In window treatment, we are faced with two most popular options; blinds and windows. And most of the time, we are confused since both of the option look interesting. However, if you are able to distinguish between the two, you won’t have that confusion anymore. In this article, I’d like to point out to you the differences of blinds and curtains so that you can make up your mind and be successful in treating your windows.

Some of the positive points of blinds is their practicality. Blinds are easy to install and they are also easy to clean. Besides that, they are also usually not that expensive. With a couple of dollars, you can get a good blond with good quality. However, blinds also lack that beauty of curtains. They can create that beauty curtains can make. Another downside is that, they can not stop the light from outside from entering.

Unlike blinds, curtains can really make your windows beautiful. When it is opened, it will make a charming frame for your windows. The accessories that come with the curtains also make your windows more beautiful. Insulation is also one of its benefits. Curtains can keep the heat inside making your room warm.

But, curtain also has downsides, mostly related with their treatment. They need special care in keeping them clean. They are also relatively harder to clean.

That’s why it is important to make it as cozy as possible so that everybody can have a good and warm atmosphere. There are 5 things you should consider to make a living room cozy.

The first is color. Choose a color that is not too bright. Avoid colors that are frustrating such as red, yellow and orange. Choose warm colors instead such as blue, green and grey. Those colors will warm up your living room.

Next is clutter. Clutters make people feel stress. Avoid clutters by choosing the right accessories for your living room. Too many accessories are not good and too little also will make your living room dull.

After that pay attention also to lightings. Good lighting will create a warm atmosphere as well. You can choose bright overhead light for the family to play board games or you may also want to have small lights on small tables on the corner of the room.

Next is texture. A flat and dull surrounding is not fun. You can fix this by installing wallpapers on walls.

The last is love. This one is something that you can see but you can feel it. When you do the decorating with love, your family member will feel the love, radiating from every detail you have set.
