In the realm of interior design, finding the perfect balance between natural light and privacy is key. As homeowners, we want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere while maintaining control over the amount of sunlight entering our living spaces. This is where sheer shades come into play. At MarQi Blinds, we offer a wide range of sheer shades that not only provide the desired light control but also add a touch of elegance to any room. In this blog post, we’ll explore the features and benefits of our sheer shades, helping you create a soft and inviting ambiance in your home.
Light Filtering:
One of the standout features of our sheer shades is their ability to filter natural light. These shades are crafted using a delicate fabric that allows sunlight to gently diffuse into the room, creating a warm and inviting glow. The light-filtering properties of sheer shades help to reduce glare, protect your furniture from UV damage, and create a soft and serene atmosphere.

Privacy and View:
While sheer shades allow for ample natural light, they also offer a level of privacy. The unique construction of these shades provides a balance between visibility and privacy. During the day, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the outdoors while maintaining a sense of seclusion from prying eyes. In the evening, sheer shades offer privacy by diffusing the view from outside while still allowing some light to pass through.

Elegant Design Options:
At MarQi Blinds, we understand the importance of style and personalization. Our sheer shades are available in a variety of elegant designs, patterns, and textures to suit any interior decor. Whether you prefer a classic, understated look or a more contemporary and bold style, our collection has something for everyone. From neutral tones to vibrant hues, you can choose the perfect sheer shades that seamlessly blend with your existing home decor.

Energy Efficiency:
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, sheer shades also offer energy-saving benefits. By allowing natural light to filter into your rooms, you can reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, thus lowering your energy consumption. Additionally, our sheer shades provide insulation by reducing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, helping to regulate the temperature inside your home and potentially reducing your energy bills.
Conclusion:
Sheer shades are a perfect combination of style, light control, and privacy. With MarQi Blinds’ collection of sheer shades, you can create a soft and inviting ambiance in your home while enjoying the benefits of natural light. Whether you seek a contemporary look or a more traditional aesthetic, our sheer shades offer a range of designs to suit your taste. Experience the elegance and functionality of MarQi Blinds’ sheer shades and transform your living spaces into serene retreats filled with beautiful, diffused light.

How Can You Cool Your Home With Blinds During a Heat Wave?

Better insulated homes and blistering hot summers mean the sun’s rays become trapped, causing the building to overheat. Temperatures in some buildings are even reaching 30 degrees before midday, yes!

Of course, we all want to cool our homes down, feel comfortable, and sleep well. So lots of us are resorting to running air conditioning and floor fans around the clock, causing energy bills to skyrocket.

Looking at average household energy usage over the course of a month, MoneyTransfers.com reports running air conditioning during the heatwave could increase your energy bills by a massive 123% per month.

In this article, we will guide you on the simple, cost-effective solution of using your blinds to intercept the heat and reduce the need for costly air conditioning and using fans to cool down.

How to use your blinds to keep your home cool?

You can help prevent excessive heat gain by blocking or reflecting the sun’s rays. To do so, close your blinds during the day when the sun is out, especially on windows where the sun shines directly. Once the sun has set and it starts to cool down outside, you can open your blinds before bedtime to let the now cooler air circulate.

If you have dark coloured blinds in your home, our advice differs. We recommend keeping dark blinds open during the hottest parts of the day, as they will attract the sun and cause the blinds and windows to overheat.

Another top tip is to keep your windows closed during the hottest parts of the day. People automatically assume they should open their windows when it gets too warm. However, in super-hot temperatures like the latest USA heat wave, it’s best to keep the windows closed when the sun is out and open when the sun sets. However, when it’s time to go to bed, ensure your ground-floor windows are closed for security.

Which colour of blinds are best to keep your home cool in fall?

Light-coloured blinds, particularly white are the best choice for keeping your home cool in summer. Dark coloured blinds, especially black blinds, can have the opposite effect. They’ll do their job in terms of privacy and light control, but black blinds will fail when it comes to helping regulate the temperature in summer. The dark colour will attract the sun and could potentially add to overheating.

White or light-coloured blinds are the best choice all year round. They won’t attract the intense summer sun and will still be effective in winter at helping to retain the heat when used correctly.

Which type of blinds are best to keep your home cool in fall?

All blinds have different thermal and opacity properties, making some more superior at blocking the sun and cooling your home than others. Here we will give our expert opinion on the best blinds to cool your home in Fall.

MarQi Blinds – Blackout Roller Shades

Blackout blinds are one of your best options as they prevent sunlight from passing through the opaque fabric and from the room getting too hot. A customer favourite for bedrooms, blackout blinds will not only allow you to sleep at a comfortable temperature but also block any light seepage so the room is pitch black to create the ideal sleeping environment for you and the wider family.

Maybe you work irregular patterns or night shifts and must sleep during the day. Blackout blinds are the perfect choice, especially during heat wave temperatures, which have been breaking records in the early afternoon.

Blackout blinds are available in various styles, including aluminum blinds, vertical blinds, faux wood blinds, roman blinds and wood blinds.
