Earth Day isn’t just a day to celebrate our planet—it’s a call to action. Each year, many people come together to embrace habits and make choices that help preserve the environment. This Earth Day, why not start with your home? By choosing window treatments that are designed with the planet in mind, you can make a positive impact while enhancing your space’s style and comfort. Let’s explore some window treatment options that combine both purpose and design.
Function & Purpose
Real Wood Durability
For a timeless look, real wood blinds and wood shutters offer both classic style and lasting durability.
These Bali® Wood Blinds are crafted from 100% pure North American hardwood, sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that your window treatments are both beautiful and gentler on the environment.
Lower Energy Consumption
Cellular shades are designed to help with insulation by trapping air within their pockets, which can aid in maintaining more stable indoor temperatures and may help lower your energy consumption by reducing the need for heating and cooling.
SimplyEco Cellular Shades, made from recycled plastic bottles and certified by sustainable forestry programs, provide a thoughtful way to reduce waste and promote the reuse of materials—helping both your home and reducing harm to the environment.
GREENGUARD Certified Window Treatments
To ensure your window treatments meet rigorous indoor air quality standards, look for GREENGUARD certified blinds and shades. Certified options, like these LEVOLOR® Faux Wood Blinds, are tested for low chemical emissions and contribute to healthier indoor air.
By choosing GREENGUARD certified blinds and shades, you’re creating a safer space for your family and reducing harm to the environment at the same time.
Celebrating Nature Through Design
Earthy Materials
If you’re drawn to a natural aesthetic, woven wood shades are a perfect fit. Made from renewable materials such as jute, kenaf and bamboo, these shades capture the earthy beauty of nature and bring it directly into your home.
Earthy Colors & Prints
Earth-inspired colors and prints can enhance your space with calming, natural tones. Shades in greens, leaf patterns and floral designs help establish a connection with the outdoors.
