As summer approaches, homeowners have the perfect opportunity to revamp the aesthetics of their interiors. Window treatments, an often underestimated home decor element, can truly revolutionize the look of your summer abode. We at The Blind Guy are pleased to bring to you three exceptional shade styles—solar shades, cellular shades, and patio shades—sourced from reliable brands such as Hunter Douglas, Graber®, Alta, Insolroll®, Sunesta, and Norman®, that will make your summer truly stunning and even more comfortable.

1. Solar Shades

Starting our list are the immensely functional yet visually appealing solar shades. They are designed to control sunlight, reduce glare, and safeguard your furniture from harmful UV rays, all while still ensuring an uninterrupted view of the outdoors.

The Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades are our primary pick for solar shades. These elegant shades deliver UV protection and are available in an array of attractive fabrics to align with your summer home's décor.

For a touch of modern sophistication, consider opting for Graber's Solar Shades. With their superior light control prowess and minimalistic design, they are a perfect fit for creating a chic summer ambiance in your home. We also carry a wide array of awnings and screen shades, and we are certain that we can find something that will suit you and your home perfectly! 

2. Cellular Shades

Cellular shades are second on our list, known for their remarkable insulation capabilities that help maintain a cool indoor environment during scorching summer months. These shades come with unique honeycomb-shaped pockets that capture air, creating a thermal barrier between your window and the room's interior.

We recommend Alta's Honeycomb Shades for their distinct design that traps air effectively, cutting down on heat gain during summers and yielding better air conditioning efficiency. They are available in multiple colors and materials, so you can find a match for every unique style preference. A notable alternative is Norman’s Portrait™ Honeycomb Shades. Apart from promoting energy efficiency, these shades deliver a polished aesthetic appeal with their plush, stylish fabric options.

3. Patio Shades

To enhance your outdoor summer experience, patio shades make a phenomenal addition. These outdoor solutions supply shade, ensure privacy, and grant protection against outdoor elements, transforming your patio into a more comfortable space for relaxation or social gatherings.

Look no further than Insolroll’s Oasis® Patio Shades to enhance your outdoor spaces with efficient sun and heat control. Their extensive customizable options allow you to adapt these shades to your outdoor sanctuary perfectly whilst matching your home's style and color scheme.

Equally impressive are Sunesta's Sunroll outdoor roller shades. These manually operated, or motorized shades can morph your patio into an exclusive haven, restricting sunlight and offering a cool respite from the harsh summer heat.
