Before, they were used to simply serve their purpose -- hang curtains. Today, curtain rods are more than just a tool. They have evolved into a more functional, more sophisticated devices that do not just hang curtains but also compliment and enhance the overall effect of the drapes.



Not everyone cheap ready-made curtains knows what they should do to increase their home security and most people make at least one of the following mistakes. However, taking a few simple steps can help ensure that your house and your loved ones do not become victims.

The first thing people notice is if the home is bright and cheery. The last thing homebuyers want to do is walk into a dark hole and depend on a realtor to turn on (and off) the lights and open (and close) all the blinds or shades. The cheery greeting your home gives to people will give them an immediate impression as to how they FEEL about your home. If you have pets, be sure to pack away all their toys and dog foot or kitty litters. Keep your home smelling fresh and clean that doesn't repel the prospective homebuyer.

The typical window blind comes in a number of forms. You have the popular roman, roller, Venetian and bamboo blinds to name but a few. These are generally lower priced than bespoke or custom curtains for instance. Although lower in price they can serve the purposes well dependent upon your goals. Roller blinds are a good option for those areas of the home which does not require total privacy.

Doors are another matter. When homes settle tende vetrate panoramiche after a few years panoramic glass curtains the entire building can shift leaving the doors looking like they are hanging crookedly. So how do you fix that so cold air doesn't seep in under the door?

I'm always amazed how many people leave their window coverings open at night. Take the opportunity away from opportunists by closing your blinds at dusk. Giving burglars a street view of your personal inventory doesn't make sense.

Finally, add some spirit of the season. Perhaps you know a neighbor who has squash overflowing their kitchen? Offer to take some off their hands and display it piled on the porch, or stacked in a wheelbarrow. (Tuck a small pot of mums into the stack for a special fall touch!) Pick up some candles from the dollar shop or discount store and use them nightly for your family and yourself. Pick up seed pods, pinecones, and acorns on your family nature walks and start a nature jar to display and keep as a memento of your year. Line a serving bowl with a cloth napkin or fabric remnant, and fill with apples and pears form the grocery. Set out small dished with cinnamon sticks and cloves to sweeten the air with the fall feeling.
