Roman Shades – You can block out a lot of light with these shades especially if you get black-out fabric lining. What I love about these shades is that you can choose from a lot of different fabrics, and patterns to match your current décor or to bring some color to your space.

Honeycomb Shades: Installing honeycomb shades on a standard window can reduce the amount of heat entering a room from 22-76%! You can definitely give your air conditioner a break and save on your electricity bills this summer.

Vertical Blinds – Great for large and tall windows since they easily allow you to control the amount of light filtering into a room. Choose blinds that are light colored to reflect the heat rather than absorb it.

I definitely agree Kenneth as I’m a huge fan of spaces with loads of natural sunlight! Floor length windows as seen in the French provincial styled homes are my favorite. 🙂
