Three Benefits of Drapes for the Winter Season

 

Drapes can make a room instantly luxurious, cozy and warm. What a great feel for winter. A cascade of opulent material flowing from the ceiling line into puddles on the floor, creates a soft, grounded feel to a room. Drapes not only look fabulous in a home, they are also quite practical -- especially during the winter months. Let's look at three benefits of drapes for the winter season.

Eliminates Drafts

It is well known that our windows are where there tends to be the most heat loss during the winter. As cold breezes begin to chill the night air, it becomes less comfortable to sit on that couch in front of the window. Since drapes (unlike curtains) are of heavier material and can be lined for UV protection, the drafty windows are kept at bay. This reduces your energy bill and makes your wallet very happy.

Creates More Privacy

As winter approaches and the sun sinks further to the south, the hours of the day wane into darkness much earlier. Another benefit of drapes is privacy. We turn our lights on in the house much earlier. We are up and about after sunset for a longer period of time... and so is everyone else. Drapes are excellent for privacy and light control during the winter months.

Reduces Noise

The days are shorter during winter and with these shorter days, we tend to settle down earlier in the evenings for quiet time. Watching our favorite program, listening to music or curling up to read a captivating novel are not quite as enjoyable with the sound of cars humming by. Then, there are the neighbors who want you to enjoy their music as much as they do -- and they aren't shy about sharing it with you. Drapes are a great reply to noisy neighborhoods. These beautiful window treatments act as a sound barrier to the great outdoors. So, close those drapes, grab a cup of cocoa and settle down to do a little binge-watching on Netflix in peace and quiet.

Drapes are a beautiful addition to any decor. Custom drapes are both stunning and functional. These three benefits of drapes for the winter season are worth the investment.
