One might consider wear and tear resulting from usage overtime to be the cause for furnishings and floors that are faded or bleached.  You might be surprised if you don’t already know the other causes that can cause the floor and furnishings adorning your house to wear and look aged; namely dust and sunlight.

Sweeping or vacuuming wood floors is sufficient to get rid of the dust that settles onto it.  What dust can do to your pillows, curtains and other furnishings does not need mentioning.

Sunlight on the other hand has effects worse than dust ever can! It bleaches color from most household furnishings. Excessive exposure makes floors and furniture brittle and dry. Even carpets begin to look worn out if exposed to too much sunlight.

Changing floors, furnishings and furniture because sunlight and dust decided to play truant is not only illogical, it’s also impractical. The simplest answer to these travails lies in the window coverings.  Not only will they protect the interior of your house from the harmful elements of nature, but they can also add to the décor of your home.

Available in faux wood, aluminium and vinyl, you can rest assured that they’ll last for years. You can choose to let the sun in when you want, say early in the morning; when it is not so harsh, and shut it out at your will. Ensuring the safety and long life of your home décor was never so easy.
