decked out the downstairs in festive embellishments. But there’s no greater feeling for your overnight guests than waking up to a touch of holiday magic in their bedroom. And a tiny wreath in the kitchen can raise your spirits when you’re stressing about dinner and desserts.

Decorations don’t have to be overbearing, and don’t think that you need a house filled withmultiple decked-out trees. But a modest touch here or there can do a lot for your holiday morale.

Improve Your Riverside House For The Holidays By Changing Out Dull Lighting Fixtures

Ensuring that your lighting fixture fits your needs should be on your holiday improvement list.

New sofas, decorations, and energy-efficient plantation shutters are nice, but it doesn’t matter if they are sitting in the dark.

Most lights are simple to put up and can transform your space. TheylLighting can eliminate room shadows cast from furniture. If a new fixture isn’t in the cards, just make sure the ones you have are full of new bulbs. And adding a dimmer switch can allow you to adapt the fixtures to you holiday tree lights.
